Question
Why does my 10-month-old baby often have a runny nose in the morning, but the situation improves during the day?
Answer
Generally, babies in the early stages of a cold often suffer from viral infections. Parents can initially give the baby some pediatric cold remedies, such as ribavirin granules, and ensure the baby takes in plenty of fluids. If the baby starts to cough with phlegm, it may be necessary to add symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, such as Zailin (amoxicillin) or cefaclor granules. Parents should closely monitor their baby’s condition, and if the illness worsens, they should seek medical attention for the baby as soon as possible.
