Question

A 10-month-old baby is experiencing symptoms of a runny nose and coughing, which have been ongoing for two days. What medication should be administered?

Answer

This condition may be due to a common cold caused by catching a cold, characterized by nasal congestion and a runny nose. It is recommended to give the baby oral cold medication for treatment and to enhance care to ensure the baby does not catch a cold. Treatment should last for 3 to 4 days, while closely monitoring the baby’s condition changes. If the baby shows any discomfort, medical attention should be sought immediately to avoid the worsening of the condition.
