Can a three-month-old baby with a cold and cough take a medicinal bath?

Patient's question:

My baby is only three months old now, and it might be due to my poor care, or it could be that the baby has a stomachache these past few days. He has been experiencing it repeatedly, and besides the symptoms of a cold, I want to give him a medicinal bath. Can a medicinal bath be used for a baby with a cold and cough?

Doctor's answer:

It's better to avoid bathing the three-month-old baby in a medicinal bath because bathing in a medicinal bath may also cause the baby to catch a cold again. If you want to bathe the baby, it is best to implement the medicinal bath under the guidance of a doctor, as the effect is quite special. It is appropriate to give the baby children's paracetamol and yellow antihistamine oral liquid to implement treatment, and the effect will be better. Pay attention to drinking more water and pay attention to appropriate cold prevention. Wish the patient a speedy recovery!
