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 worsen again just a few days after stopping the medication.What should I do about my baby's cold, cough, nasal congestion, and runny nose that has lasted for a month?
Doctor's answer:
Nasal discharge with blood streaks may be caused by rhinitis or sinusitis, leading to inflammation in the nasal cavity. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, long-term coughing may indicate pneumonia, so the doctor can listen to your lungs. Pay close attention and monitor your condition carefully.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.
