A: A child with a cold and runny nose is a common upper respiratory infection. More than 90% of them are caused by virus infection. First of all, let the baby drink more water and pay attention to rest. Be sure to open the window and ventilate at home, and be sure to pay attention to isolation.

Take a small number of meals, light digestion diet. Children's paracetamol or children's Chiqiao granules can be taken orally. If the baby is accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, you can also apply it with a hot towel. It is best to let the baby sleep on his side. And be sure to gently wipe the baby's nose with a cotton handkerchief. Never use force, mainly for fear of causing skin ulcers or eczema. If the skin around the nasal cavity is red, erythromycin ointment can be applied, especially after the baby falls asleep. The effect will be better. Usually it will get better in about three to five days. It is best not to give the baby antibiotics indiscriminately.
