Infantile cold is a very common pediatric disease with a very high incidence rate, which can occur in infants of any age. And it is possible to get sick in four seasons of the year, with the highest incidence rate in spring and winter, especially when the seasons change and the temperature difference is large. Parents must be careful and timely to detect the symptoms of a baby's cold and seek treatment as soon as possible. So, what should I do if my baby has a cold, cough, and runny nose?
Firstly, when a baby has a cold, cough, and runny nose, parents should try not to administer medication to the baby, let alone overuse antibiotics. You should feed the baby more warm water. When a baby coughs, you can gently pick him up and make his upper body at a 45 degree angle. At the same time, the mother can gently pat the baby's back with her own hands to help him cough up the phlegm.
Secondly, parents should isolate their babies from pathogens. During the high incidence of influenza in autumn and winter, parents should try to avoid taking their babies to crowded public places and wear masks when going out. Try to avoid close contact with cold patients and infants carrying the virus, and do not allow young infants to use shared water bottles and utensils in the restaurant. If someone in the family has already contracted the flu, they should be isolated and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
