Does a Newborn Baby Need Medicine?

The baby has been crying and fussing lately, and today it has a runny nose. I have been breastfeeding, but for the past two days, I’ve also had a cold, so I gave the baby formula milk because there’s only me at home. I don’t know if I’ve passed it on to the baby. Should I give the child medicine? In terms of children’s medication, I advocate for: 1) Avoid injections if possible; 2) Use traditional Chinese medicine instead of Western medicine; 3) Absolutely do not use any medication that is marked with specific instructions for children. Generally speaking, newborns do not need to take any medication unless there is a problem found during the child’s examination, in which case the doctor may suggest medication. It is recommended that you consult with a doctor in detail and pay close attention to the specific situation of the newborn.
