Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s condition may be viral upper respiratory infection, which commonly presents with symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, and cough. It is recommended that you give your baby appropriate pediatric medication such as children’s paracetamol yellow amanitin granules, Shuanghuanglian granules, and children’s Qingfei Liuxue granules, and encourage your baby to drink warm water. If the symptoms do not improve or worsen, please take your baby to the hospital as soon as possible.
