Infant Colds
A Tiny Drop (Tip Tipa) of Information on Infant Colds
Green mucus is a common symptom of colds in infants. Even if you remembered to shut the door and never let your little ones venture outside without a sweater, they’re still likely to catch colds, cough and suffer from built-up phlegm. Infant colds are viral illnesses caused by viruses entering the upper respiratory tract. They have nothing to do with the weather. The reason they appear more often in the winter is that during this period, we tend to hole up in closed areas, leading to faster infection rates.
The symptoms of colds in infants:
-
A blocked nose, which makes it difficult for the infant to breath
-
Phlegm, which clogs the airway
-
Snoring
