Tips for babies with colds and sneezing

We all know that it is normal and common for babies to sneeze. Babies usually sneeze because they are stimulated by foreign objects, have an itchy nose, catch a cold, etc. Most parents think that sneezing is a trivial matter and will not cause major problems. In fact, this is not the case. Sneezing may be caused by a cold. So, what should you do if your baby has a cold and sneezes? Here are some suggestions.

1. When a cold first occurs, symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion may occur. At this time, you should let your baby drink more water to increase the supply of VC. You can drink VC effervescent tablets or freshly squeezed orange juice to enhance resistance. If you think your baby has caught a cold due to wind or cold, you should first give him some children's cold granules, keep him warm, avoid being exposed to the wind, and try to control the spread of respiratory infections.

2. When your baby has a stuffy nose, be sure to clean the mucus and increase the air humidity. You can cover the wings of your nose with a hot towel and massage them.

3. If you have symptoms of coughing, be alert. Generally, if you have a cough, you must go to the hospital for a check-up. The main purpose is to let the doctor listen to whether there is bronchial or lung inflammation. If there is no inflammation, but only an upper respiratory tract infection, do not take the antibiotics prescribed by the doctor, and there is no need to get an injection or even an IV drip. Colds are mostly caused by viruses. Taking antibiotics is completely ineffective and can only destroy the body's own immunity.

4. If the cough is caused only by a cold, the recommended medication is children's cough syrup (or fresh bamboo juice and other cough and phlegm-relieving Chinese medicine) plus antiviral granules (such as isatis root). Another important home care method is to boil rock sugar, Fritillaria and pear water for your baby to drink.

5. If your baby's cough is not severe or if he has a minor cough for a long time after a cold, rock sugar, Fritillaria and pear water is the best treatment.

Every baby is the mother’s angel. I believe mothers understand that they love their babies the most. However, mothers should not ignore even small aspects and should love their children. I hope mothers will understand them seriously. Only by fully understanding them can it be best for the baby. I hope this will be helpful to everyone.
