Question
The baby has been sneezing and showing signs of drowsiness for the past few days. How should I handle this?
Answer
If the baby only has a runny nose without any other symptoms, it may be due to gastrointestinal discomfort. If accompanied by symptoms such as coughing or fever, it could be a common cold. Typically, yellow mucus indicates a wind-heat type of cold, and appropriate cold medicine should be used. It is recommended to bring the baby to the hospital for a trace element test to determine the type of cold for targeted treatment. It is also important to ensure the baby stays hydrated and consumes plenty of fruits. I hope these suggestions are helpful and wish the baby a healthy recovery.
