Question
What should I do if my baby has a cold?
Answer
When a baby has a cold, they may develop a fever due to being overly covered. Repeatedly lifting the diaper during changes can also cause discomfort. At this time, the baby may experience nasal congestion while breastfeeding. In such situations, parents can take some measures to help their child, such as adjusting the baby’s blanket thickness, maintaining a moderate indoor temperature, giving the baby plenty of water, and using gentle medication to alleviate symptoms. However, since babies cannot clearly express their feelings, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical assistance when necessary.
