Question

The baby has been constantly sneezing for over two months. Is there a medication called sulfuric acid that can be taken? If not, which medication should be taken? The other symptoms of the common cold are not obvious; it’s just that the baby’s nose is blocked.

Answer

Based on the clinical symptoms you described, the baby is suffering from nasal congestion, which is related to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of a baby’s nose. Babies have smaller nasal passages, shorter nasal passages, and soft nasal mucosa with abundant capillaries compared to adults, making them more prone to congestion and edema. When the nose is blocked, it affects normal breathing. Suggestions: 1. Use a warm and moist towel to apply to the baby’s root nose, which may help alleviate symptoms. 2. Use 0.5% ephedrine nasal drops on each side, one drop per side. Use 1-2 times a day, and avoid excessive use.
