What should I do if my baby sneezes and has a runny nose?

Once winter comes, babies will easily catch a cold because the weather is colder and they are more likely to be infected with colds, which will cause coughs and runny noses. In spring, bacteria that are easy to infect can also cause colds. Parents must be particularly afraid that their babies will catch a cold, but they dare not use medicine casually, so mom and dad will feel distressed. What are the methods to treat colds? The editor can introduce them below.

1. Some children sneeze and have clear runny nose every morning, but after eating a good breakfast and moving around, the runny nose stops. At this time, you need to see if the child kicks off the quilt when sleeping at night. If so, parents should pay attention to not let the child catch a cold when sleeping at night, so that this phenomenon will not occur in the morning.

2. If the child often sneezes and has a runny nose during the day, it means that the child has too much cold in the body and is qi weak. In addition to being careful not to let her catch cold, she should not eat cold things such as fruits and juice. In the morning, on an empty stomach, give her more ginger soup, warm brown sugar water twice in the afternoon and evening, and warm boiled water at other times.

3. If your child has been taking medicine for several days and there is no effect, and his spleen and stomach are very weak, feed him more rice soup, and stop breastfeeding for one day.

4. If you sneeze frequently, don’t take a bath but wipe your body. If conditions permit, you can let your child soak his feet in ginger water until he sweats slightly. After soaking, immediately drink a cup of ginger and sugar water to speed up blood circulation and eliminate cold and dampness in the body in time.

A nasal suction device is best. Or absorb it with a cotton ball. Although cotton balls are soft, they have no suction and can only clear mucus from the front of the nose. Some mothers use their mouths to suck out the snot, which is effective but requires courage. The action is simple. The mother just needs to cover the baby's nose with her mouth and suck hard. This is also an ancient and very effective traditional method in the East.

Some of the methods introduced by the editor can help babies improve their runny nose and cold conditions. I believe mothers will try them and solve some problems for parents. However, if babies catch colds frequently, their physical condition will be significantly deteriorated, so it is necessary to enhance their resistance, arrange their living habits reasonably, try to drink more water, supplement nutrition, and let the children love cleanliness and pay attention to personal hygiene.
