Babies have relatively poor physical resistance and are prone to illness during their growth process, such as catching a cold. Many novice parents are not very familiar with their babies' colds, so they do not know how to take care of them. It is important to understand the symptoms in a timely manner. So, what are the symptoms of a baby's cold?
1. Mild cold: A cold has a latent period, usually 2 to 3 days. If the baby's cold condition is not very serious, the main symptoms will be runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, discomfort in the throat, etc., which require timely treatment. A mild cold usually takes about 4 days to recover, but without timely care, it may cause fever, sore throat, vomiting, and so on. So it is necessary to provide targeted treatment when a cold is detected.
2. Severe cold: If the child's cold is severe, there will be obvious systemic symptoms, mainly including high fever, headache and fatigue, loss of appetite, inflammation of the throat, lack of sleep, etc. At this time, there will be more nasal secretions, which may cause rhinitis, etc. Parents should provide better care for their babies based on their different symptoms.
3. tonsillitis: If a baby's cold is caused by a virus, it may lead to tonsillitis, causing symptoms such as sore throat, abdominal pain, headache, and high fever. Some children may also develop otitis media, sinusitis, lymphadenitis, etc.
