Question
How to handle a baby’s cold and cough?
Answer
If there is a phlegmy sound in the throat, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a lung examination. Since infants’ cardiovascular development is incomplete, the condition may worsen. Providing plenty of fluids helps dissolve phlegm, making it easier to expel. When patting the back during coughing, observe the baby’s breathing and mental state carefully. Parents should treat their child’s illness as soon as possible, ensuring a balanced diet for the baby and avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
