Question

My baby is 13 weeks old and suddenly fell ill, feeling uncomfortable. How should I treat a baby’s cold with a runny nose?

Answer

Your baby may be suffering from a cold or catching a chill. Firstly, ensure your baby drinks plenty of fluids and take medication under the guidance of a clinical doctor. If the situation is severe, timely medical consultation can prevent pediatric pneumonia and respiratory tract infections. It’s recommended to undergo blood tests and chest X-rays when respiratory infections occur. Maintain a cheerful mood, get adequate rest, and eat a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which are beneficial for both the baby and you.
