What to Do When Your Baby Has a Runny Nose?

Question

My baby is 28 months old and has had a runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion for the past six days. After taking children’s paracetamol and chlorpheniramine, other symptoms disappeared four days later, except for the runny nose. However, until today, there is still a runny nose, and it seems like there is a small lump in the left nostril, but not in the right one, and it’s a bit red inside. What could be the cause?

Answer

Firstly, the runny nose you mentioned is mainly caused by a cold. Additionally, it’s important to keep warm and increase fluid intake appropriately for your child. You mentioned a small lump in the nostril; is there also diarrhea? It’s usually recommended to give your child more fluids to reduce heat and moisturize the nasal mucosa. The above suggestions are for the question “My baby is 28 months old and has had a runny nose for the past six days.” I hope this helps you; wishing you health!
