Question
A parent seeks advice on how to deal with a 3-month-old baby’s cold and cough issue.
Answer
When a 3-month-old baby exhibits symptoms of a cold, such as fever, cough, nasal congestion, sneezing, or runny nose, these are typically caused by viral infections. It is advised for parents to ensure the baby is well-warmed in daily life, avoid exposure to cold, and adjust clothing as needed. If the symptoms are mild, the baby may recover on their own. However, if the symptoms are more severe, consider giving the baby antiviral oral liquid for treatment. The above suggestions are meant to provide assistance, but specific treatment should follow the doctor’s guidance.
