Question
I am a 67-year-old woman taking care of my child and have noticed that the child is feeling unwell. What should I do if a 50-day-old baby has a cold?
Answer
Since your baby is still quite young, it can be challenging to control the dosage of medication. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination and then follow the doctor’s guidance for appropriate medication treatment. In the meantime, pay attention to keeping your child warm, give them plenty of water to drink during the illness, and regularly measure their body temperature to prevent fever. Additionally, the patient should maintain a balanced diet, have a regular lifestyle, adjust mental and physical health, stay positive in life, and eat more light, soft foods. Also, drink plenty of water and consume more vegetables and fruits.
