Question
Hello doctor, my child is a 4-year-old boy. He has been coughing and has a cold recently. What should I do if my baby sneezes and has a runny nose while sleeping?
Answer
Hello! Based on the description, a child experiencing coughing and sneezing symptoms should be treated according to the cause. At this age, children have relatively weak liver and kidney metabolism, so it’s best to choose pediatric medications to prevent affecting liver and kidney function, such as antiviral oral liquids, etc. Parents should ensure the child’s cold protection, have a diet with light, soft foods, often ventilate the room, and drink plenty of hot water. Wishing your child good health!
