Question
My baby has had a cold for almost a month. The symptoms have improved after taking medicine, but they start to recur after stopping the medication. What should I do if my baby has a cold with runny nose and nasal congestion?
Answer
When a baby has a cold, you can use specialized pediatric cold medicine or symptomatic medication, ensuring to use it according to the instructions. At the same time, make sure the baby drinks plenty of water, closely monitor the baby’s body temperature changes, and provide fever-reducing medication in a timely manner. Allow the baby to rest, avoid catching a chill, and these are common methods for treating colds. In addition, it’s important to maintain a balanced diet, engage in moderate aerobic exercise to strengthen the body, and maintain a positive mood to enhance immunity and speed up recovery.
