What to do if your six-month-old baby has a cough and runny nose

Babies who are half a year old, or just six months old, are already eating some small liquid foods in addition to drinking milk, so that their stomachs and intestines can gradually adapt to the environment. Babies six months old are also very easy to get sick because they have poor resistance and are easily infected by some viruses. In summer weather, they can also suffer from skin allergies, etc. Colds also occur from time to time. Here we will introduce what to do if a six-month-old baby coughs and has a runny nose.

First of all, you should make him drink more water and less milk. If the weather is good and there is sunshine, you should take him out to bask in the sun and keep him warm, but don't wear too thick clothes. In this case, it is best to give him an IV and nebulizer. Then the doctor will prescribe some medicine, and you can take it home and give it to him on time until he is completely well. Even if he is well, you should pay attention to his diet to enhance his resistance.

If your baby has trouble sleeping, it may be due to calcium deficiency. You can check the trace elements in your baby’s body. What medicine should I take? Ventilate and keep the air circulating, boil some scallion and ginger soup, add some honey specially for babies to drink. Also use a cold patch, drink plenty of water, and observe the results. If your baby is in a bad mood, it is best to check it out and prescribe the right medicine.

If it's just cold symptoms, a common cough and runny nose are fine. If you have wheezing, take you to the hospital for treatment. Colds have a cyclical nature, and medication can only relieve symptoms. Be careful about intravenous drips in the hospital, as the combination of antibiotics and hormones may ruin your baby. Babies will experience a cold once every six months or so, because the resistance brought by the mother is almost gone, and their own resistance has not yet been established, so it is best to slowly build up their own resistance and let them recover on their own.

The above is the solution to a six-month-old baby's cough and runny nose. In order to protect the babies' health and make them live happier, it is recommended that parents start with their daily eating habits. Summer is a season when various viruses are more frequently transmitted. At this time, taking more baths and changing clothes frequently can effectively prevent contact with those tiny microorganisms.
