Question
My baby has had a cold for nearly a month. The symptoms of coughing, runny nose, and nasal congestion improved but returned after stopping medication. How should I address my baby’s lingering cold and associated symptoms?
Answer
It is recommended to take your baby to the hospital immediately for a follow-up appointment with a pediatrician and a physical examination. Timely elimination of possible causes such as pediatric bronchitis is advised. If diagnosed, it is suggested to promptly use antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, while also using medications to clear phlegm, soothe asthma, and clear the lungs. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery, and in daily life, pay attention to balanced nutrition supplementation, aerobic exercise to strengthen the body, and maintaining a cheerful mood to accelerate the recovery process.
