Patient's question:
I am a 57-year-old woman who recently noticed some issues with her child. After a check-up, it was discovered that she has a disease. Please ask: What medicine should a one-year-old baby take for a cold?Doctor's answer:
The baby has reappeared with symptoms such as a runny nose and fever, which are common in viral infections. It is a self-limiting illness, typically lasting 3 to 5 days. If the symptoms are not severe, it is not advisable to overmedicate, as the child's liver and kidney functions are not fully developed, and their ability to metabolize drugs is limited. When the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, one can consider using cold medicine or fever-reducing medication. Additionally, during treatment, the patient should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and practice good hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
