Question
My baby has had a cold for nearly a month now, with coughing, nasal congestion, and runny nose. The symptoms ease up after taking medicine, but they come back a few days later. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
If there are blood streaks in the mucus, it might be caused by rhinitis or sinusitis. It’s recommended to consult a doctor for examination and follow their advice on medication. Be aware that persistent coughing could indicate pneumonia. Let the doctor listen to the lungs and pay close attention. Cultivate good sleep habits, maintain treatment, eat a light diet, and engage in more aerobic exercise to boost immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
