As hard as it is, try not to worry yourself too much. The common cold is normal for infants; the only problem is that your baby’s immune system is not as strong as ours. The common cold is an upper respiratory tract infection caused by many viruses, which mainly affects the baby’s nose and throat. As a result of babies often being around other children—and adults—who do not wash their hands, they are likely to get eight to ten colds before they are two years old.
The most common symptoms in infants are: congested and/or runny nose, nasal discharge that is clear in the beginning and becomes thicker and turns shades of green or yellow, a low fever, sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. Your baby may not have the same appetite and may be very cranky.
Hopefully these tips help ease your worries when your bundle of joy experiences the common cold. As a mother it can be difficult to just sit back and allow time to pass, but as long as you consult with the baby’s doctor, follow all the instructions given, and take note of the tips provided, the common cold should not interfere with your day-to-day sanity!
