Question
The two-month-old baby started with a fever of 37.5 degrees, which subsided after about three days, but then the nose began to get stuffy. We’ve tried using a warm washcloth on the nose, but it hasn’t helped much. The symptoms are worst at night and have been ongoing for about a month. We’ve seen a doctor, who prescribed physiological saline and a nasal spray, but after a week of use, there has been no improvement, and the baby’s throat has also become hoarse. We are seeking medical help, very worried, and don’t know what to do. It’s truly heart-wrenching to see such a small baby in distress.
Answer
This could be an upper respiratory infection in the baby. Please note to keep the baby warm, maintain good indoor air circulation, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. If the fever persists, it’s best to undergo intravenous treatment to prevent the inflammation from spreading.
