Question

The 16-month-old baby has been suffering from a persistent runny nose for 10 days, with no other symptoms. Suddenly, the baby developed a fever. After taking honeysuckle granules and fever-reducing medication, the fever subsided, but now the baby is coughing and has a runny nose again. What should be done?

Answer

Based on the description, the baby may have bronchitis or an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible, undergo a blood test, and develop a treatment plan based on the test results. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding cold, greasy, spicy, and other irritating foods. Also, be cautious about overeating and drink plenty of warm water.
