Patient's question:
The weather is getting cold, and the baby has been having a runny nose these past few days. It's not too serious. He's four months old, and I usually give him warm water to drink. What medicine is suitable for him? He's breastfed, and I also have a cold, coughing, and a scratchy throat. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the possibility of the mother getting infected by the baby's cold is high. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. At the hospital, have a thorough check-up of blood routine and C-reactive protein to determine the type of infection based on the results—whether it is a bacterial infection or a viral infection—so that targeted treatment can be administered. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has a runny nose these days in cold weather?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
