What are the sequelae of infant colds? How to treat infant colds?

Infant colds are common problems and generally do not leave sequelae. However, if the symptoms are severe, coupled with improper treatment and care, it may induce complications such as otitis media, myocarditis, pneumonia, and even nephritis and rheumatic fever.

Most infants with colds will quickly improve with active treatment and proper care, and the course of the disease is generally 5 to 7 days. The treatment is mainly symptomatic. If the child has obvious cough and sputum symptoms, cough and expectorant can be used to relieve the symptoms; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, antipyretic drugs can be used for treatment, and water should be properly replenished.

During the treatment, parents must strictly follow the doctor's instructions to give their children medications, and not arbitrarily reduce the dosage of the drug, increase the type of drug, or stop taking the drug. If symptoms such as repeated fever occur, be alert to complications such as otitis media and pneumonia, and have a follow-up examination in time.
