Question
My baby is just 3 months old, and recently she has a cold with nasal congestion and phlegm, making it uncomfortable for her to breathe. What should I do?
Answer
If the situation is not severe, with just a runny nose and mild cough, consider using the Shenmiao series or Little Sunflower brand cold medicine. When the baby has a fever but it is not severe, you can apply fever-reducing patches to the forehead, or use physical cooling methods such as massaging the palms, soles of the feet, and armpits. Try to avoid bringing the baby to the hospital for a consultation, as this may delay the treatment time. It is not recommended to administer injections or IV fluids to very young infants at home. Treatments should be prioritized at home using these methods.
