Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How can I deal with a two-month-old baby's cough and cold?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, a two-month-old infant with a cold and cough, who has phlegm, should seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. This is because a two-month-old child has a weak immune system, and their condition can change rapidly.It is recommended to maintain a calm mood and drink plenty of water, while avoiding spicy foods. The simplest, most effective, and safest method to reduce fever is the physical cooling method of applying 25%-50% alcohol for a bath. Alternatively, cold compresses can be used: place a damp cold towel on the forehead, hands, and calves, covering other parts with clothing. You can also let the patient take a bath in lukewarm water.
