Introduction
Symptoms of a one-month-old baby catching a chill vary depending on the severity. In mild cases, symptoms are generally characterized by lethargy, sneezing, and slight nasal congestion. In more severe cases, the baby may produce abundant clear nasal discharge, cough frequently, and develop a low-grade fever. In serious cases, the chill may lead to difficulty breathing, intense coughing, or even high fever.
The symptoms of a one-month-old baby catching a chill vary depending on the severity. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Mild
If the exposure to cold is mild, symptoms are generally few and slight, mainly including lethargy, sneezing, and mild nasal congestion.
2. Moderate
When inadequate warmth leads to more severe chilling in a newborn, increased clear nasal discharge and frequent coughing may occur. Some infants with weaker immunity might also develop a low-grade fever.
3. Severe
In cases of severe chilling, significant nasal congestion may develop, causing breathing difficulties. This condition is usually accompanied by intense coughing and even high fever.
Infants, especially those who have been born recently, have weak disease resistance. Once discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and receive appropriate treatment under a doctor's guidance.
