A member asked:
What are the causes of pneumonia to the babies, how to prevent this, and what are the medications to treat pneumonia for babies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually Viral: If you have a normal child birth - full term with no complications and all vaccines - then cough and runny nose symptoms are most likely associated with a virus and you can use tylenol (acetaminophen) for fever and nose suction. If the baby is less than 1 month old and has a fever, you need to go to an emergency department.
