What to do if your baby sneezes and has a runny nose? Don’t ignore the cold

Sneezing is normal, maybe it is to expel cold, but just maybe. Babies are still young and don’t know how to express where they are uncomfortable. When babies sneeze and have a runny nose, the virus has already invaded, and the disease needs to be discovered in time and timely action should be taken.

1. Some babies sneeze and have a runny nose every morning , but the runny nose stops after they move around after breakfast. This depends on whether the baby caught a cold while sleeping at night. If the condition is improved, this situation will not occur again.

2. If your baby often sneezes and has a runny nose during the day , it means that he has a lot of cold in his body and his qi is weak. At this time, in addition to preventing him from catching cold and eating cold foods such as fruits and juices, you can give him some ginger soup on an empty stomach in the morning, some brown sugar water in the afternoon and evening, and warm water at other times.

3. For babies who sneeze frequently, it is best to bathe them less frequently . You can wipe their bodies. If conditions permit, let them soak their feet in ginger water. After soaking, let them drink a cup of ginger water to speed up blood circulation and relieve the baby's sneezing.

4. If the cold symptoms are severe, you can give your baby some Chinese patent medicines for treating children's colds, such as children's cold granules, isatis root granules, ribavirin granules, Xiao Chaihu granules, etc. If the symptoms are not relieved after taking the medicine and tend to get worse, you should see a doctor immediately.

5. Observe body temperature every 2 to 4 hours . If fever occurs, take cooling measures. Generally, no antipyretic drugs are needed below 38.5 degrees, but physical cooling can be used. If the fever is above 38.5 degrees, antipyretic drugs can be used in combination with physical cooling, and see a doctor promptly.
