Due to the immature development of children's autoimmune function, it is easy to cause viral cold, which is why preschool children in kindergartens are easy to have the phenomenon of one person catching a cold in the whole class. Proper isolation is an effective way to avoid viral cold. Most of the viruses that cause colds are transmitted in the air through respiratory droplets and aerosols, or directly through hand contact. Some parents often ask their mothers whether they can breast feed their babies after catching a cold. In fact, when they breast feed their babies, most babies are infected by their mothers instead of breast milk. The main reason is that when they are breast-feeding, their parents have close contact with their children and they get sick through respiratory tract infection. If parents have a cold, they should wear masks, stay away from children if possible, and do a good job in indoor ventilation and sanitation. Viral cold is a self limiting disease, that is, through the natural course of disease and body resistance to make the body gradually recover. Children suffering from viral cold can take rest, strengthen nursing and symptomatic treatment without taking antibiotics. They can also take some traditional Chinese medicine to reduce fever, clear away heat and detoxify. Drink plenty of water and light food.
