Question
My child is five months old, and they have been constantly having a runny nose recently. They are also very fussy and cry a lot. We’ve taken them to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctors didn’t find any significant issues. What are some good methods to solve this problem?
Answer
Based on your description, your child may be suffering from a common cold caused by catching a chill. Common colds are more prevalent in autumn and winter and are usually caused by exposure to cold. It is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine formulas such as “Jing Fang Baidu San” for treatment. Additionally, ensuring your child drinks plenty of fluids can aid in their recovery. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take your child to the doctor promptly and follow the professional advice given. Meanwhile, parents should pay attention to maintaining a balanced diet and ensuring adequate rest for their child to help them recover faster.
