Question
Lately, my child has been crying and fussing a lot, but no issues were found upon examination. What treatment methods are available for a baby’s early cold?
Answer
If your baby has symptoms of a stuffy nose and a slight cough and has been in contact with someone who was coughing or had phlegm, they may have caught a cold. Since babies are still young, it’s advisable to start treatment as soon as possible rather than letting them recover on their own to prevent the symptoms from worsening. If possible, take your baby to see a doctor. Alternatively, you can give your baby over-the-counter cold medications with minimal side effects, such as Narlin or Aicand, and ensure they drink plenty of water.
