Question
A 6-year-old boy has been constantly coughing recently and his bowel movements are not good. How should one handle frequent colds in a six-month-old baby?
Answer
The recovery process for diseases in six-month-old infants is usually slow, requiring patience and a sustained period of treatment. The change in the condition of mucus does not necessarily reflect the severity of the disease. The key is whether the treatment is symptomatic and the correct use of medication is crucial for the impact of treatment. In addition to judging the condition from the mucus, one should also infer the disease status from the baby’s overall mental state.
