Once our baby has a runny nose due to a heat cold, you should give the baby ginger water, which can effectively eliminate the heat and cold symptoms in the baby's body. Therefore, we recommend that mothers learn more about how to deal with heat and colds in babies.

What should you do if your one-year-old baby has a runny nose due to a heat stroke or a cold? This type of child often has poor body resistance. In addition, many parents now like to use milk powder when feeding their children, and the time for breastfeeding is relatively short, which results in the child's body not getting enough antibodies and poor immunity, so it is easy to catch a cold. Once you catch a cold, you are prone to a runny nose. Here we will introduce how to deal with this situation.

If this happens, you can find the scallion and wash it clean, then find a small piece of ginger, wash it and cut it into thin slices, put the scallion and ginger into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. If the child does not like to drink it, you can also add appropriate amount of rock sugar. After 5 minutes, you can remove from the heat and let it cool, then slowly feed it to your child. If the runny nose is severe, you should take medicine. You should choose medicines specially for children, such as common cold and anti-inflammatory medicines. Medicines specially for children have fewer side effects, while medicines used by adults have greater side effects than those for children.

Letting children drink more water can help the body detoxify. Improve your diet, eat light food, you can drink porridge, but remember not to eat greasy and spicy food. Also, make sure your child gets enough rest and don't let him or her crawl or jump around. The water given to children should be warm boiled water. Do not let children drink cold boiled water, let alone cold water. When children are resting at home, the room should be kept ventilated and clean to prevent bacterial infection. No matter what medicine you take, you should seek the advice of your doctor in advance and avoid abusing it without permission. When the child is sleeping, the head can be raised appropriately to facilitate the discharge of mucus and prevent the mucus from drying and scabbing into the nasal cavity, causing breathing obstruction.
