Question 1

what do i do for my 1 year olds runny nose?

Accepted Answer

Likely viral: Unfortunately there is not much to do for a runny nose other than let it run its course. You can try bulb suction if it is bothersome, saline rinses. If the child is otherwise acting normal not to worry. It may take a few days or a week for symptoms to resolve.

Question 2

my 1 year old has runny nose, threw up but no fever. should i go to doctors?

Accepted Answer

May be not: Your child likely is having a respiratory viral illness which resolve of its own in 3-4 days. If he is not running a fever, you don't need to do any thing except making sure he is well hydrated and comfortable.

Question 3

1 year old experiencing runny nose & slight congestion for 2 days. normal in other ways. no fever, eating fine & playing fine. we had no covid exposure & 7 family adult members are all fine with no symptoms. could this be covid?

Accepted Answer

: It could be either a common cold or it could be COVID.-19. Discuss with the child's pediatrician.

Question 4

i have a 1 year old with a runny nose how do i stop it?

Accepted Answer

Saline nose drops: Use saline nose drops in your child's nose and then suction the mucous with a bulb syringe to help with nasal congestion. Babies don't mind too much if their nose runs, but they get very fussy if they can't breathe through their noses! use a cool mist humidifier. You should not give any over-the-counter cold medicine to a baby without a doctor's recommendation.

Question 5

my one year old has a fever, runny nose, and a cough but she eats and play normally she just won't drink milk..what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Viral infection: Monitor her symptoms, they may resolve within a couple of days as they may be from a virus. Give her other fluids, water , rice milk or soy milk until she drinks the milk again, it may be too thick and bothers her throat.

Question 6

my one year old has a terrible runny nose so bad yesterday she had a bloody nose. she took zyrtec (cetirizine) at 8:30 this morning can i give her benydryl now?

Accepted Answer

If not sleepy, yes: Yes even if taken at the same time. Whether it works or not is another question.

Question 7

my one year old has been having congestion nd runny nose for about two months already..is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Is the congestion: intermittent? or has it been there constantly over the 2 months? Colds do not last that long, but at that age, one cold can run into another. This could be allergies, but he is a little young for allergies. Is he eating and drinking normally? It's best to see his/her doctor to examine him and determine the cause.

Question 8

my one year old daughter has had a temperature (axillary) of 100.8 5 days ago and today 101.5, slight runny nose and mild productive cough. is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: I would have her doctor take a listen to her lungs as she may have a bacterial infection or another reason for the fever. Viral infections can be precursors to bacterial infections and a concerning sign is a fever persisting or increasing after so many days.

Question 9

hi.my one-year-old son, without any previous history, started showing reflux symptoms since two weeks ago. this morning, he has a cough, sneeze, and a runny nose without fever and other symptoms. are these symptoms related to reflux or a cold?

Accepted Answer

: You can have symptoms of cough, sneeze and runny nose from reflux. Most people, and some doctors, do not know that but it can occur and you see it a lot in adults who think they have allergies but it is really reflux. So you cannot tell the actual cause.

Question 10

my one year old has watery eyes and runny nose, should i give him antihistamines?

Accepted Answer

Seldom needed: Although used for decades these meds have not been shown to shorten an illness & may increase the thickness of secretions making it harder to cough them out.Many kids felt a little more would help them & self medicated & ended up in emergency rooms.The aap & other groups discourage their use under 6. I have mixed feelings. Saline nasal wash is preferable for younger kids.
