Patient's question:
My baby just got a cold at one month old. He has a stuffy nose, sneezes, and a little cough. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for infant colds is primarily symptomatic and supportive. At this age, children have weaker liver and kidney metabolic capabilities, so medications should preferably be chosen from pediatric-specific formulations to prevent potential harm to their liver and kidney functions, such as antiviral oral liquids. Based on the current symptoms, medication can be administered, and drinking water is not very effective. Additionally, it is important to maintain warmth, avoid exposure to cold or irritation, and frequently monitor body temperature.
