The baby has a runny nose and diarrhea for four days.

If your baby has a cough, sometimes unable to cough, runny nose, and diarrhea for four days, it may be caused by an upper respiratory tract infection caused by a respiratory tract infection. It may also be a symptom caused by diseases such as indigestion or allergic asthma.

1. Reasons

1. Upper respiratory tract infection: If the baby is attacked by bacteria or viruses, it may induce an upper respiratory tract infection, resulting in symptoms such as coughing, sometimes unable to cough, runny nose, diarrhea, etc.

2. Indigestion: If the baby eats too much food that is difficult to digest, such as glutinous rice balls, fried chicken, etc., the food will accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and cannot be absorbed and excreted in time, which may produce more gas, and then symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea will occur, accompanied by loss of appetite, and nausea, vomiting, etc.

3. Allergic asthma: If the baby is prone to allergies, he may have an allergic reaction after coming into contact with pollen, dust mites and other substances. At this time, he will have symptoms such as coughing (sometimes unable to cough up), runny nose, diarrhea, etc.

II. Treatment

It is recommended that parents take their babies to the hospital for treatment and conduct targeted treatment after the cause is determined. If the above situation is caused by bacterial infection, you can use amoxicillin granules, cefixime dry suspension and other drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the above phenomenon is caused by viral infection, you need to take oseltamivir phosphate granules and other drugs for antiviral treatment as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, you can also relieve discomfort by applying hot compresses to the abdomen.

In daily life, you should pay attention to a reasonable diet and try to eat light food. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, dragon fruit and cucumbers, which can supplement the vitamin C needed by the body and help the recovery of the disease. If the baby is obviously unwell, you need to go to the pediatric respiratory department as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment.
