A member asked:
What are the symptoms of upper respiratory infection and what kinds of drugs can give to baby of 8 month old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No drugs: Symptoms of URI are runny nose, cough, low grade fever, decreased appetite etc. Please do not use any over the counter medicines besides tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin for reducing the fever. Most of the uri's are self limiting and symptomatic treatment with lots of fluids and rest are sufficient. If there is worsening of symptoms please see your pediatrician.
