Patient's question:
It has been very hot recently, and the air conditioner has been on in the house all the time. As a result, the baby accidentally caught a cold and has been constantly running a runny nose. Please ask how to treat the baby's cough, sneezing, and runny nose.Doctor's answer:
This situation is likely a upper respiratory infection (also known as a cold). It is recommended to give the baby a dose of the pure Chinese herbal preparation "Erganqing" oral medication for treatment. Carefully monitor the baby's condition. The dosage is 5 milliliters per time, twice a day, after meals. Encourage the baby to drink more warm water to aid recovery. There is no need to intentionally add extra clothing, as too much covering is also not good. Dress the baby in the same amount as adults do. The patient should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
