Question

My child, who is 5 years and 2 months old, has been suffering from a runny nose and cough since the National Day holiday. Is this very serious?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, the baby should have caught a cold. You can give them some Ganlike syrup and Magan granules to try, and also check their blood count. If the blood count is high, antibiotic treatment may be necessary. Encourage the child to drink plenty of water, and if there is a fever, you can administer ibuprofen suspension orally. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
