Patient's question:
My baby is three months old. Last night, my partner and I took her out for a walk while holding her. Because the air conditioner in the car was quite warm at the time, we took off many of her clothes and put them on her again after getting into the car. This morning, I noticed that she has a runny nose and seems to have caught a cold with persistent coughing. I would like to ask what I should do for a three-month-old baby who has a cold and cough.Doctor's answer:
A three-month-old baby has caught a cold due to cold exposure. In this case, it is recommended that you give the child oral medicine such as Feng Han Gan Ma Granules and lung-cleaning medication. You can also apply a cold relief patch or a lung-cleaning patch on the child. If the condition worsens, you can consider steam inhalation treatment. It is important to drink more boiled water for the child and use a warm towel to wipe their hands and feet. Pay attention to hygiene and give the child a bath every day. Be cautious of cold exposure and dress the child in warmer clothes to prevent catching a cold.
