If a five month old baby is accidentally infected with a bacterial virus and experiences tearing and coughing, this symptom is not typical, so new parents do not know what the cause is, let alone how to relieve and treat it. So, what should a five month old baby do if they shed tears and cough?
A baby's runny nose, sneezing, and tears may be caused by a cold. If the symptoms are mild, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, have a light diet, rest more, and take some cold medicine for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for a blood routine test in a timely manner to confirm whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection. Under the guidance of a doctor, professional targeted treatment should be carried out so that the baby can recover as soon as possible.
During the period of a cold, babies must pay more attention to rest, maintain sufficient sleep, and drink some warm water appropriately to replenish their body's water. In daily life, babies should be encouraged to engage in outdoor activities to improve their body's resistance and immunity, and also pay attention to keeping warm.
Babies can prevent colds from the following three aspects:
1. To prevent the baby from getting cold, especially the stomach, you can put a bellyband on the baby and brew the milk powder at an appropriate temperature.
2. Do not go to densely populated areas where the air is not well ventilated and viruses and bacteria can spread quickly.
3. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to not catching a cold and eat more protein rich foods to enhance immunity.
