Question
The baby’s nose is blocked before naps and when waking up. I want to know if it’s because of a fever, bronchitis, or some other illness. What medicine should I give them?
Answer
Persistent nasal congestion might be a post-infection symptom from a fever, residual mild rhinitis, or low personal immunity. If it develops into chronic rhinitis, it may be difficult to fully recover. In such cases, topical rhinitis drops can be used for treatment, and it’s important to stay warm and get the flu vaccine to prevent fever. Oral decongestants and loratadine can also be taken, drink plenty of water, be patient with the treatment, and consult a hospital for detailed examination if necessary.
