What to do if your baby has a runny nose

For younger children, mothers must provide special care on a regular basis, especially in the morning and evening when the seasons change, and should add or remove clothes for the children in time to prevent colds.

Mothers should not be anxious. This is a sign of a cold. Keep the baby warm in time and let the child rest more and drink more water.

Some babies sneeze and then have a runny nose in the morning, but after eating breakfast and moving around, the runny nose stops again. This must be because the baby caught a cold at night. Either the baby is not covered enough or the baby kicked off the quilt again. If the baby did not catch a cold at night, this condition would not occur in the morning.

If your baby often sneezes and has a runny nose during the day, it means that the baby has severe coldness and weak qi in the body. In addition to making sure that the baby does not catch cold, parents must also pay attention to the baby's diet. Do not give the baby cold foods. Let the baby eat more warm foods, do not eat or eat less fruit. Soak the baby's feet in warm water every night until the baby sweats slightly, and try to ensure the baby gets enough sleep.

If the baby is usually fine, but starts to sneeze and have a runny nose in the afternoon or evening, it means that the baby does not wear enough clothes during the day, or the baby's food during the day is too cold, causing the baby to have a cold body.
