Question
How should a 16-month-old baby with a runny nose be handled?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the baby may have viral influenza. It is recommended that you administer appropriate antiviral medication under a doctor’s guidance, such as children’s amantadine granules or ribavirin. At the same time, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water to maintain adequate hydration, and pay attention to the baby’s diet, focusing on light and non-irritating foods. We hope the baby can recover quickly.
