How to treat a baby when they first catch a cold

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me how to treat a cold in its early stages for babies?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has developed a stuffy nose and mild cough, and has been in contact with a coughing and phlegm-producing patient. There is a high possibility that the baby has been infected with a cold, as the baby is very young. It is recommended to seek treatment as soon as possible rather than letting the baby endure it on their own, as this could easily worsen the condition. If possible, it is best to visit the hospital for a check-up. Alternatively, oral administration of Nalpimex or Aichang can be considered, as both are cold medications with relatively minor side effects. Drinking plenty of water is also recommended.
