Question
What should I do with my baby’s cough and bad breath?
Answer
My baby has had a cold for half a month and it hasn’t improved, with a slight nasal congestion. The baby seems to be quite uncomfortable, so I would like to ask the experts for help. Previous treatment and results: The baby has taken some pediatric aminophylline and anti-inflammatory drugs. This situation is characterized by acute upper respiratory tract infection with incomplete treatment, leaving inflammation in the nasal mucosa, requiring further anti-inflammatory treatment. Antibiotic nasal drops or eye drops can be purchased from a pharmacy. First, clean the nasal cavity with water, being careful to do so gently, and then drop 2-3 drops of antibiotic solution into the nostrils. This should be done twice or three times a day, which should effectively heal the nasal mucosa inflammation. This method is direct and safer with fewer side effects than oral medication.
