Patient's question:
Baby is 11 weeks old and has not been in good spirits recently. Then it was found out that the baby is sick. Please ask: How should cold and cough be treated in babies?Doctor's answer:
If the symptoms are mild, they may not require treatment. A common cold usually subsides within about a week. However, children with colds still need to be taken seriously to prevent the risk of pneumonia. Make sure the child drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. If the cough is severe, they can take some lung-cleansing medications, such as children's lung-cleansing syrup or Isatis root. Drink more water, pay attention to staying warm to avoid catching a cold, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest. Do not have any psychological stress and maintain a cheerful mood. During this time, pay attention to getting more rest, and the diet should also remain light to avoid greasy and spicy foods. This is beneficial for both you and the baby in your womb.
