Asking for Self, Male, 8 years old, LAHORE
My 8 months old son is having light cough and flu since morning.. Which syrup or medi i should give?
Check fever,
Dress him in light clothing and keep his room cool. Give him formula acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) to relieve muscle aches, a headache, fever, and sore throat. Do not give aspirin because of the danger of Reye's syndrome. Do not give a child 6 months of age or younger ibuprofen..
some important tips
Run a hot shower and let some the steam accumulate in the bathroom. Sit your baby in the steam for 10 to 15 minutes. The steam will loosen the mucus and will relieve the baby from congestion. Make sure your baby is adequately hydrated before and after the steam room treatment as he will lose a lot of fluids.
