Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Cold, runny nose, and nasal congestion during sleep in infants can generally be treated with medications, hydration, and a light diet. It is recommended that the patient visit a正规 hospital for examination; if the condition is caused by a respiratory infection, it should be taken seriously and actively treated under a doctor's guidance. If yellow nasal discharge occurs, antibiotic treatment may be necessary, such as pediatric Cefixime颗粒. However, please note that Cefixime颗粒 should only be used for infants older than 6 months.
