Patient's question:
The baby had a bit of a runny nose and tears yesterday. I borrowed the polio vaccine for the baby. Can the baby take the following medications? The baby is 2 months and 19 days old, weighing 13 pounds.Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned for the baby, it is considered acute upper respiratory tract infection, which is commonly known as catching a cold due to cold exposure. In this case, routine vaccination is generally not recommended to prevent fever symptoms or alleviate cold symptoms. Currently, oral medications can be taken for symptomatic treatment, and it is important to closely monitor the baby for 2 to 3 days. If the symptoms do not improve significantly, it is advisable to seek medical consultation at the hospital promptly.
