How to treat a baby with a cough and runny nose How to treat a baby with a cough and runny nose

Since children have relatively poor immunity, they are prone to coughing and runny nose. When babies cough and have runny nose, it is mostly because the cold air invades the lungs, causing the body's self-defense to decrease or bacteria in the air to enter the respiratory tract, which in turn induces symptoms such as coughing and runny nose. What should I do if my baby coughs and has a runny nose? When this happens, what should I pay attention to?

1. What to do if your baby has a cough and a runny nose
1. Take cold medicine <br/>Children with cough and runny nose are mostly caused by colds. In this case, children's cold granules can be used for effective treatment. Taking this kind of medicine will cause less harm to children and can also have a good cooling effect.
2. Take honey water <br/>When the baby has symptoms of coughing and runny nose, he can drink honey water in moderation. Honey water has a very good cough-relieving effect and can also improve the child's sleep quality.

3. Brown sugar, ginger and scallion water <br/>Slice the ginger and add two scallions, then add appropriate amount of brown sugar and boil with water. Boil about half a bowl of water each time, and let the baby drink the boiled water while it is hot. After drinking this water, the baby will sweat, which can effectively relieve runny nose and cough. Drink it 1~2 times.
4. Steam bath <br/>You can turn on the hot water in the bathroom, let the steam in the room, and then take your baby to stay in this state for about 10 minutes. Or you can give your baby a hot bath, which can make him sweat and relieve the symptoms of runny nose.
