Patient's question:
Mom had muscle aches in her limbs, a runny nose, and sneezing the day before yesterday. In the afternoon, she had a slight fever. The next morning, she went to the hospital, and the doctor said she had infectious influenza. By the third day, her 3-year-old child also started to have a fever. When they went to the hospital, the doctor said it was also the flu. Can the mom and the child stay together?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. In the situation you mentioned, both the baby and the mom have caught a cold, so there's no need for further isolation. The baby should drink more water and be wished a healthy growth. The mom should also drink more water and avoid spicy, beef, lamb, seafood, and other irritating foods. Medication should be taken to monitor the condition. If there's no improvement, it's important to seek medical attention promptly, allowing the doctor to conduct a specific examination and prescribe medication based on the mom's physical condition.
