Question
My baby was born a few days ago, and recently, I don’t know why, the baby always scratches their ears. How can I tell if my baby’s nasal congestion is due to allergies or a cold?
Answer
Allergies mainly manifest as nasal congestion and difficulty breathing, while a cold is accompanied by symptoms like fever, coughing, and sore throat. Your baby’s symptoms may be indicative of chronic allergies, and it is recommended to use cephalosporin medications in combination with traditional Chinese medicine, while also paying attention to diet and hygiene habits to prevent colds. In some cases, surgery may be considered.
