Question
I am a 50-year-old woman taking care of a child and have noticed that the child is feeling unwell. What should I do if a nine-month-old baby has a cold and a runny nose?
Answer
During the early stages of a child’s cold, you can give them granules to effectively alleviate symptoms, which will not have any adverse effects. Pay attention to a light and easy-to-digest diet, and ensure proper warmth to prevent further colds. If coughing and fever symptoms appear again, indicating a serious condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately. Then, the patient needs to maintain a regulated diet, regular work and rest , and adjust physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, eat more light, soft foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
