Question
The baby has had a stuffy nose for a while, often gets hiccups, and during naptime, there seems to be a phlegmy sound in the throat with a gurgling noise. What should I do?
Answer
The baby is 70 days old and is experiencing nasal congestion and hiccups, possibly accompanied by a throaty sound with phlegm, which may indicate a feverish condition. It is recommended to give the baby plenty of water and consider administering appropriate fever-reducing medication. Suggest giving the baby children’s cold medicine for treatment and applying a cold compress to the root of the nose to relieve symptoms. The diet should be light, and the baby’s condition should be carefully observed. At the same time, avoid dressing the baby too warmly.
