A member asked:
Should i let the sick grandma (flu or cold) to take care of a 3 month old boy? can she live in the same house?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: Neither illness is good for baby. Flu can be deadly and colds can be RSV which can lead to critical respiratory illness at 3 months. Grandma needs to get well before she comes near baby.
