Question
The baby is 6 months old and has a cold with coughing, some fever in the morning and evening, and coughing is more severe at night. It’s almost two weeks now, and the baby has taken cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cough syrup, but the effect is not obvious. What should a mother do when her baby gets a cold during postpartum?
Answer
During the baby’s cold, the mother can drink red date and goji berry soup and make sure to give the baby plenty of water. If the condition is severe, give the baby pediatric cold medicine promptly and pat the baby’s back after feeding. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, so patients should go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible for targeted treatment. In addition, it’s important to maintain a regular routine, stay warm, drink more hot water, and develop a ventilation habit in daily life.
