Question

Can a 10-month-old baby be given medicine for a cold and cough?

Answer

If the child experiences a recurrence of cold symptoms or the condition becomes more severe, conservative medication can be used for management and treatment. At this time, it is important to ensure adequate rest and observation. Although this situation can be cured, due to the child’s weaker resistance, recovery may be slower. Therefore, appropriate medication can be administered based on the actual situation for management, and efforts should be made to avoid catching a cold, monitoring temperature changes.
