Question

The baby has a runny nose, occasionally coughs, and has difficulty sleeping at night due to severe nasal congestion. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Not concerned about how much help: What medicine to take, how to treat

Answer

Coughing in babies may be a protective reflex that helps clear the respiratory tract. Runny nose aids in expelling viruses from the body. It is suggested to use saline solution to dissolve mucus and allow the child to blow their nose, avoiding over-reliance on medication as it may cause side effects and harm the child’s throat.
