Question
Why do babies get a cold and fever?
Answer
Babies can develop a cold and fever due to viral infections, such as common cold viruses, influenza viruses, or other pathogens. In some cases, it can also be caused by bacterial infections, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae or Streptococcus pyogenes. Additionally, allergic reactions, environmental factors (such as second-hand smoke), or immune system issues may also lead to a baby having a cold and fever. If you are concerned about your baby’s health, it is advisable to seek medical attention early to receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
