Question
With the recent changes in weather, the baby has been experiencing symptoms such as a stuffy nose, sneezing, and runny nose, with dry mucus. The baby also coughs up mucus while burping, sometimes with white mucus and sometimes with yellow-green mucus. Is this a cold? If so, is it due to wind-cold or wind-heat? Please provide appropriate treatment suggestions. Thank you.
Answer
The baby’s symptoms might be caused by a fever. If the phlegm is white, it could indicate wind-cold fever; if it’s yellow, it might be wind-heat fever. It is suggested to give the baby Huotong and Zailin medications, along with Xiao’er Qingfei Liangxue Granules, which should provide good relief for the baby’s condition. Doctor’s Inquiry: How long have these symptoms been ongoing?
