Question
My baby has been sneezing and has a runny nose recently. Are there any medications that can alleviate these symptoms?
Answer
If your baby is just experiencing a runny nose and sneezing, it might be a mild cold. You can try giving your child some children’s cold medication, such as Grippostad C or Magnies Citrate. If the baby has a fever, you can administer Ibuprofen or Paracetamol. However, it is best to consult a doctor before giving any medication to ensure its safety and appropriate dosage. Also, make sure your baby drinks plenty of water and gets adequate rest, which will help in the recovery process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to rule out other potential issues.
