Patient's question:
My baby has been born for three months, and he is very healthy. But recently, it seems like he has a cold. I want to give him medicine, but I'm afraid he's too young and has a low immunity. If I don't give him medicine, what if it gets worse, and it becomes more troublesome? So, I want to ask how to handle a three-month-old baby with a cold?Doctor's answer:
Although the baby is only three months old, if symptoms of a cold reappear, medication must be administered to treat the baby. At such a young age, the baby's immune system is relatively weak, and any external disturbances can easily lead to infection. Moreover, the baby tends to develop illnesses rapidly. If a mild cold is not promptly controlled, it can easily progress to tracheitis or bronchopneumonia.
