What should I do if the baby has a cold and a headache?

Patient's question:

Three-year-old boy, a bit of a cold these last couple of days. The day before the cold, he had a headache, specifically on the left side, above the ear. Over the past few days, he occasionally mentions having headaches, coming and going, then it subsides. I wanted to ask the doctor, thank you.

Doctor's answer:

A cold and headache can be treated for the child. Gently massage the child's head and wait until the cold symptoms subside, which will reduce the headache. If the headache is severe, further examination is needed to check for any issues with the head. Therefore, pay attention to the child's condition later on. Drink plenty of warm water to avoid the head from getting cold again and first take care of the baby's head.
