Question
The three-year-old baby initially only had sneezes for about four days without taking any medication. Two days ago, the baby started having a clear runny nose, occasionally sneezing, occasionally coughing without phlegm, and nasal congestion. The baby has been taking pediatric paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules for one day. The baby had pneumonia and was treated about twenty days ago. The baby’s immunity is poor, and they are prone to catching colds.
Answer
If the baby has a cold with symptoms like coughing, appropriate cold medication treatment should be given. If there is tonsillitis with redness and swelling, consider using cefalosporin antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, and also consider using antiviral medications. It is recommended to increase the intake of fruits and vegetables and avoid excessive warmth to prevent the exacerbation of cold symptoms. If necessary, strengthen physical exercise to enhance body resistance.
