Question
The baby is 2 months and 2 days old. Recently, every morning when the baby wakes up, there are sniffles, and when burping, mucus is produced. The sniffling subsides after blowing the nose, accompanied by a few coughs, but there is no fever. Is this a normal phenomenon or a cold?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s sniffles might be caused by nasal mucus. It is advisable to keep the baby well-warmed and prevent catching a cold. If the baby has a cough, it is recommended to visit the pediatrician to check whether it is a throat or bronchial issue and then treat accordingly.
