Question
My baby, who is 10 weeks old, suddenly fell ill and seems uncomfortable. How should I treat a baby’s cold with runny nose and cough quickly?
Answer
The baby has caught a cold. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, use a cotton swab to clean the nasal cavity, and elevate the shoulders for naps. You can also give the baby Ai Chang medicine. With the hot weather lately, it’s also common for babies to sweat more after a cold. It’s also beneficial to expose them to sunlight. If there isn’t much sunlight, avoid any mental stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and make sure to rest well during this period. Additionally, maintain a healthy diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This is beneficial for both the baby and the fetus in the womb.
