Question
I am 36 years old and have been feeling unwell recently. Sometimes I get dizzy during the day, which affects my work, and I can’t sleep at night. I’ve taken medication but the effect is not significant. I want to ask, do firecracker noises pose a significant stimulus to newborns?
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended not to take the baby out anymore. Firstly, the impact of the sound from firecrackers can be significant or minimal. Secondly, the toxic gases produced by the burning of fireworks are harmful to the baby. Considering the possibility of a cold, symptoms usually include coughing, expectoration, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be increased by 0.5 degrees; a temperature above 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as paracetamol for children, drink plenty of water, keep warm, and if necessary, use intravenous treatment.
