Patient's question:
A three-month-old baby and the mother both have a cold. The baby was taken to the hospital, where it was diagnosed with tracheitis and dry cough. The baby frequently feels nauseous and spits up milk. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
During the special period of breastfeeding, many medications are not advisable to use, as they can easily have serious adverse effects on the child who is nursing. Therefore, it is not recommended to self-medicate for a cold. The most appropriate course of action is to seek medical attention at a local, reputable hospital's gynecology department as soon as possible. Under the doctor's direct guidance, undergo examinations and treatment. This approach is safer. If the condition is not severe, the mother can avoid medication, drink more water, and get adequate rest.
