Children have lower resistance, so they are more prone to various diseases than adults, and colds are one of the most common diseases in children. After children catch a cold, they will experience more obvious symptoms such as coughing, nasal congestion, and runny nose. So, what should I do if a child has a cold and a yellow nose?
If a child has a cold and a yellow nose, it is usually caused by a bacterial infection, and antibiotics can be used to treat it. However, parents should be careful not to blindly use antibiotics for their children. They should seek medical advice and strictly follow the doctor's instructions when taking medication.
Parents can also give their children some children's cold medicine to relieve the symptoms of a cold when they notice that their child has a yellow runny nose. There are many types of cold medicines available now, and parents need to choose the one that is suitable for their children. And before administering medication to children, it is necessary to carefully read the instructions.
If a child has a cold, runny nose, and fever symptoms, some fever reducing measures should be taken, such as using antipyretic patches and cold compresses on the forehead, which have good antipyretic effects. When the fever is severe, such as when the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, antipyretic medication must be taken. And when necessary, the child should be sent to the hospital for treatment to prevent febrile seizures caused by persistent high fever.
