Patient's question:
Newborns catching a respiratory infection due to feeling cold, leading to mild nasal congestion and coughing - what could be the situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hello, according to your main complaint, the baby's condition is likely caused by a cold-induced respiratory infection. It is recommended to give the baby more water, gently rub the sides of the nose with your hand, maintain a suitable temperature and humidity in the room, and avoid excessive dryness. The baby's condition might also be due to over-wrapping, leading to internal heat because the child is very young. The nasal cavity is narrow, and fever can cause the respiratory mucosa to expand, resulting in poor nasal ventilation. It is suggested to wait for the fever to subside before observing, and it should not be a major issue.
