Question
I am a 69-year-old woman taking care of my child and have noticed that the child is feeling unwell. What should I do if my baby has a cold?
Answer
If your baby is experiencing another bout of cold, it is generally best to administer various treatment medications unless the fever has not dropped below 38.5 degrees Celsius. In such cases, you can opt for physical cooling methods or use fever-reducing patches. However, if the baby’s fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication should be used. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, regular work and rest (work and rest refers to daily routine), adjust physical and mental health, pay attention to maintaining a good mood, eat light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
