Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
The main cause of a baby's cold and runny nose is viral infection. After exposure to the virus, the baby's immune system changes, leading to increased bacteria in the nasal passages, which can result in rhinitis and a runny nose. Treatment for a baby's cold and runny nose generally includes medication and natural remedies. Medication typically involves a combination of antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antiallergic drugs to control the viral infection and reduce inflammation. Any medication should be used under the guidance of a qualified doctor.
