Question
The baby has been fussy, often pulling at its ears. How should one manage a newborn’s nasal congestion and cough after 30 days of birth?
Answer
This condition may be allergic rhinitis, which refers to a non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa that is mainly mediated by IgE after a specific individual comes into contact with an allergen, involving multiple immune cells and cytokines. It is recommended to treat with loratadine tablets. In severe cases, desensitization treatment can be considered. Pediatric allergic rhinitis can have a significant impact on patients, so it is advisable for patients to seek timely consultation with a specialist and receive treatment under a doctor’s guidance. It is okay for the baby to engage in moderate exercise in daily life, and precautions should be taken to prevent overheating. It is hoped that the child will recover quickly!
