Patient's question:
Hello, my baby is 5 months old and has been running a nose all the time. What should I do? Now he weighs 19 pounds. Is it okay to give him children's medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of the baby should be considered as an upper respiratory infection, which may be caused by catching a cold. It can lead to a runny nose. The baby is too young to be given medication at home by themselves, as some medications can be harmful to the baby. Pay attention to observing the baby's overall condition, give the baby more warm water to drink, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid catching a cold. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to take the baby to the hospital. Medication should be given to the baby based on the doctor's examination and according to the symptoms.
