What are the dangers of yellow runny nose in children with colds

Colds and runny noses are common in children, but they should not be ignored just because they are common. If children's colds are not treated effectively, they may develop more serious illnesses. For example, some children did not receive proper treatment for their colds and eventually developed myocarditis or bronchitis. If a child catches a cold, he or she should be treated promptly and attention should also be paid to the child's lifestyle. Here we will introduce the problem of runny nose caused by a child's cold.

It is common for children to catch 5 to 6 colds a year. Typical symptoms of a cold include: runny nose, blocked nose, cough, sore throat, tiredness, loss of appetite, and fever. When babies under one year old catch a cold, they often experience fever (body temperature over 38°C), cough, red eyes, sore throat, and runny nose. Babies with a cold often have a decreased appetite. Babies under 6 months old often have difficulty feeding and breathing because they cannot breathe with a completely blocked nose.

Generally, a cold will last for 7 to 10 days, and in babies it may last for about 2 weeks. The cough is often the last symptom to go away and it often lasts for several weeks. Young children who often play with older children usually catch 6 to 10 colds a year; they may even have a runny nose all winter. If your baby is less than 3 months old and shows symptoms of a cold, you should take him to the doctor immediately. For older babies, you should take them to the hospital immediately if any of the following conditions occur: a cold lasts more than 5 days; a body temperature exceeds 39°C; the baby has ear pain; difficulty breathing; a persistent cough; or a runny, yellow-green, sticky nasal discharge.

In order to prevent children from catching colds and fevers, we need to pay attention to them in daily life. For example, you can let your child eat more bananas. Eating bananas can help restore the child's physical strength, and can also supplement vitamins and nutrients such as mannitol and trehalose. These nutrients can promote the activity of the child's immune cells, so that the child has better immunity to resist the invasion of diseases.
