Patient's question:
One day, because the weather suddenly turned cold, I didn't dress my baby in clothes in time, which led to my baby catching a cold. Now my baby is coughing a bit, and the cough is quite severe. Since my baby is very young, I'm quite worried. I think it's best to consult a doctor now. I want to ask what to do if a one-year-old baby catches a cold and coughs.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of children's colds is primarily based on symptomatic relief. Children in this age group have weaker liver and kidney metabolic decomposition capabilities. To prevent potential damage to liver and kidney function, it is advisable to choose children-specific medications, such as antiviral oral liquid, children's acetaminophen, and children's lung-purifying syrup. When cough symptoms reoccur after hand, foot, and mouth disease, symptomatic relief is usually sufficient, but preventive measures should be taken to avoid the recurrence of bronchopneumonia caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease.
