Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old baby is only having clear runny nose, without coughing or fever. The baby has taken Xinning Granules but there has been no improvement. Please inquire about the cause and solution.
Answer
The baby may have contracted viral influenza. It is recommended to take ribavirin or antiviral oral liquid, while also ensuring adequate hydration and nutrition, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. This is usually a cold caused by catching a chill in the summer, and dietary remedies such as olive and white radish soup can help accelerate recovery.
