As the saying goes, "Ignorant love is the greatest harm." Parents who learn more about nutrition and health can provide their children with the right methods, which is very helpful for their children's health. Actually, don't panic when your baby has a cold and fever; you can take some proactive measures and avoid going to the hospital. Here are some practical methods for dealing with a baby's cold and fever, which I hope will be helpful.

If it's just a common cold, there's no need to panic. Colds are self-limiting illnesses and usually heal on their own in about a week. Most colds in babies are caused by exposure to wind and cold or an imbalance of temperature, which are all common colds. Therefore, there's no need to rush to the hospital. You can take some measures at home to help your baby.

1. Give your baby plenty of boiled water. Water helps flush out toxins from the body. Many colds these days are viral, so drinking plenty of water to quickly flush out toxins is very beneficial for recovery. You can give your baby warm water frequently, but avoid giving them sugary drinks.

2. If a child has a fever, physical methods can be used to reduce it. Babies have more sensitive immune systems, so they are prone to fever when they catch a cold. This is actually a reaction of the immune system; only when the body reaches a certain temperature can it kill invading bacteria and viruses. It's a natural protective response. Therefore, parents shouldn't be overly anxious. If the temperature doesn't exceed 39 degrees Celsius, there's no need to go to the hospital. You can help lower the child's temperature at home. You can use children's fever-reducing medication, or you can use two slices of ginger dipped in alcohol or white wine to wipe the baby's body. Avoid wiping the chest area, as alcohol can quickly draw heat away from the body. This physical cooling method is harmless to the child's health.

3. If it is confirmed to be the flu and the high fever persists or there is tonsillitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
