Question

My baby is 11 weeks old and has been feeling unwell recently. Then I found out that she is sick. How should I treat my baby’s cold and cough?

Answer

If the symptoms are mild, a common cold usually subsides within a week. Pay attention to children with colds to prevent pneumonia. Drink plenty of water to replenish fluids, and for severe coughing, you can take lung-clearing medications such as children’s lung-clearing syrup, banlangen, etc. Avoid the cold, eat lightly, and ensure adequate rest. Maintain a cheerful mood, get plenty of rest, have a light diet, and avoid greasy and spicy foods; this is beneficial for both parents and children.
