Question
A 1-year-old baby is coughing and has a yellow nasal discharge. There’s no fever, but the coughing has decreased after taking medication, but frequent sneezing has increased. Concerns are raised about whether it might be allergic rhinitis or if a change in medication is needed.
Answer
This condition may be allergic rhinitis following a cold. It is recommended to continue taking medication while adding antihistamines and trying traditional Chinese medicine such as mulberry leaves mixed with honey water to alleviate symptoms. If there is no improvement, consider switching to azithromycin. In daily life, it’s important to avoid catching colds and maintain smooth bowel movements.
