What to do if your baby has a runny nose due to a cold

It is normal for parents to have a baby catch a cold, but if the baby's cold is not taken seriously enough, many other diseases will occur, which is not good. In daily life, the characteristics of the baby's cold are also very important, so we should observe them carefully, so that we can better protect our baby's health, which is very good.

First of all, please don't worry too much. He started with clear nasal discharge, and now it's yellow nasal discharge, which is a sign of recovery. Today is the third day of your child's illness. Generally, if the common cold is treated actively, the course of the disease is about a week.

The pediatric paracetamol granules you are currently using can relieve the symptoms of runny nose and sneezing in the early stages of a cold. If you have yellow runny nose now, the effect is not good and you can stop taking it. It is currently recommended that you add antibiotic preparations. Yellow runny nose is a respiratory inflammatory secretion. The child is likely to have a bacterial infection. Cefixime or erythromycin can be used. As long as there is no fever, frequent coughing, and sputum, your child can basically be cured after another 4-5 days of treatment.

Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, and eat a light diet. I wish your baby grows up healthily!

1. Get more rest.

The most important thing in home care for a baby with a cold is to let the child get enough rest. The younger the baby is, the more rest he needs, and he can resume free activities only after the symptoms disappear.

2. Take medicine on time.

For most colds, which are caused by viruses, antibiotics are ineffective. Especially early viral infection. Not only are antibiotics ineffective, but their abuse can cause an imbalance in the body's flora, facilitate the reproduction of pathogens, and worsen the condition.

3. Eat easily digestible food.

When your baby has a cold and fever, you should give him liquid food, noodles, porridge and other foods according to his appetite and digestive ability. The frequency of breastfeeding should be temporarily reduced to avoid indigestion symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.

4. Suitable home environment.

The room should be quiet, with fresh air, no smoking, and the temperature should be constant, not too high, too low, or too humid. When there are symptoms of laryngitis, you should pay more attention so that your baby can recover soon. If the baby's fever persists or complications occur, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid accidents.

The above is about the problem of baby's runny nose due to cold. I hope it is helpful to parents. If the baby has a cold, we must go to the hospital immediately, discover it early, and treat it early. This is very good. We must carefully observe the characteristics of the baby's cold. Only in this way can we better protect the baby's health and facilitate the baby's recovery.
