Question
Hello. I have a premature baby who is now one and a half years old and has suddenly caught a cold. I don’t want to give him medicine, as I’m worried about potential side effects. But what should I do when he has a cold?
Answer
Hello. Although your baby is premature, the fact that he hasn’t had a cold for a year and a half indicates that his health is still good. For an infant with a cold, it’s important to ensure they drink plenty of water, stay warm, and eat light, easily digestible foods. You should feed your baby in small amounts multiple times to avoid food accumulation. You can also take your baby to the hospital for massage therapy to alleviate the symptoms of the cold and boost his immune system.
