Question
My baby is three months old and started sneezing last night, with a stuffy nose and coughing. There is no fever, appetite is poor, and the baby’s spirit is okay. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Hello, based on the description you provided, your baby seems to have a mild cold and there is no need for intravenous treatment. You can use children’s cold syrup to alleviate the symptoms. At the same time, maintain your baby’s regular diet, feed more milk and water, which will help the baby recover. Babies typically recover quickly from a cold and immediate medical attention is not necessary. If the situation worsens or does not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Intravenous treatment is not the first choice for babies as it can cause irritation and damage to the blood vessels.
