Question
My baby is two months old today. When awake, the baby’s breathing is very heavy with snoring, and occasionally there is a slight cough. The baby’s spirits are good. Is this situation caused by a cold?
Answer
The baby’s heavy breathing and rapid breathing cannot be ruled out as being caused by a fever or cold. It is recommended to first measure the baby’s body temperature. If the baby’s body temperature is above 37.3 degrees Celsius, it indicates a fever, and antipyretic medication should be used. Additionally, it is suggested to take a suitable dose of children’s ambroxol syrup, ribavirin granules, and Lanqin oral liquid for treatment. This is the response to your question, hoping it will be helpful.
