Doctor's answer:
The immune system of infants is relatively low, making them susceptible to infections from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Moreover, recovery after infection tends to be slow.Recommendation: To prevent delays in treatment, it is advisable to visit the pediatric department of a hospital. Additionally, pay close attention to the infant's warmth and hygiene. Ensure they drink plenty of water.
