Patient's question:
The baby is one month old. Someone at home has a cold. How can I prevent it from spreading to the baby?Doctor's answer:
Colds can be transmitted to babies. Most colds are caused by viral infections and can be spread through the respiratory tract. People with colds should not hold the baby or be in close contact with them. Seek timely treatment for colds. Medications such as Gan Kang and Ribavirin can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, do not overeat, get adequate rest, and avoid staying up late.
