Question
A newborn baby, just over a month old, has a hoarse throat, excessive eye mucus, and one nostril that is blocked. The parent inquires whether it is safe to use pediatric sore throat granules.
Answer
Doctors suggest using pediatric sore throat granules, although the effect may be minimal, and recommend drinking more water. The blockage in the nostril might be due to nasal mucus; plastic soft tubes can be used to apply vegetable oil for lubrication to help expel the mucus. For the eye issues, it is advised to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible and alternate between using acyclovir eye drops and flupropen eye drops for eye drops, while maintaining good hygiene.
