Question
Six-month-old baby, elevated blood count, no fever, runny nose, coughing – what to do?
Answer
Infants exposed to cold air may have runny noses due to sensitivity, which can be clear if it’s in the morning or with nasal congestion. This is often caused by allergies. However, runny nose can also be a symptom of colds and flu. If the mucus is yellow, it may indicate a viral infection. It is recommended to take common cold medicine like Sangju Cold Tablets, pediatric cold syrup, Platycodon root syrup, Yinyao Detoxification, Liu Shen Wan, and Vitamin C for a regular cold.
