Signs and Symptoms of Children's Common Colds

Stuffy Nose

Occurs when the tissues lining the nose become swollen. The swelling is due to inflamed blood vessels.

Sneezing

An abrupt involuntary blowing of air from the nose and mouth because of nostril irritation that can be bothersome

Runny Nose

It is the excessive nasal discharge of thin clear fluid that may run out of the nose or back down in the throat. This may lead to sore throat in children.

Mild Fever

Slightly elevated body temperature ranging between 37.5ºC and 38.3ºC which can last for more than 24 hours. Headache and body pains may accompany fever, causing sluggishness and lethargy.

How to relieve your child's colds symptoms?

To ease nasal congestion, try saline nasal sprays.

Serve hot soup with chicken, meat or vegetables to keep your child nourished. Hot soup always helps alleviate cold symptoms.

Let your child get plenty of rest to allow your child's body to fight off the cold virus.

Give your child plenty of fluids like water or natural fruit juices such as warm calamansi juice or dalandan juice.
