Runny nose and cough are common symptoms in children, and almost every child has experienced this condition. Because children have relatively low immunity, many situations can trigger this disease. When a child develops this disease, mothers will be very worried. What should be done if the child has a runny nose and cough?
Children who experience symptoms of runny nose and cough are usually caused by catching a cold or respiratory infections due to catching a cold. At this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. Do not give children medication indiscriminately to avoid complications caused by taking the wrong medication. Encourage children to drink warm water and be careful not to catch a cold while sleeping at night. How to effectively avoid runny nose and cough:
1. Avoid catching a cold. Children tend to kick the blanket when they sleep at night, so mothers should help them cover the blanket in a timely manner. When the weather turns cold, it is important to add clothes to children in a timely manner, and take care to keep them warm when bathing them. Try not to let children eat cold food or snacks, such as ice drinks and ice cream.
2. Prevent the transmission of colds to children. After catching a cold, parents can easily transmit it to their children while taking care of them. At this time, it is important to wear a mask in a timely manner. When feeding children, avoid blowing their food with your mouth and wait for the food to naturally warm up.
3. Maintain a good indoor environment. Children's resistance is already relatively low, and long-term exposure to unventilated environments can easily lead to colds and coughs. Regularly clean the room to prevent excessive dust from being inhaled by the baby and causing coughing.
