What to do if your eight-month-old baby has a cold and runny nose

There are many reasons for a baby's runny nose. Coughing and runny nose are both manifestations of respiratory tract infection.

You can sprinkle water and ask a doctor to prescribe some medicine for your child. It is best to pay attention to the baby's diet and let the baby eat light food. There are many reasons for a baby's upper respiratory tract infection, which has a lot to do with the weather and the environment. Cover your baby with a quilt and tie a small blanket on his belly at night to prevent him from catching a cold.

1. This situation is considered to be an upper respiratory tract infection caused by a cold. It is recommended to use Shuanghuanglian and Hutong (Children's Aminophenol Yellow Mineral Granules). For cough or sputum, you can take Xianzhuli Oral Liquid or Children's Ma Gan Granules. At the same time, pay attention to the baby to drink more water, avoid spicy food, feed on time, promote small and frequent meals, and avoid contact with crowded places.

2. Consider the symptoms caused by the baby's cold. You can see a doctor and take cold medicine. Generally, you need to take Hutong granules.

3. Children have runny nose and cough, which are manifestations of respiratory tract infection. The cough reflex of infants is not fully developed, and they rarely cough unless it is caused by inflammation. If it is convenient, it is best to go to the hospital to see a doctor to auscultate the bronchi or lungs. If it is caused by pneumonia, it is best to treat it with intravenous infusion, because the child is too young. If it is just a mild bronchial inflammation, oral medication can be used for treatment. For example, cefixime. Children should drink more water, and the room should be kept at a certain humidity. Water can be sprinkled on the ground to help improve the dry nasal cavity and cause breathing discomfort.

I hope the above can give parents a reference. If the baby has a runny nose, parents should not be nervous. Let the baby drink more water. If the baby has a runny nose or a cold in winter, make sure to let the baby wear more clothes. In summer, avoid letting the child be exposed to the wind. The baby's physique is relatively weak, so parents must pay attention. The baby can eat some granules and replenish enough water to maintain the indoor humidity and keep the room ventilated.
