Question
A two-month-old baby accidentally caught a cold recently, showing symptoms such as a stuffy nose and cough, and severe night sweats. Please guide us, thank you.
Answer
Excessive sweating in young children, especially newborns, is often due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to expose them to more sunlight and to supplement with Vitamin D. There are many factors that can cause respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention not to let their children develop bad habits such as picky eating, and should have a balanced diet.
