Question
A 3-month-old baby has developed a cold with symptoms including cough, throat mucus, sneezing, and diarrhea up to 5 to 6 times a day, which have been ongoing for 2 days. What should the parents do?
Answer
Doctors recommend that if the child’s symptoms are mild, it is best to observe and not rush into medication. If medication is needed, “Children’s Paracetamol Yellow Sodium Granules” can be used to treat the cold. For severe diarrhea, “Simethicone” can be taken. Make sure to give the baby plenty of water and keep them well-warmed.
