Question
Can a one-year-old baby take medicine when sneezing, running a nose, and having a fever?
Answer
A cold should be taken very seriously (and certainly not self-medicate blindly)! For the safety and health of the baby, it is important to have a qualified pediatrician at a private children’s hospital for standardized and safe treatment. Guidelines: 1. Babies’ immune systems are often not fully developed, and children are prone to other diseases when they have a cold (or are sick). I believe that any illness in children or infants should be treated with the utmost importance! No matter what the illness, the child should be taken to a children’s hospital immediately, and there should be no delay to avoid further complications!!!!!! 2. Caution: It is currently the season for H1N1 flu, and when visiting places with high transmission risks like hospitals, it is essential to wear masks. Standard dust masks should be chosen; thin ordinary masks can only ensure that the disease does not spread to others, but cannot ensure that you will not be infected with H1N1 during the journey to the hospital or during follow-up visits. This cannot be taken lightly! 3. I suggest you go to a public hospital as early as possible for a check-up. This can prevent any delay in treatment! Large hospitals offer some basic guarantees, and delays can interfere with the child’s health.
