Question
My child is 10 months old and has been taking medication for almost half a month, including expectorants, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cold medicine, but there is still some coughing and it hasn’t been completely cured. How should I deal with a 10-month-old baby’s cold with runny nose and nasal congestion?
Answer
A 10-month-old baby experiencing symptoms of a cold, including runny nose and nasal congestion, along with coughing and spitting up milk, may be due to an upper respiratory infection. Coughing and spitting up milk are caused by irritation in the throat, which can be treated with oral Pudelin Liquid, medication, and ambroxol. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients should seek immediate systematic and standardized examinations at a regular three-level A hospital based on their own condition to receive appropriate treatment. In addition, patients should maintain regular work and rest (routines), do well in cold prevention and warmth preservation, eat light and soft foods in daily meals, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
