Question
The 9-month-old baby often has a runny nose and nasal congestion, which has persisted for about 20 days. Although antibiotics and decongestant medications have been taken before, the symptoms fluctuate. Inquire whether there is still inflammation, and whether it is necessary to continue giving the baby erythromycin or azithromycin for anti-inflammatory purposes.
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby may be experiencing persistent nasal congestion due to nasal mucosal damage after a cold. It is recommended to provide symptomatic treatment, such as taking Lijunsha Granules and Budian Blue Oral Liquid, and using Nasal Cleanse to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, ensure the baby’s adequate fluid intake, avoid spicy or heat-inducing foods, and make sure that bowel movements are smooth. It is hoped that these suggestions will help the baby recover soon.
