One year old babies have low physical resistance, and catching a cold is a common situation. For parents, the health of their baby is a top priority. In fact, a cold is just a relatively mild illness, but if not taken care of properly, it can also have a negative impact on the healthy growth of the baby. So, what should we do if a one year old baby has a cold?
The common symptoms of a cold are fever, cough, and runny nose. Treat according to the different symptoms exhibited by the baby to help them safely get through the cold period. Regarding the developmental status of a one year old baby, if the symptoms of a cold are not severe, physical therapy or dietary therapy should be used as much as possible. However, if the situation is severe, such as fever, cough, etc., medication is necessary, and the baby needs to choose the appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
A one year old baby may have a cold accompanied by runny nose. You can use a cotton swab or gauze dipped in warm water to help the baby clean. It is not advisable to vigorously wipe the nose to avoid damaging the baby's delicate skin. When sleeping, you can help babies raise their heads slightly to help them breathe smoothly and fall asleep better.
The common cold is usually a self-healing disease, but some viral colds can also have a dangerous onset. Parents should pay attention to their baby's condition at all times and seek medical attention promptly when serious symptoms such as high fever and persistent cough occur, in order to avoid triggering other serious diseases and endangering the baby's physical health.
