Dr. Zhang Weiling
Common causes include viral infections, inflammatory irritation leading to mucosal swelling and increased secretions, as well as exposure to chemical fumes, pollen, and other allergens. Ensure your baby drinks plenty of fluids, maintain clean indoor air, and avoid exposing your baby to irritating chemical fumes. Oral administration of pediatric paracetamol–artemisinin–chlorpheniramine granules is recommended; additionally, loratadine syrup and vitamin C chewable tablets may be given.
