Question
Is a newborn’s sneezing and yellow nasal discharge a sign of a cold?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, it may be caused by lung heat, also known as lung fire. It is recommended to use fish-odor grass granules for oral administration, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water. Currently, it is advisable to temporarily fast and undergo continuous enteral decompression through a gastric tube to correct dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and acid-base imbalance. Hypokalemia is often overlooked due to blood concentration, and special attention should be paid to it. After 24 hours of improvement in the condition, you can try to inject a small amount of liquid into the gastric tube. If there is no retention, you can then gradually start with small amounts of food intake.
