Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When a baby has cough and runny nose, the following measures can generally be taken:
1. Administer antiviral medications to the baby to improve immunity and reduce viral damage.
2. Provide adequate nutrition by encouraging the baby to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, thereby supplementing vitamins and trace elements to enhance immune function.
3. Maintain fresh indoor air by ventilating regularly, and avoid exposing the baby to smoke or harmful gases.
4. Perform timely nasal cleansing for the baby using warm water with a small amount of saline solution to keep the nasal passages clean and help prevent viral infection.
