Question
Starting from January 3, 2012, the baby has developed symptoms of runny nose and sneezing, and occasionally coughs today. The baby has been taking Paracetamol Amine granules for two days, but there has been no improvement. Additionally, the baby has been drinking ginger sugar water, about two to three spoonfuls each time. Are there any other medication suggestions?
Answer
The doctor believes that the baby may have weakened immunity after catching a cold, leading to bacterial or viral invasion and upper respiratory tract infection, with symptoms including runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. It is suggested to give the baby oral Roxithromycin and antiviral oral liquid, drink plenty of warm water, and take cold granules. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding cold, hard, or spicy irritant foods. Moreover, it is important to keep warm to prevent catching a cold again and alleviate the symptoms of the common cold. I hope this helps.
