Question
How should you handle and care for a baby when they have a cold?
Answer
When a baby has a cold, the first step is to ensure they get plenty of rest and hydration. If the baby’s temperature is between 37.5~38.5℃, medication may not be necessary; simply focus on rest and fluid intake. For babies with a history of high fever seizures, if the temperature reaches 38℃, you can use fever-reducing and calming medications. If the temperature exceeds 39.5℃, measures should be taken to cool down the baby, such as loosening their clothing, using a warm bath or wet towels for wiping, or administering medications like Tylenol, Tylenol, and acetaminophen.
