Tips for treating colds in five-month-old babies

Children are actually very easy to catch colds. If parents don't pay attention, their baby will catch a cold and have a fever. So, for a five-month-old baby, how can parents help the baby quickly treat a cold? Today we will introduce some tips to you, hoping that they can serve as a reference for parents to help sick five-month-old babies.

1. Soak your feet in water boiled with ginger

Ingredients: 2 thumb-sized pieces of old ginger, 2 teaspoons of vinegar

Method: Crush the old ginger and put it into water to boil. After boiling, simmer for 15 minutes, turn off the heat, and add two spoons of vinegar. Put half of the boiled ginger water into the bucket first, and soak your feet in it when it is no longer hot. Massage the soles of your feet while soaking. When it’s halfway through soaking, add hot water and continue soaking. The whole process takes 15 minutes.

Ingredients: a small piece of old ginger, a small piece of green onion

Add a small piece of scallion to the unused ginger water in method one, then cook for 10 minutes and turn off the heat. Babies may not like drinking this water, so we can add a little brown sugar as big as the little finger, and then let the baby drink about 5 spoons.

3. Boil white radish to moisten the lungs

Ingredients: Half a small white radish

Method: Cut into pieces or cubes, put into water and boil for 30 minutes. Letting your baby drink radish water can not only eliminate phlegm and clear away heat, but is also very helpful for sore throat.

No matter what causes your baby's cold, whether the symptoms are sore throat, runny nose, high fever, or phlegm, the only and gentlest way is to drink more warm water!

For a five-month-old baby, once he feels unwell and cannot express it with words, he can only cry constantly or sleep all day. The above tips for treating colds are for reference only and can also be used as daily care for your baby. However, the specific situation should be based on the actual situation of the baby. Do not blindly treat your child's cold by yourself.
