Question
What should I do when my four-and-a-half-month-old baby has a cold and a runny nose?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s runny nose is caused by a cold. You can give the baby some cold medicine to treat the cold and relieve symptoms. At the same time, using a warm towel to apply cold compresses to the baby’s nose can help increase nasal secretions and maintain clear breathing. Additionally, it is important to maintain a balanced diet, regular work and rest, and adjust physical and mental health to keep a good mood. Eat more light, soft foods, drink more water, and increase intake of vegetables and fruits.
