Patient's question:
My baby is only 3 months old. Recently, she has had a slight cold for the past two days. There's something in her nose, and it seems she's having difficulty breathing. There's also phlegm in her throat, making a rustling sound. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If it's not serious, just a runny nose and mild cough, you can buy Shenmiao series or Little Sunflower brand cold medicine. If you have a fever, but it's not severe, you can apply it to the baby's forehead and place it in the refrigerator at home. You can also use physical fever reduction methods, such as massaging the baby's palm, soles of the feet, armpits, etc., with alcohol. This is not very serious, so it's best to avoid taking the baby to the hospital because the wait will delay the baby's delivery. The hospital is also one of these treatment methods. The baby is too young to recommend injections or water delivery. They all use medication.
