POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. If your baby has been suffering from fever, cold, and cough for the last two days, it's important to focus on keeping them comfortable and managing the symptoms. First, ensure they stay well-hydrated by offering plenty of fluids like water, breast milk, or formula. Keep the room well-ventilated and maintain a comfortable temperature, as overheating can worsen fever. You can use a humidifier or place a bowl of hot water near them to help with congestion, or gently use saline drops to clear their nasal passages.
For fever, you can give age-appropriate fever-reducing medication such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) after consulting with your pediatrician for the correct dosage based on your baby's weight. Avoid giving aspirin or ibuprofen unless directed by a doctor, as they may not be safe for young children in some cases.
Keep monitoring your baby's symptoms, and if the fever lasts more than 3 days, worsens, or is accompanied by signs like difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, or a loss of appetite, seek immediate medical attention. A pediatrician can help determine if the cold and cough are viral or if there is an underlying infection that requires specific treatment.
