How should infant colds be treated?

Patient's question:

How should a two-month-old infant's cold be treated?

Doctor's answer:

A 2-month-old child has developed a cold again. Medication should be determined based on the child's symptoms. If the symptoms are mild, such as nasal congestion and runny nose, medication may not be necessary. Proper hydration with warm water, keeping warm, and using a warm towel to apply cold compresses to the nose can usually alleviate the symptoms. If the symptoms are more severe or the runny nose is particularly bad, it is recommended to go to the pediatric department of a hospital. The doctor can prescribe medication based on a thorough examination to treat the condition.
