A. If your one-month-old baby has fever, vomiting, and cough, please take extra caution because newborns are delicate. Here’s what you can do: 1. Immediate Steps at Home ✔ Check Fever: If temperature is above 100.4°F (38°C), consult a doctor immediately. ✔ Keep Baby Hydrated: Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding frequently. ✔ Hold Baby Upright After Feeding: This helps reduce vomiting caused by cough. ✔ Saline Drops for Nose Block: If baby has congestion, use saline nasal drops. ✔ Steam Inhalation (Only Indirect): Sit with baby in a steamy bathroom for 5-10 mins (do not place baby directly near steam). 2. When to Visit the Doctor? (Important Signs) ⚠ Fever above 100.4°F (urgent for newborns!) ⚠ Vomiting repeatedly (more than 2-3 times). ⚠ Baby not feeding well or refusing milk. ⚠ Breathing difficulty, fast breathing, or chest pulling in while breathing. ⚠ Baby is drowsy, inactive, or very irritable. 3. Do Not Give Any Medicine Without a Doctor’s Advice Newborns should not be given fever or cough medicines without a pediatrician's prescription. Since your baby is just one month old, I highly recommend you see a doctor immediately because fever and vomiting can indicate infections that need quick treatment.
