Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I have a lively and lovable son, and the whole family adores him. My child has a cold, and I believe we should take him to the hospital for treatment. However, the child's grandparents don't want to send him, saying that drinking plenty of hot water is enough. How can I relieve a child's cold in the early stages?Doctor's answer:
Usually, in the early stage of a baby's cold, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nasal congestion, runny nose, and cough may reappear. It is essential to actively adopt treatment measures. Since babies have weaker immunity, if the cold is not treated promptly, it is very easy for them to develop bronchitis or bronchopneumonia. At that point, treatment will become more troublesome, and the course of the illness will also be longer. You must take your baby to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
