Question
A baby is experiencing nasal congestion and persistent yellow nasal discharge. Is it appropriate to administer “Children’s Quick Heat Clear” medication?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s symptoms may be due to a cold, but other causes cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to ensure the baby gets plenty of rest, maintains a regular schedule, drinks plenty of fluids to promote metabolism, and follows a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Medication can be administered temporarily while closely monitoring the baby. However, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for further examination and treatment as soon as possible to promote a quick recovery.
