Question

How should I deal with my baby’s yellow nasal discharge? Do I necessarily have to use antibiotics? Previous treatment and outcomes: Ten days ago, I used amoxicillin and it was cured, but it recurred shortly after. Concerned assistance: I prefer not to use antibiotic treatment.

Answer

For a baby with yellow nasal discharge, it is not always necessary to use antibiotics. If the baby has a lot of clear nasal discharge, it may be a sign of fever and could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract. It is advisable to observe if the baby’s throat is red or if there is inflammation of the tonsils, as well as the baby’s level of activity and mental state. Generally, medications like cefamandole capsules or Huitong can be taken for treatment, or you can go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing the baby a healthy and happy recovery.
