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 cough and nasal congestion?Doctor's answer:
Suggest that the baby inhale a little moist steam. You can use the steam diffused from hot water in the bathroom or utilize the steam from the mom's facial steamer to achieve this. After inhaling for three to five minutes, thoroughly clear the nasal mucus.Advice: This method is much more effective in relieving nasal congestion compared to simply using a warm towel on the nose, and it also has a cooling effect on the blood. In daily life, patients should maintain balanced nutrition, engage in more aerobic exercises to strengthen the body, and keep a pleasant mood to enhance physical fitness and speed up recovery.
