My 11.5-month-old son has finished a 5-day treatment of Taxim-O, a nebulizer, and Ab-Phylline syrup (after previously taking Mucolite, paracetamol, and Ascoril LS) for chest congestion; although his cough is gone, he still has a blocked nose and is wetting fewer diapers with yellow urine, so should we take him back to the doctor, and what medication should I take for my own newly developed sore throat and stuffy nose?
I understand your worry. Yes, please take your son back to the doctor. Fewer wet diapers and yellow urine suggest he may be dehydrated, which needs prompt medical evaluation, especially after finishing medications like Taxim-O and Ab-Phylline. For his blocked nose, saline nasal drops can help. For your own sore throat and stuffy nose, you can take paracetamol for pain relief, use saline nasal sprays, and drink warm fluids. Rest well, and please ensure your baby is assessed soon.
