Question
A two-year-old baby has been experiencing yellow nasal discharge for a week, along with coughing. Symptoms include worsening cough in the morning and after naps, with an increase in coughing on the third day. After taking half a packet of medication, on the fourth night, there was a hoarse voice in the throat, with less coughing than the previous day and the presence of phlegm. Coughing was accompanied by wheezing sounds, and wheezing was heard during back auscultation but no hoarseness. The baby had bronchitis 20 days ago and has since recovered. Are the symptoms worsening? Will each cough be like this?
Answer
For respiratory discomfort in a two-year-old, the focus is on home care. Firstly, ensure appropriate warmth and coolness, reduce stress, drink plenty of water, and ensure adequate rest. You can use physiological saline to clean the nostrils and take medication as prescribed by a doctor. These are the suggestions for dealing with your baby’s yellow nasal discharge and cough symptoms. I hope this helps you; wishing your baby good health.
