What to do if your baby has a runny nose in autumn

Babies may suffer from colds and runny noses at any time of the year, especially in the cooler autumn season. Because the temperature changes greatly between day and night in autumn, it is more common for babies to catch colds. When your baby catches a cold and has a runny nose in autumn, you as a mother should use the correct method to treat it. You can let your baby get enough rest, pay attention to indoor environmental hygiene, and use reasonable medications for treatment.

What should I do if my baby catches a cold and has a runny nose in autumn?

1. Let your baby get enough rest. The younger the baby is, the more rest he needs, so that he can recover faster. Wait until your baby's cold symptoms disappear before you can slowly resume activities.

2. Parents should also dry their bedding frequently in their daily lives. Due to the human body's metabolism, a lot of sweat and oil will be discharged, causing the bedding to become damp, which will cause the bacteria and viruses in the bedding to multiply and grow wildly. Therefore, parents must often turn over and dry bedding in their daily lives so that the ultraviolet rays in the sun can kill the virus and remove moisture, which is very beneficial for preventing colds.

3. For your baby's cold, you must use the right medicine. Most colds in life are caused by viruses, so the use of antibiotics is ineffective. Especially for patients with early colds, the use of antibiotics is not only ineffective, but the abuse of antibiotics will cause the body's flora imbalance, aggravating the condition and other hazards. Therefore, parents must prescribe the right medicine for their children. This will effectively solve common symptoms such as fever, nasal congestion, cough, etc. caused by colds, and can better avoid the occurrence of complications and allow the baby to recover sooner.

4. It is best to sleep with the window open. This not only keeps the air in the bedroom flowing and fresh, but also allows the viruses in the room to be expelled in time through air convection. Or you can use an air purifier to remove viruses and harmful air in our room. Due to the special needs of babies, it is recommended that you use a mother-and-child grade air purifier.

5. Before the baby goes to bed, parents can rub the baby's back up and down through the clothes. Rubbing the back to warm it up can also help prevent colds. If your baby has a mild nasal congestion, you can rub his little ears until they turn red, which is also very effective in treating nasal congestion.

If parents find that their baby has a persistent fever or develops complications, they must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition and accidents.
