Babies have poor physical resistance and are easily affected by external environmental factors, which can lead to diseases such as colds. The severity of a baby's cold varies from person to person, some may be mild and some may be severe. If a baby's cold is severe, they need to take medication under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. However, how many days does it take to take medication for a baby's cold?
The number of days a baby needs to take medication for a cold depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, a baby usually takes medication for three days. If there is no improvement after three days, they need to take a few more days. At the same time, parents should try to give their babies as much rest as possible when taking care of them, avoid overworking them, and let them drink more water to help them eliminate toxins from their bodies.
If a baby's cold is mild, it can be relieved through some physical methods, such as giving the baby a warm bath, wiping the body, etc. If the baby is older, they can also drink fruit juice containing vitamin C, which can not only enhance metabolism in the body, but also strengthen the body's resistance.
Babies who catch a cold do not necessarily need to be treated through medication. Cold medicine has a certain degree of irritation, and parents should pay attention to whether the baby experiences symptoms such as nausea and vomiting after taking cold medicine. They should also observe the baby's mental state and whether their stool is abnormal.
