Question
A two-month-old male infant has been suffering from a stuffy nose for the past few days, with a whistling sound during breathing. How should one currently handle this situation? Should medication for the common cold be administered, or should other methods be used? Thank you!
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s condition may be due to nasal mucosal swelling caused by catching a cold. Symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication or antiviral drugs can be given to the baby. If the symptoms do not subside or worsen, it is advisable to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. In daily life, it is important to keep warm, maintain good indoor air circulation, get plenty of sunlight, and boost the body’s immunity.
