Question
What should I do if my 7-month-old baby has hiccups, a clear runny nose, and is stuffy at night while sleeping?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby might be suffering from a wind-cold type of common cold, with symptoms including hiccups, clear runny nose, and nasal congestion. Medications are currently being taken, but they are not suitable for a wind-cold type of common cold. Can you tell me which type of cold the baby has, and is there any relation between the Bloodshot in the stool and the medication taken? Do you need to change the cold medicine?
Suggestions
In my judgment, the baby might have developed a common cold due to lowered body resistance after catching a chill, with bacteria or viruses entering the body. Clinical symptoms include runny nose and nasal congestion. I believe this is a wind-cold type of common cold. I suggest you take your child to see a doctor and pay attention to drinking more warm water, consuming light and easy-to-digest foods, and avoiding extremely cold, hard foods, as well as spicy and other irritating foods. At the same time, you can use nasal drops to clear the nose, and make sure to keep warm to prevent catching another chill that could worsen the cold symptoms. I hope my explanation is helpful.
