Hello,

Relax, no need to over medicate the babies, when they are not suffering. Upper respiratory infections are common in children even without exposure.

Hence let the bomb first blast, and then take any action.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
