Why Is My Baby Coughing and stuffy-nosed but Still in Good Spirits?

Question

My baby is 52 days old and has been a bit coughing and has a stuffy nose recently, but he is still in good spirits and the milk intake is normal. What should I do?

Answer

Upper respiratory infections are common in infants. Based on your description, your baby at 52 days old has developed coughing and a stuffy nose, but remains in good spirits and maintains normal milk consumption. This could be due to catching a cold. It is recommended that you pay attention to keeping your baby warm in daily life and encourage them to drink more water to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, you can consider giving your baby some suitable infant cold medication, such as pediatric paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules, to help your baby recover faster.
