Question
What should I do if a 42-day-old baby has symptoms of nasal congestion and cough?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s nasal congestion and cough may indicate a cold. Blood tests suggest a possible viral infection, and appropriate pediatric antiviral medication and pain relievers can be administered. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication is not necessary. Follow the doctor’s advice, observe the baby’s symptoms for changes, and regularly measure the body temperature.
