Patient's question:
The baby is one month old and often sneezes. Is it a cold if the one-month-old baby sneezes?Doctor's answer:
A baby with a cold may experience some discomfort from a runny nose and sneezing, but the associated nasal congestion can cause sleep disturbances and reduced appetite. In addition to using a warm, damp towel to warm the nose, saline nasal spray can also be used. If the effect is not significant, a nasal spray can be used to relieve nasal swelling. However, nasal sprays containing ephedrine should not be used. For babies with nasal congestion and reduced appetite, feeding them small, frequent meals temporarily can help. Do not use antibiotics for this reason.
