Question

My baby is three months old and often has a runny nose and cough. What should I do?

Answer

Hello, with the changeable weather lately, infants have weak resistance and are prone to catching colds. Based on the symptoms, it may be an upper respiratory infection. Suggestions:

  1. Ensure your baby drinks plenty of water and give appropriate cold medicine and cough syrup. If symptoms are severe, with fever or other signs, consider using symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication.
  2. Pay close attention to the condition. If symptoms worsen, it is necessary to go to the hospital for blood tests and a chest X-ray to rule out the possibility of pneumonia. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
