Patient's question:
Mom had four limbs sore, 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, the 3-year-old baby also started to have a fever and went to the hospital, where the doctor said it was also the flu. Can the mom and the baby stay together?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. In the situation you mentioned, both the baby and the mother have caught a cold, so there's no need for further isolation. The baby should drink more water, and I wish the baby a healthy growth. The mother should also drink more water and avoid spicy, beef, lamb, seafood, and other irritating foods. Medication should be used to monitor the changes in the condition. If the condition does not improve, it's important to seek medical attention promptly, allowing the doctor to conduct a specific examination and prescribe medication based on the mother's health status.
