Patient's question:
The baby is used to drinking milk before taking a nap every day. Today, he has a slight cold, so I gave him cold medicine. After taking the medicine, he felt very sleepy and kept wanting to take a nap. But I didn't dare to give him milk right after he took the medicine. How long should I wait before feeding the baby milk after he takes cold medicine?Doctor's answer:
You can change the baby's diaper immediately after taking the cold medicine. If the taste of the medicine is bitter and the baby has difficulty taking it, you can mix the medicine with milk and give it to the baby to drink. This way, the baby can take the medicine. During the process of taking the medicine, pay close attention to whether the baby's condition worsens or improves. If it improves, continue with the original medication. If the baby's symptoms worsen and they are not feeling well, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further treatment.
