Pediatric viral colds, also commonly referred to by doctors as upper respiratory tract infections, are acute inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract caused by viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that invade the nose, throat, and tonsils.

If it has been determined to be a viral cold there are two scenarios:

1. Influenza virus infection

Generally, within 7 days of the onset of illness, the child has been to a unit or community where there is an influenza outbreak, lived with a suspected case of influenza or has a history of close contact; returned from travel to a country or region where there is an influenza pandemic.

The disease usually starts sharply with high fever, headache, fatigue, generalized aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat and dry cough after 2-3 days.

A diagnosis of influenza is confirmed if the influenza virus tests positive for nucleic acid.

If influenza is diagnosed, oseltamivir is preferred.

2. Common viral infections

No epidemiologic history, often with nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, dry cough, fever, and sore throat.

Treatment can be based on the baby's symptoms and the medication chosen to provide relief.

For babies with fever, you can take physical cooling and drink ibuprofen or acetaminophen if necessary;

For nasal congestion: mild cases can be left untreated, while obvious cases can be treated with physiological seawater aerosol nasal spray.

For patients with significant sore throat, oral medications that clear heat and toxins can be administered;

Children with significant upper respiratory kata symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, and watery eyes can be treated with interferon nebulized antiviral therapy.

Common viral colds should rest properly, drink plenty of water, give easy-to-digest food, keep the indoor air fresh and maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity, strengthen nursing care, pay attention to respiratory isolation and prevent complications.
