Two month old baby sneezes frequently

Sneezing is a common phenomenon among babies. It may be a symptom of a cold or it may be caused by small objects entering the nose. Therefore, when your baby shows symptoms of sneezing, you cannot use cold medicine at will. Instead, you must first find out the cause and then take appropriate treatment plans based on the specific cause. Here we will introduce some relevant knowledge about baby sneezing.

Pay attention to indoor ventilation. There must be some tiny things sucked into the nostrils. The baby will sneeze when he feels uncomfortable. If he sneeze frequently, you should pay attention to it, as it is a precursor to a cold. When feeding, pinch the nipple lightly with your hands. Don't let him suck too much at one time. If he sucks too hard, he will choke on the milk. Hold the baby upright after he finishes drinking. Carefully pat the back and slowly put the baby down after the hiccups. Also, you should pay attention to wiping the baby's sweat. The baby needs to suck milk very hard. As the saying goes, use all your strength to suck milk. If the baby sweats, you should wipe it off to avoid catching a cold.

If your baby only has symptoms such as increased eye mucus, nasal congestion, and sneezing, these are not symptoms of a cold. However, if these symptoms occur frequently in combination, or are accompanied by fever, cough, decreased appetite, etc., then it can be confirmed that the baby has a cold. First, you need to observe changes in the baby's condition. If the baby has occasional runny nose and sneezing, but is in good spirits and has no impact on appetite, you can continue to observe the baby and just ask him to drink more water. There is no need to seek medical attention. Newborns, in particular, are very prone to catching colds. They have low immunity and poor antibacterial ability. In addition, their nasal mucosa is tender, their nasal cavity is short and has no nasal hairs, which cannot prevent the invasion of bacteria. Therefore, these increase the chance of babies catching colds. If the cold is not controlled in time, it will cause bronchitis or pneumonia, or diseases such as tonsillitis.

If the fever recurs or the cough symptoms worsen, it is best to seek medical treatment in time and take oral medication as prescribed by the doctor. During the treatment, pay attention to changes in indoor temperature. The indoor temperature can be around 28 degrees. Maintain appropriate indoor humidity and avoid dryness. Drink plenty of water. When the baby has a fever, after taking oral antipyretic drugs, when sweating, wipe the baby with a warm towel and avoid using an electric fan when sweating.

Especially for newborns, mothers should wash their hands frequently, preferably with soap. The baby should be dried promptly after bathing and washing his hair to avoid catching a cold. If a family member has a cold, he or she should be isolated from the baby in time. When breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to avoid getting angry and eat more vegetables and fruits, which will help the baby add vitamins, enhance the baby's resistance, and reduce the baby's chance of catching a cold. When feeding with milk powder, it is important to eat small meals frequently, because feeding with milk powder can easily cause getting a sore throat, and drink appropriate amounts of water.
