Question
What’s causing your baby’s purulent nasal discharge?
Answer
When a child has a cold, nasal discharge is the body’s natural response to expel bacteria and toxins. A shift from clear mucus to purulent discharge is usually a sign that medication is working and the immune system is active. There’s no need to worry excessively; continue with the prescribed medication treatment. If symptoms do not improve, it’s recommended to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination. Also, ensure your baby stays well-hydrated, and wish for a speedy recovery.
