For a six-month-old baby with sneezing and a runny nose, medication can be used for treatment. If the baby's symptoms are mild, with good spirits and normal appetite, you may first observe and let the child drink more warm water, ensuring adequate sleep. If the condition is severe, cold medications such as infant cold granules or感冒灵颗粒 (Cold Ling granules) can be administered orally.
