Question
The baby is 42 days old and has a stuffy nose, sore throat, and phlegm with occasional coughing. The body temperature is 37.6 degrees. We are worried about the condition worsening when going out in cold weather, and the baby cries at night. We are seeking medication treatment advice.
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the child may have a throat infection caused by a cold, and it is recommended to use antibiotics for treatment under a doctor’s guidance and to continue observing the condition. Generally, infants with fever can be treated with physical cooling methods without immediate use of fever-reducing medication. Provide the baby with plenty of water and avoid over-warming. During treatment, pay attention to changes in the condition and adjust the treatment plan under a doctor’s guidance.
