Patient's question:
My baby has had a cold for almost a month. Symptoms include coughing, nasal congestion, and runny nose. After taking medicine, the symptoms were relieved, but they started to worsen again just a few days after stopping the medication.55Doctor's answer:
Due to the physiological characteristics of infants, such as narrow nasal passages and rich capillaries in the mucous membranes, it is very easy for them to develop swelling and nasal congestion when they catch a cold or are infected with bacteria or viruses. If the child has no other discomforts, you can apply cold compresses to the fontanelles, drink more warm water appropriately, and gently massage the sides of the baby's nose bridge to see if the symptoms stabilize. If the condition does not improve significantly, you can take the Chanshuantong Antiviral Syrup orally.Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
