Patient's question:
A newborn baby who has been with us for a week often hiccups. Suddenly yesterday, he sneezed violently and even vomited some milk. Could he have caught a cold? Should we take him to the hospital to see a doctor? His bowel movements and urination are normal, and he is also feeding normally on formula.Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition falls under the category of upper respiratory tract infection, primarily caused by bacterial or viral infections. Exposure to cold is also a contributing factor. Currently, it is necessary to prevent cold and keep warm, avoid blowing wind directly to prevent further cooling and alleviate the condition. It is recommended to take pediatric paracetamol and pseudoephedrine granules or wind-cold cold medicine for treatment.This advice is for the question "A newborn baby who has just been born for a week."
