Question
What medicine should I give my baby for a cold?
Answer
This situation is likely a common cold. Children’s conditions can change rapidly, so it’s important to seek medical attention promptly and have a doctor examine and treat your child. Don’t self-medicate; instead, take your baby to the hospital for a specialist to examine and prescribe medication. Self-prescription can delay your baby’s recovery. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children, so if your child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Children need a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
