What should I do if my baby gets cold and his nose keeps running like water?

Question 1: My child\’s nose starts to run as soon as he catches a cold, but he\’s fine if he doesn\’t get cold. Now the baby\’s bleeding is more serious. Can I ask the doctor what medicine should I take in this case? Dr. Yuan Yunlong’s answer: If the baby is irritated by cold air or other odors and develops nasal congestion and runny nose, allergic rhinitis should be considered after ruling out respiratory tract infection. Because sometimes cold symptoms are very similar to those of allergic rhinitis, you need to take your baby to an otolaryngology department for further diagnosis, and then take appropriate medication based on the diagnosis. Question 2: The labia minora is swollen on one side. It hurts when walking. It hurts when pressed with fingers. Occasionally there is thick blood. In addition, I always feel like I have to urinate, but I only pee a little every time… How should the doctor treat this situation? Dr. Zhang Yanyan’s answer: In this case, you need to go to the hospital because it is suspected to be a Bartholin gland abscess. Women with this condition require surgical treatment, usually with an open drainage procedure. However, this is a minor surgery and there are basically no sequelae after recovery. Question 3: My baby is more than four months old. I don’t know why he doesn’t like to drink milk these days. I didn\’t drink much milk all day today, not even feeding. I drank 60ml last night, but I still didn’t drink much during the day today. Except for not drinking milk, the baby is in a good mental state, but he feels like he is not hungry… Dr. Cui Lixia answered: According to the parents\’ description, the baby may have entered a period of milk aversion. It is recommended to give him enough water (do not force feed him) and observe him for a few days.
