When a baby has a cold with coughing and a runny nose, ensure good indoor air circulation and maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity level. Increase the baby's fluid intake appropriately to help thin mucus and relieve coughing. If symptoms are mild, try using saline nasal drops to help clear the nasal passages. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if fever develops, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment. In addition, ensure the baby gets adequate rest and stays warm, and avoid contact with other sick individuals to prevent cross-infection.
