What to Do If Your Baby Has Yellow Nasal Discharge in May

Answer

Most cases of yellow nasal discharge in babies are caused by the flu, which is primarily treated with antiviral therapy. Combining this with azithromycin can enhance the effectiveness. Severe coughing can be treated with expectorants like orange red expectorant syrup. For fever, physical cooling (temperature reduction) methods should be the first choice, and antipyretics can be taken if necessary to lower body temperature. It’s important to get plenty of rest and drink fluids. If the yellow nasal discharge is due to a viral infection, common remedies for the common cold such as Sangjiao Cold Tablets, children’s cold syrups, Platycodon root syrups, Yinyao Jiedu, Liu Shen Wan, and Vitamin C may suffice.
