Question
The baby woke up with a bit of a stuffy nose yesterday morning, and it was fine during the day. He coughed a few times last night. This morning, when he woke up, he had a stuffy nose again, and he felt phlegm in his throat, coughed a few times, and just started to have a little runny nose with clear mucus. Everyone says that children are too young to take medicine, but I heard it’s viral flu. Is pediatric acupuncture helpful, or should we go to the hospital for medication?
Answer
Based on your description, I suggest you take your child to a pediatrician for a follow-up visit so that the doctor can conduct a detailed examination to determine the child’s condition and guide symptomatic treatment according to the examination results. Please actively cooperate with treatment according to the doctor’s advice and wish the baby a speedy recovery. It is recommended to check blood routine to confirm whether it is a viral infection. Drink plenty of warm water. Wishing the patient a quick recovery!
