    Just drink plenty of plain water and keep warm. Babies who have a cold and have a cough that lasts for a long time are more likely to have upper respiratory allergies. If you don't have a fever, your spirit is good, your appetite is good, and you don't have to treat it as a patient.

    On sunny days, you can take it outside. If you stay for a long time, you can also bathe the baby. It's important to consider that if you leave your baby in the waiting room for too long, you can spread other diseases.
