Patient's question:
The colleague's son is already five months old this year. She said the baby has been particularly uncomfortable for a while. How can you determine if a three-month-old baby's stuffy nose is due to a cold?Doctor's answer:
Listen to his breathing with your ears, you can only hear and feel a buzzing sound from his nose, a bit stuffy. If a baby has a stuffy nose, it is usually caused by a cold, which can lead to difficulty breathing. There may be some discharge from the nasal mucosa, runny nose, and some children may cry constantly. It can also be accompanied by other cold symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, etc. However, because newborns' nasal passages are small, mucus often cannot be expelled, making it difficult for the child to breathe.
