Question
A baby over 50 days old has thick nasal discharge, feels stuffy and breathes with difficulty, has a sensation of phlegm in the throat, makes a whooshing sound when sleeping during the day, but doesn’t feel much pain in the nose. This has been going on for about ten days. What should be done for treatment?
Answer
I am a quick consultation doctor, glad to answer your questions. According to your description, the child should have caught a cold. I suggest you take the child to the hospital for a routine blood test and follow the doctor’s advice on medication. At the same time, encourage your child to drink more water to help expel phlegm. I hope my answer is helpful to you, and wish you and your baby good health!
