If a baby who is not yet one month old catches a cold, it is a big blow to young babies. Parents are unwilling to act rashly because many medicines cannot be taken by young babies. However, parents want to use some methods to help their babies recover as soon as possible. So, what should a baby who is not one month old do if they catch a cold?
A baby who is not yet one month old has a cold and needs to go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner, because the baby cannot be easily given medication and needs professional doctor guidance. If the baby has symptoms such as fever, parents can use physical cooling methods to help the baby. However, when choosing cooling methods, the special characteristics of one month old babies need to be considered. It is important to avoid using ice packs that are too cold or alcohol with a high alcohol concentration to cool the baby.
Babies who catch a cold may also experience nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, and serious symptoms such as spitting and choking on milk. However, parents should ensure that their babies consume sufficient amounts of milk. If the baby has difficulty drinking milk, they can use a spoon to feed the milk to them.
If a baby experiences nasal congestion and difficulty breathing, it is important to promptly help clean the secretions from their nose. Disinfectant wipes or cotton swabs can be used to assist with cleaning, and gentle pressure techniques should be used to minimize skin ulcers and other issues under the baby's nose. During treatment, it is also possible to give children plenty of water to help eliminate the virus.
