Question
My baby is three months old and has been experiencing coughing, wheezing, and breathing difficulty. After examination, it was found that there is a mild allergy, and medication is being taken with improvement in the condition. However, today the baby has a stuffy nose. What medicine should be taken?
Answer
When a baby experiences coughing, wheezing, and breathing difficulty again along with a stuffy nose, it may be a sign of a recurrent respiratory tract infection and should be treated with medication promptly. You can first use saline solution to clear the nasal passages and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water while staying warm to prevent catching a cold. Monitor the baby’s condition closely, and if necessary, contact a doctor immediately.
