Question

The baby is one year old and presents with symptoms such as hoarseness in the voice five days ago, followed by coughing with mucus and nasal congestion. There is an increase in crying, a good appetite, and spirits, but the child may be restless during severe periods. The temperature is slightly elevated but without fever. Additionally, the child has been suffering from diarrhea for a week, with formula milk and rice soup and rice paste being the main foods. The child has also undergone pediatric massage but there has been no significant improvement.

Answer

Based on the description, the baby may have caught a cold due to improper dressing and exposure to cold air, or from playing in the wind after sweating, or possibly from influenza infection. It is recommended to use pediatric acetaminophen or pseudoephedrine tablets for treatment along with cough medicine, and to ensure adequate hydration, appropriate warmth, and care.
