Question

What should I do if my 3-month-old baby keeps running a nose?

Answer

For a 3-month-old baby, a runny nose may be caused by a cold, allergies, or changes in weather. In such cases, it’s advisable to observe the baby’s symptoms. If the baby is just running a nose and their eating and sleeping habits are not affected, you can try the following methods:

  • Maintain an appropriate indoor humidity and use a humidifier to alleviate dry air.
  • Avoid exposing the baby to allergens such as smoke, dust, and pet dander.
  • Ensure the baby’s diet is balanced, and during breastfeeding, the mother should also pay attention to eating lightly, avoiding spicy, cold, or hot foods.
  • Give the baby plenty of plain water to keep their body hydrated.
  • If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to take the baby to see a doctor promptly.
