Patient's question:
The baby is three months old. This morning, I noticed that she has a runny nose, but it's not much, clear like saliva, not sticky. Do I need a special solution? Should I take medicine or something? Breastfeeding. If I can take medicine, can I take it and then feed it to the baby? Thank you for your reply.Doctor's answer:
In this case of the baby, it is still considered to be caused by a cold, and generally, colds are caused by viral infections. The key is to give the baby oral children's cold medicine and offer small amounts of water frequently. The medication is primarily metabolized and decomposed through the baby's own liver, so medication for adults has no effect on the baby. If someone in the family has a cold, it is crucial to isolate the baby more. The main task for adults is to enhance care.
