Question
The baby is 13 months old and has recently been not feeling well. Then I learned that the baby is sick. What should I do? The baby has a severe cough and cannot sleep well due to a cold.
Answer
The baby has caught a cold, with symptoms such as loss of appetite, runny nose, and sometimes fever, but the body temperature does not exceed 38°C. The baby is listless and has a poor appetite. Symptoms disappear after sweating and cooling down. This disease is prevalent throughout the year, especially during large temperature changes. Generally, no special treatment is needed for the baby. It is recommended to give the baby warm water, ginger juice, or scallion water, and try to avoid using cold medicine. Please do not use adult fever-reducing medicine, cough syrup, cough tablets, or overuse antibiotics. Wishing the baby a healthy recovery.
