What should I do if my baby has an upper respiratory tract infection? Beware of pneumonia!

Question 1: A 10-day-old newborn has severe nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and coughing from time to time. What should I do? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Most of this situation is caused by respiratory tract infection from family members. Check to see if there is any clogged nose. If so, you can clear the nasal cavity. If not, you can apply warm towels to the nose. If the child is in good condition and does not choke, vomit, or have a fever, you can take Monkey Ring Anti-inflammatory Granules and An\’erning Granules orally. If there is no improvement in two days or the child\’s condition worsens, he or she needs to seek medical examination as soon as possible. Infants with respiratory tract infections are particularly susceptible to pneumonia. Question 2: My baby is now 2 years and 8 months old. He farts every time he pees and sometimes poops out. Is this normal? I\’m afraid it\’s an intestinal problem. I have been in this situation for 3 months. My eating, height, and weight are all normal. I have bowel movements once a day, which are a little dry, and I am usually a little constipated. Dr. Song Shufen answered: In this case, it is considered that the spleen and stomach are not well absorbed. You should eat a light diet, avoid snacks, and eat more fruits and vegetables. You can take Pediatric Fupi Granules and cooperate with probiotics. Don\’t be too nervous at the moment. If your baby develops abdominal pain, blood in the stool and other discomforts, seek medical advice promptly. Question 3: My wife is 5 months pregnant and now has pain at the base of her right leg. Is it calcium deficiency or something else? When the leg hurts, a little yellowish-brown fluid will flow out. Will this have any impact on the fetus? Is there any medication that can intervene? Dr. Pan Guilan answered: You should take regular calcium supplements at this gestational age. If you have brown discharge, it does not rule out threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to go to the obstetrics clinic of the hospital. If there are uterine contractions, oral medications to suppress uterine contractions and miscarriage treatment are required.
