Why does my 10-month-old baby have a runny nose due to a cold?

Ten-month-old babies have relatively poor resistance and are prone to catching colds when the weather changes significantly. If they have a cold, they will often have a runny nose, and in the later stages of a cold, purulent mucus will appear. Ten-month-old babies are also prone to asthma at this time, so the baby's cold problem should be taken seriously, and targeted treatment should be given after the condition is clearly understood.

If the baby's cough is not serious, but he has a runny nose, you can give him some cold granules or cold and heat-clearing granules. If he has a runny yellow nose, you can give him some pediatric cold granules and feed him more warm water. If you cough with phlegm, it means there is an infection factor. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs such as azithromycin granules, or you can cook some Fritillaria cirrhosa and stewed pears with food therapy. If the symptoms are not serious and you don't need rhinitis injections, you can just strengthen care and take medicine. Drink more warm water and rest more during the day, and avoid strenuous exercise as it will damage the myocardium.

In terms of diet, drinking more white rice porridge which is light and easy to digest is very beneficial to the baby's recovery. If you are worried about your baby's cold, you can also take some vitamin C effervescent tablets or other vitamin C supplements to speed up the recovery process of the cold. If you can avoid taking medicine, then do so; this will help improve your immunity. From another perspective, a cold is actually equivalent to a vaccination, of course, this is if the patient can heal on his own; and some experts say that for children under the age of seven, it is best for them to recover from a cold or fever on their own. Some of those various cold medicines have side effects on children that outweigh their therapeutic effects.

One thing that needs to be mentioned here is that if the baby coughs relatively less during the day but coughs more severely at night, you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor, as the baby may have other symptoms besides a cold. Although a cold is not a serious illness, it is normal for babies to get sick because their resistance is limited at ten months old. However, you must know how to care for your child scientifically, which is most beneficial to your child's growth.
