What to do if your child has a fever and runny nose

Children are susceptible to viral infections, and influenza has become a common disease that endangers their physical health and can cause some complications. Fever and runny nose are common symptoms. If they are not cured for a long time, they can also lead to various pneumonias. This condition has a great impact on children. Let us now understand what to do if a child has a fever and a runny nose.

When your baby is sleeping, let his head be slightly elevated to help him breathe smoothly and rest well. This situation is usually caused by catching a cold. After the baby's condition stabilizes, if the baby does not have a fever, try not to use medication. First use diet therapy: 5 slices of white radish, 3 slices of ginger, 3 dates, and 30 grams of honey. First, add appropriate amount of water to boil white radish, ginger and jujube, simmer over low heat for about 3 minutes, remove the residue, add honey, and boil again. Give it to your baby when the temperature is right. For runny nose caused by cold, let your baby drink more boiled water and take pediatric cold granules and Baifuning orally. At the same time, to increase the air humidity in the baby's bedroom, you can add a humidifier or place a few basins of water in the baby's bedroom. But parents should also pay attention to observation and take the baby to the hospital for treatment if necessary.

The baby's current condition may be caused by a cold. If the baby has a fever but it does not exceed 38.5 degrees, there is no need to give the baby medicine. You can give the baby water or use a fever-reducing patch to relieve the fever.

I'm happy to answer your question. From what you described, your baby is clearly showing symptoms of a cold. You can give your baby some children's cold medicine, such as children's acetaminophen granules. Also, make sure your baby drinks plenty of water and gets more rest. If the fever exceeds 38.5, you can give your baby some ibuprofen to reduce the fever.

The above are the solutions to children’s fever and runny nose. Children’s development requires various nutrients. During the treatment process, the impact on the child's development is still great. Therefore, we should pay attention to children's health and create a better growth environment for them.
