Question
The baby had a bit of runny nose two days ago, with a slightly sore throat. I gave her some cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medication. She seemed better yesterday, but this morning I felt like she was coughing occasionally with a bit of phlegm. What’s going on?
Answer
The baby’s condition is still due to respiratory infection symptoms. Since the medication has shown improvement, it’s advisable to continue taking the medication. It’s recommended to drink plenty of water, have a light and easy-to-digest diet, and take the symptomatic anti-inflammatory and cold medications as prescribed. At least three days of stability are needed.
