Patient's question:
My baby has had a cold for nearly a month. Symptoms include coughing, nasal congestion, and runny nose. After taking medicine, the symptoms were relieved, but they started to get sick again just a few days after stopping the medication. How can I help with my child's nasal congestion?Doctor's answer:
Children with nasal congestion can apply a lot of peppermint oil under their noses to improve nasal ventilation. You can also use children's nasal strips to relieve nasal congestion symptoms. Additionally, you can boil a pot of hot tea and have the baby lean their nose towards the steam, which also helps with nasal ventilation. You can also find a professional to perform nasal irrigation for the child to thoroughly remove nasal secretions.In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and keep a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and speed up recovery.
