Question
My 40-day-old baby often has nasal mucus and frequently spits up milk. Is this normal or a sign of a cold? The baby had a heat rash or eczema on the face before, which improved after using Elderberry Baby Antiseptic Cream, but the face turned red again yesterday.
Answer
The baby’s condition may be due to overheating leading to sweating and then catching a cold. It is recommended to give the baby oral children’s ammonium chlorpheniramine and cefixime medication, and use furacilin nasal drops to treat nasal congestion. This treatment can help clear the nasal passages, thereby improving the baby’s symptoms. Remember not to overheat the baby.
