Patient's question:
My baby is only three and a half months old. Recently, she has been constantly running a nose and coughing. What should I do about my baby's runny nose and cough?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the weather has been changing frequently recently. A three-month-old baby has a weaker immune system and is prone to catching colds. Based on the medical history you provided, it is highly likely that the child has an upper respiratory infection.Advice:
1. Drink more water and give some children's cold medicine granules or children's cough syrup. If the symptoms are severe, with fever, you can add some anti-inflammatory medication.
2. Pay attention to the child's condition. If the symptoms worsen, take them to the hospital for a blood test and chest X-ray to prevent the possibility of pneumonia.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
