INFANTILE COLDS
Infants take cold very easily. As a
rule there is more discomfort than real
danger however,accompanying this
condition,especially if the nostrils be
come stopped,so that when the child
nurses it is unable to breathe.
On the other hand if the cold settles
on the bronchial tubes it may develop
i .to the dreaded pneumonia, which is
so apt to be fatal amongst babies.
Ex insure to cold, or sudden change*
of temperature,chilling of the feet and
hands,clothing either too heavy or too
light are usually responsible for this
trouble. The symptoms of common
cold are: slight rise of temperature,
restlessness,discharge from the nose,
i: flsmed eyes and hacking cough.
Treatment; Keep the air moist by
having a kettle of water boiling in the
room. Carefully clean the nostrils
with a piece of cotton ,and apply some
vaseline or olive oil previously
wanned.
For cough give Brown’s mixture.li
or teu drops every two hours.
For severe cases a weak flour and
mustard poultice may be applied on
the chest. Warm oii rubbed ou the
chest and throat sometimes gives re
lief.
Keep the bowels open with a mild
laxative. The baby's clothes must be
warm,and should not fce so tight as
to interfere with the full play of his
'chest in breathing and coughing,
