Patient's question:
My baby is 18 months old. Six days ago, I noticed that she had a runny nose, hiccups, and nasal congestion. She was given children's paracetamol and chlorpheniramine. Four days later, I found that she was only still having a runny nose, and the other symptoms had disappeared. The medication was stopped, but until today, she is still running a fever. I noticed a small lump in her left nostril, but not in the right one. The inside is a bit red. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
First, the symptom of runny nose you mentioned is mainly caused by a cold. Additionally, it's important to pay attention to preventing colds and appropriately increasing your child's fluid intake. Regarding the small bumps in your child's nasal cavity, are they experiencing stomach issues? Increasing fluid intake for your child regularly can help clear heat and moisturize the nasal mucosa. The above suggestions are for the question "My baby is 2 years old, and six days ago I noticed they have a runny nose." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
