Question
How to treat a 5-month-old baby’s cold?
Answer
Nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and coughing in a child are all signs of respiratory infection. Clear nasal mucus is often a sign of viral infection. Most viral infections are self-limiting and can heal on their own within about 7 days without medication. Parents should be careful not to develop picky eating habits in their children and should have a balanced diet. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory tract infection, treatment should be initiated immediately, accompanied by gastrointestinal decompression, and good hygiene habits should be cultivated.
