Question
Mom felt achy in her limbs, had a runny nose, and sneezed the day before. She had a slight fever in the afternoon. The next morning, she went to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed her with infectious flu. On the third day, the 3-year-old baby also started to have a fever, and when taken to the hospital, the doctor said it was also flu. Can Mom and Baby stay together?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to assist you. In this situation, both Mom and Baby have contracted the flu, so there is no need for further isolation. It is recommended to give the baby plenty of water, and wish for the baby’s healthy growth. For Mom’s symptoms, it is also important to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy foods, beef, mutton, seafood, and other stimulating food. At the same time, observe any changes in the condition and use medication as needed. If the condition does not improve, please seek medical attention promptly, allowing the doctor to conduct specific examinations and medication recommendations based on your own physical condition.
