What to do if your baby has a cold

Once a baby is over one year old, his resistance will weaken. As he grows older and comes into contact with a wider range of things, he is more likely to be infected by viruses. Once a baby is sick, it is very difficult to take care of him. Therefore, many mothers don’t know what to do when their baby is sick. But don’t worry, as long as you master some methods, it is actually very simple to care for a sick baby, and it is also very enjoyable for the baby.

The initial symptoms of a cold in babies are runny nose and sneezing, and the baby will cry a lot. Generally, if the condition is not very serious, the baby can recover on his own by taking some cold medicine, so no injection is needed, which also saves the baby from suffering. However, some serious cases require injections and a combination of medication.

Parents should first ask the doctor to clarify whether the baby has a cold caused by wind-cold or wind-heat so that the right medicine can be prescribed.

If it is a cold caused by wind and cold, you can take medicines such as children's cold granules, noon tea, and Chaifang granules.

If it is a wind-heat cold, you can take children's heat-clearing and detoxifying oral liquid, Isatis root granules and other medicines. At the same time, massage therapy under the guidance of a doctor can also help alleviate the condition.
