Question
Can Mom and Baby stay together if they both have the flu?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to assist you. Based on the information you provided, Mom experienced limb ache, runny nose, and sneezing the other day, with a slight fever in the afternoon. The next morning, she went to the hospital where the doctor diagnosed her with infectious influenza. On the third day, the 3-year-old baby also started to have a fever, and the doctor at the hospital also said it was influenza. In this situation, both Mom and Baby have been infected and there is no need for further isolation measures. It is recommended to let the baby drink plenty of water, maintain good dietary habits, especially avoiding spicy foods, beef, mutton, seafood, and other irritant foods. At the same time, observe changes in the condition. If there is no improvement in the condition, seek medical attention promptly and allow the doctor to conduct specific examinations and prescribe medication based on your own physical condition. Wishing the baby healthy growth and Mom a speedy recovery.
