When a baby catches a cold and develops nasal discharge, it is important to keep the baby warm in the early stage to promote sweating. Encourage the baby to drink plenty of warm water and increase the ambient temperature, which may help eliminate viruses from the body. Ensure adequate rest. Medications such as Xiao’er Chaigui Granules, Lianhua Qingwen Capsules (or Granules), Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, and Antiviral Oral Liquid may be administered. For pronounced nasal discharge, saline solution or seawater-based nasal sprays can be used to irrigate the nasal passages; additionally, massage or acupuncture may be considered.
