How to treat a 4-month-old baby’s cold and cough?

Newborn babies have very weak immunity and everything in their lives depends on their parents. When the baby is unwell, parents are very worried. Only parents can understand that feeling of anxiety. When a baby is sick, he will not express it like we do. He can only express his discomfort through crying. So what should you do if a four-month-old baby has a cold and cough? Parents, come and take a look.

First of all, after the baby catches a cold, if it is a mild one, he often has a fever, and the systemic symptoms and respiratory symptoms are relatively mild. The course of the disease is about 1 to 2 days and can be relieved on its own. Mothers don't have to worry too much, just pay more attention to the baby's body temperature and various mental states. Because it is normal for a cold to last for 2 to 5 days. It is best to go to the hospital and ask the pediatrician to prescribe some cold medicine according to your baby's condition. Just follow the doctor's instructions strictly and take the medicine regularly. Usually let the baby drink more boiled water and vitamin C juice, pay attention to eating light and easily digestible food, and pay attention to temperature. 7 But he is very small and can't swallow or spit out phlegm, so parents have to take good care of him. However, if the high fever persists and is accompanied by chills, headache or even convulsions, you need to seek medical attention immediately.

1. As the baby grows older, his resistance will be better.

2. Pay attention to balanced nutrition. If you want to improve your baby's immunity, please refuse to feed your baby high-fat, high-sugar refined processed foods.

1. Eat more natural foods, vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals.

2. Cereals are the staple food of humans. When adding complementary foods to your baby after 4 months, the first things to try are rice flour and wheat flour. After weaning, cereals are also the replacement food. Whole grains contain germ and polysaccharides, and are rich in vitamins B and E. These antioxidants can enhance immunity and strengthen the function of immune cells.

3. Five servings of fruits and vegetables a day is not only a dietary creed for adults, but is also suitable for young children. Such as lycopene, carotene, rich in vitamins C and E, etc. Fiber can prevent constipation and provide a good absorption environment for intestinal tract. The fructooligosaccharides in fruits help the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, just like laying a layer of immune carpet in the small intestine and large intestine. If your child doesn’t like vegetables, you can chop them up, mix them with grains or meat, and make them into meatballs, dumplings, or wontons, which they will be more likely to accept.

It is difficult for a four-month-old baby to take medicine. At this time, mothers can take the medicine themselves and feed it to their babies through breast milk. In addition to breastfeeding, you should also give your child some nutritious food, keep your child warm, and avoid taking your child to crowded places to prevent germs from invading your child's body.
