Question
My seven-month-old baby has symptoms of a runny nose, cough, and sneezing, with normal body temperature and feeding, but has reduced spirits. Do I need to give the baby medicine, and is it good for the baby to take some colostrum?
Answer
Your baby’s condition may be caused by a cold-related upper respiratory infection. Firstly, pay attention to keeping the baby warm and give them more water to help improve the condition. It is still recommended to give the baby medication for treatment, such as cefaclor granules for oral administration. You can also combine this with paracetamol and chlorphenamine hydrochloride granules for children and snake gall tangerine peel powder. Seven-month-old babies can take colostrum; after ten months, it is recommended to base the diet on solid food with milk as a supplement so that all kinds of nutrients can meet the baby’s growth and development needs.
