Question
What should I do if my baby has a slight nasal congestion and cough?
Answer
This situation is likely due to your baby having a cold. It’s important to ensure they drink plenty of water and can take symptomatic medication if necessary. If the symptoms are not severe and there is no inflammation, there is no need for lung-cooling and blood-cooling medications. If the cough is severe with a lot of phlegm that cannot be coughed up, it’s recommended to have a medical check-up. It’s best to visit a regular three-level A hospital for a systematic examination as soon as possible based on your baby’s condition, so that treatment can be tailored to their symptoms and recovery can be expedited.
