Question

The baby has been sniffling for over a week now, and I haven’t given them any medicine. I feel like their nose is a bit cracked. It’s just clear mucus all the time. Do they need to take any medicine? What are those granules on their face?

Answer

Is there anything else besides the sniffling? Like a fever? Based on your description, the baby may need some medication to treat the condition. I suggest using paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules to treat the common cold, along with desloratadine to relieve allergic symptoms. You can also apply Erythromycin ointment to the nose.
