Patient's question:
The baby has had a bad cold and cough these past few days. I don't know if I should give the baby medicine because the baby is only ten months old. Although the illness can be cured, I feel sad if it doesn't get better quickly and leads to other complications. Can a ten-month-old baby with a cold and cough take medicine?Doctor's answer:
If the child experiences a recurrence of a cold or symptoms are severe, conservative medication can still be used for treatment and care. Therefore, it is important to rest more and carefully monitor the situation. This condition can be cured, but the child's weak immunity may lead to slower recovery. Thus, appropriate medication and care based on the actual situation are acceptable. It is best to avoid getting cold and carefully monitor the temperature.
