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 for my baby's cough and nasal congestion?Doctor's answer:
You can buy some medicine for the baby to take, or infant pseudoephedrine drops. You can go to the hospital and have the doctor listen to the baby's lungs. If necessary, they can take X-rays. You can also take two days of medicine to see if it works. It's normal for babies to get sick, so don't worry too much. Take the baby to the hospital to see. The baby is quite young. If the baby is in good spirits, I think you can start with medicine. But if the baby cries, I suggest taking the baby to the hospital to see. It's a cooling medicine, but there's a bit too much. The baby might not like the taste. Hmm, then you can wait and see.Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and drinking, and increase physical activity to boost their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
