Question
How should I handle cough in a baby after fever?
Answer
Black stools in babies after taking cold medicine can be a normal side effect of the medication. If there is intestinal bleeding, the stool color will appear tar-like. Therefore, this situation should improve after discontinuing the cold medicine. It is important to ensure the baby is well-hydrated and to provide light, easy-to-digest foods. If the baby has a cough, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given to clear the lungs and cool the blood. If the condition worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.
