What should I do if my nine-month-old baby has a cold and cough?

Children getting sick is what parents worry about the most, especially for nine-month-old babies. Because their internal organs are still very fragile, if they have a cold or cough, parents dare not give their children medicine at will. But they are very worried when they see that their children are always unwell. So, what should we do if a nine-month-old baby has a cold and cough? Let's learn together.

Method: 1. You can take some taurine granules in the early stage of a cold. They can be bought at pharmacies as an over-the-counter drug. At the same time, supplement with large amounts of vitamin C. You can take cold medicine but it can only relieve cold symptoms and cannot cure the cold. If you have a lot of runny nose or a little fever, you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs, but it is best to take less anti-inflammatory drugs. A cold usually heals itself in a week. If symptoms get worse, go to the hospital.

2. Often caused by allergies, this type of runny nose is clear and watery, but colds can also cause runny noses. If it is yellow, it may be infected with a virus. For common colds, you can take Sangju Cold Tablets, Children's Cold Granules, Banlangen Granules, Yinqiao Jiedu, Liushen Pills, Vitamin C, etc.

Suggestion: The key is to find out the cause of the cough so that it can be treated correctly. If it is a respiratory bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used; if it is a respiratory viral infection, antiviral drugs should be used; since most chronic coughs lasting more than 2 months are allergic coughs, the main treatment should be to eliminate allergic inflammation of the respiratory tract. For detailed treatment, please refer to Extended Reading 2; if combined with allergic rhinitis, it may be allergic rhinitis and desensitization treatment should be the main treatment.

When babies catch a cold and cough, it is best for us mothers to go to the hospital for timely treatment to avoid danger to the lungs. In addition, we should pay attention to the complementary food and let the baby drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and observe the baby's other reactions in time, such as whether there is fever, sputum, etc. Finally, you can also give the baby some cough suppressants, but it is best to do so under the doctor's advice.
