Question
I’ve noticed that my baby’s nose is a bit stuffy and seems to have phlegm when they’re sleeping. What could be the issue? What should I do? I haven’t treated it yet, what should I do?
Answer
If a baby has a mild cold, they often experience slight fever, general symptoms, and respiratory symptoms, with the illness typically resolving within 1 to 2 days. There’s no need to worry too much. Pay close attention to the baby’s temperature and overall well-being. The duration of the cold from 2 to 5 days is considered normal. It’s recommended to visit the hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions strictly, taking medication as prescribed. In the meantime, ensure the baby drinks plenty of plain water, Vitamin C juice, and consume light and easily digestible foods. Pay attention to their warmth and comfort.
