Many parents believe that at the beginning of a cold, they have a clear snot, but when the cold is almost cured, they have a yellow snot. This statement is incorrect. The nasal discharge turning yellow from clear indicates that the cold has worsened and they need to be treated as soon as possible. So what should I do if my baby has pus and yellow nose?
1. When the symptoms are mild, parents should first use a thermometer to check the baby's temperature. Usually, shake the thermometer a few times until the temperature drops below 35 degrees, then clip it under the baby's armpit and take it out after ten minutes. If there is no fever, parents can buy some cold medicine from a pharmacy themselves, preferably for babies, and feed them. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly measure their body temperature and observe changes in their condition.
2. While taking medication, small folk remedies can be used to assist in treatment. Crush the three clove garlic and place it on the baby's feet, then put socks on the baby. Garlic has a sterilizing effect, and when it acts on certain acupoints, it may have unexpected effects.
3. When the condition is severe, parents feel their heads burning with their hands and need to be taken to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Usually, a blood test is needed to check the blood routine, followed by an ultrasound to see if there is inflammation in the lungs. The doctor will prescribe medication based on the condition.
4. It is important to maintain a healthy and hygienic environment for babies, as many illnesses can be transmitted through viruses. Parents must be careful.
