One of the most annoying and perhaps embarrassing illnesses is the common colds. People tend to lose their composure and poise when they have runny nose. Of course, we feel conscious about it. But the most troubling of all, your nose becomes clogged every time you sleep at night. Now, imagine how your newborn baby would feel if he is the one having and experiencing the discomforts of common colds. 

It is very contagious kinds of virus which can be transmitted through the air, food, touch and any forms of contact. Although, it is not really dangerous to have such kind of illness, it is just very discomforting.  The virus can easily invade someone’s respiratory system because the immune system of the body is simply not too tight to fight against this kind of virus; the immune system knows that such virus is tolerable for the body. That is why you can easily develop colds than cough. 

However, when talking about the baby, it is to be treated immediately to avoid further complications. You cannot just afford to let your baby have it without being able to take proper medications. Besides, colds for babies might be a sign of yet another disease inside the body; more often than not, babies develop colds when they have fever, cough or dislocated joints. 

To be able to know if your baby is developing baby colds, here are some common symptoms you should know to be able to determine what action to take; 

• Sore throat – there are times when your baby will not feed on milk or it is difficult for him to swallow, it could be that he has a sore throat which will develop into colds.
• Coughing – when your baby coughs, he will, more likely, develop colds after a day or two.
• Slight fever – it is also another sign that your baby will surely develop common colds; fever is always related to it.
• Sneezing – when he sneezes, it is a sign that something is wrong with his respiratory system. 

During these times, your baby will need you the more. And so, you have to spend almost all of your time everyday until the colds will be gone. As for the treatment, it would be better to give him fruit juices rich in vitamin C to boost his immune system and to fight back against the viruses which caused it rather than giving him medicines. Generally, common cold is not dangerous so you can let your baby get through than suppress it. 

To avoid having your baby get colds, never let people neither sneeze near your baby nor let someone with colds touch him. On the other hand, avoid putting your baby into a dusty and dirty place as they are also other agents for baby colds. Be mindful of the health of your baby all the time.
