Question
The baby was born a few days ago, but recently it has been scratching its ears without knowing why. What could be the reason for the baby’s hands and feet feeling hot and having a runny nose?
Answer
The possibility of an upper respiratory infection is quite likely. After an upper respiratory infection, symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, and fever can occur. If the body temperature is not too high, oral medication can be taken. However, if the body temperature is high, intravenous treatment is recommended. The baby’s symptoms are those caused by a cold, including a runny nose. Treatment can include taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Cefradine, antihistamines, and vitamin C.
