Leaching
It is normal for a child to develop eight or more cases per year. This is because of the hundreds of different flu viruses that children are not immune to any of them because they were not infected previously. Gradually they build immunity and develop fewer leaching conditions.
Most leaches improve in 5 to 7 days. Here are some suggestions on how to relieve your child's symptoms:
• Increase the amount of fluid your baby drinks naturally.
• Saline nasal drops can help relieve dried nasal secretions and relieve stuffy nose. Ask your pharmacist, doctor or health nurse about them.
• If your child has fever, pain or discomfort, paracetamol or ibuprofen can help. There are special products for children.
Encourage all family members to wash their hands regularly to stop the spread of the cold.
• Nasal congestion can make the blockage worse. Do not use it for more than two or three days.
Ear infections
Ear infections are common in infants and young children. Leaching cases are often followed and sometimes cause fever. The baby can pull or rub an ear, but babies can't tell where the pain comes from and they may just cry and look uncomfortable.
If your child is in good condition but has ear pain, give him paracetamol or ibuprofen for 12-24 hours. Do not put any oil, ear drops or cotton sticks in your child's ear unless your doctor advises you to do so.
Viruses, which can not be treated with antibiotics. They will improve themselves.
After your ear infection, your baby will have a hearing problem for two to six weeks. If the problem persists longer, seek advice from your doctor.

Gummy ear
Repeated middle ear infections may lead to the gummy ear (otitis media with effusion), where the viscous fluid increases and can affect your baby's hearing. This may cause unclear or behavioral problems.
If you smoke, your child is more likely to develop a gum ear, which slows their improvement further. Your doctor will give you tips on treating gum ear.
Sore throat
Sore throat is often the result of some viral diseases such as cold or flu. Your baby's throat may be dry and sore for a day or two before the onset of the cold. Paracetamol or ibuprofen can be given to relieve pain.
If your child develops a sore throat for more than four days, he or she has a fever and is generally not well, or has been unable to swallow fluids or saliva.

Cough
Children often cough when they get leached because of mucus drips down the back of the throat. If your baby is breastfeeding, drinking, eating and breathing normally and there is no wheezing, coughing is not usually a concern.
See your doctor if your child has a bad cough that doesn't stop. If your child has a fever and is unable to breathe, he or she may have an infection in the chest. If this is due to bacteria and not viruses, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to remove the disease. Antibiotics will not relieve or stop coughing directly.
If the cough persists for a long time, especially if it worsens at night or is caused by your child's running, it may be a sign of asthma. Children with asthma also experience wheezing or shortness of breath. If your child has any of these symptoms, take him to the doctor. If your child seems to have difficulty breathing, call your doctor, even if it is midnight.
Although it is worrisome to hear your child cough, coughing helps remove phlegm from the chest or mucus from the back of the throat.If your child is over the age of one year, try a warm drink of lemon and honey.
