How should the coordination be...
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has an upper respiratory infection. Generally, as long as you pay attention to prevent complications, the course of the illness will resolve on its own within 5-7 days. You can give the child many antiviral granules, along with traditional Chinese medicine such as Bao Fei Ning (blood-cooling formula), and also add some vitamin C. If the inflammatory response is severe, you can appropriately add prednisone. If breastfeeding, the mother should eat more light, vitamin-rich foods.Care instructions:
1. Properly ventilate the room to prevent dust from spreading and avoid large temperature differences between indoors and outdoors, as overly high or low indoor temperatures should be avoided.
2. Dress the child appropriately and monitor their needs, such as feeding, urination, and defecation, to prevent prolonged crying, sweating, and catching a cold.
3. Parents should be attentive, change diapers promptly, and try to breastfeed as much as possible.
4. Pay attention to hygiene when preparing food, especially avoiding tasting the formula with your mouth or checking the temperature of the nipple.
5. Adults, including the patient and those who have not caught a cold, should not get close to or face the child to reduce the risk of infection.
