Question
What symptoms does a four-month-old baby typically have when they catch a cold?
Answer
The common cold is transmitted through respiratory routes, and if someone in the household has a cold, the risk of infection for the baby is high. When a baby has a cold, common symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, tears, and mild coughing. During this time, it’s crucial to monitor the baby’s temperature and ensure that the air in the home is well-circulated. Family members with a cold should avoid close contact with the baby.
