Babies have low immunity and weak disease resistance, so they are very susceptible to illnesses, especially colds and flu, which can be considered the most common diseases. When parents discover symptoms of a cold in their child, they should take timely treatment measures and take good care of them. So, what are the symptoms of a baby catching a cold?
Babies are particularly prone to catching colds, and after the child falls ill, the following symptoms may appear:
1. Runny nose: In the early stages of a baby's cold, there is usually a symptom of runny nose with clear water. If treated in a timely manner, the child can recover quickly.
2. Cough: Usually, during a cold or flu, there are symptoms of coughing, and a hot cold is no exception, which may also be accompanied by excessive phlegm. At this time, children can take some cough suppressants and expectorants. When a child coughs severely or for a prolonged period, it is necessary to seek medical treatment to avoid damaging the lungs.
3. Nasal congestion: During a hot cold, there may be symptoms of nasal congestion, and babies may open their mouths to breathe, which can make them feel restless while sleeping. Parents can use a hot towel to apply heat to their baby's nose, which can help alleviate nasal congestion.
4. Fever: If the cold is severe, symptoms of fever may appear, and it is best to use physical methods to cool down. If the effect is not good, you will need to use medication for drug withdrawal.
