Medical experts tell us there is no cure for common cold. However, there are ways to alleviate miserable symptoms your baby undergoes.

Make sure he gets plenty of rest and extra fluids. If he has a fever, give him acetaminophen or if he’s older that six months he may take ibuprofen (but don’t give it to your baby if he is dehydrated or continuously vomiting).

If your child has a cough and is under three years old, don’t give him a cough suppressing medicine unless it was prescribed by a pediatrician. Coughing rids lower respiratory tract of mucus.

If your baby has nasal congestion, you can use a rubber suction bulb to draw out mucus from his nostrils. If mucus is too thick, you can apply saline nose drops to soften mucus before extracting with bulb. A humidifier can also be used in baby’s room to help liquefy nasal secretions.

Concluding Thoughts

The best way for your baby to avoid a cold is to not have him near people who are infected. But if your baby gets a cold, best thing you can do is make it comfortable for him. Soon his cold symptoms will disappear and he’ll be back to health, that is, until next episode. But by now you’ll be ready for that, won’t you?

It’s also about building up your own catalog of experience, as it’s pretty hard for any teacher to tell you what a certain exercise should feel like when you do it. I can tell you how it feels to ME when I do it, but it may feel differently to you when you do it yourself, so play with it and see how it feels.

This is also about learning to trust yourself and your own feelings and only way to do that is play with it and have fun.
