Question
How to take care of a five-month-old baby with cold symptoms?
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, it is recommended to actively treat the condition and provide proper home care. During the baby’s cold, ensure they get ample rest and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication. Since most colds are caused by viruses, antibiotic treatment is ineffective and may even lead to imbalances in the microbiome, worsening the condition. In terms of diet, provide fluids or easily digestible foods according to the child’s appetite and digestion capacity. Keep the living environment quiet, well-ventilated, with appropriate temperature and humidity to help the baby recover sooner.
