Question
Lately, my child has been suffering from a cold with tears, and I’m worried this might affect their health. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
If a newborn exhibits symptoms of a cold accompanied by tears, it is usually due to catching a chill. In such cases, you can give the child appropriate pediatric cold medicine for relief. Additionally, parents should pay attention to their child’s personal hygiene, particularly facial cleanliness, to prevent infections. At the same time, it’s important to ensure the child’s nutritional intake, appropriately increasing vitamins and protein supplements to boost the child’s immunity. If symptoms worsen, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for professional examination and treatment.
