Question
A 6-month-old baby is sneezing, has clear nasal discharge, is teary-eyed, and is teething with excessive drooling and a slight cough. Does the baby need to take any medicine? It just started today, and what can be done?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems that the baby, who is just over six months old, is sneezing and has a clear nasal discharge, which could be due to allergies. Given your baby’s condition, it’s possible that they have allergic rhinitis and should be treated with allergy medication. Excessive drooling might be caused by oral ulcers. Therefore, it’s recommended to take your child to an oral department for a detailed examination and treatment.
