Question
With the weather getting colder recently, I’ve noticed that my child has been sneezing and has a runny nose when they wake up in the morning. What could be the cause of this? Are there any ways to treat or alleviate this situation?
Answer
When babies are exposed to cold air, their noses may run due to allergies. If there’s a runny nose or congestion in the morning, it’s usually caused by allergies, and the mucus is typically clear. However, if the mucus is yellow, it may indicate a viral infection. For a common cold, it’s recommended to give them drugs like Sangju Cold Tablets, Children’s Cold Syrup, Platycodon Root Decoction, Yinyao Jiedu, Liushen Pill, and Vitamin C.
