What are the symptoms of a newborn with a cold?

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of a newborn with a cold? Around 50 days old

Doctor's answer:

Each baby's cold symptoms can vary in severity. Generally, for babies under 6 months old, even if they catch a cold, the symptoms are usually not severe, and their temperature rarely exceeds 38.5℃. The main symptoms are a runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing. Older infants show more significant systemic symptoms, with a rapid onset, and are prone to high fever, coughing, and reduced milk intake. If the temperature is too high, it may lead to febrile seizures, so it's important to monitor and control the temperature.
