Question
What should I do if my 6-month-old baby has nasal congestion, sneezing, a green runny nose, and blood streaks?
Answer
Symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, a green runny nose with blood streaks in a 6-month-old baby may be caused by infections with rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, or parainfluenza viruses. It is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor promptly for a clear diagnosis and treatment. Before the doctor confirms the cause, you may consider giving the baby medications such as ribavirin, amoxicillin sodium, children’s paracetamol yellow aminecetamol granules, and children’s nasal decongestant granules.
