What should I do if the baby has a cold, cough, runny nose, and diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My baby has always been taken care of by my mother-in-law. Now she has high blood sugar and needs to be hospitalized for a week, so I brought the child back. Unexpectedly, after just two days of taking care of him, he started feeling unwell. I am very worried and don't know how to solve the problem. What should I do if my 5-month-old baby has a cold, cough, runny nose, and diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has a cold with a runny nose and diarrhea, which is generally closely related to viral infection. It is recommended to check blood routine and stool routine tests. Based on the detailed examination results, symptomatic medication should be administered for treatment. During this period, it is important to prevent cold and avoid catching a cold, drink more water, and increase food intake. The child's symptoms should gradually recover. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
