What to do if your baby catches a cold in summer

It is very distressing for babies to catch colds in summer, because it is a very complicated task for parents to take care of the baby, and the most important thing is to make the baby get better quickly. The first thing is to let the baby drink more water. If the condition is very serious, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and take some medicine. Baby colds must be taken seriously. For the healthy growth of your baby, you must pay attention.

1 When your baby has symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing, don't rush to give him an IV or take medicine. As long as the baby does not have a fever, give the baby more boiled water first. As long as you ensure enough water, the baby will urinate more and the cold will get better quickly.

2 If the baby has symptoms of coughing, parents or ask the doctor to check whether his throat is red and swollen. If the redness and swelling are not obvious, let the baby drink more rock sugar pear water, so that the baby's cough will gradually ease.

3 When your baby has a fever due to a cold, if the temperature is below 38.5°C, do not give your baby antipyretics. Just cool him down physically first and wait for the baby's temperature to drop.

4 If the baby has repeated fever and the body temperature is above 38°5, parents should take the child to the hospital in time. During this period, don't forget to cool your baby down physically. It's easier to apply a baby fever patch.

5. If your baby often catches colds, it means that his immunity is very low. You should give your baby more immunity-enhancing supplements to enhance his body's resistance.

In summer, babies’ colds may be caused by wind-heat colds. Be careful not to let your baby stay in a very hot place all the time. Pay attention to ventilation. The mother should eat something nutritious and breastfeed the baby to make the baby get better faster. If parents are too worried, they can take their children to the hospital for examination. Hope your baby grows up healthily.
