Differentiate the colds of other diseases

One of the reasons that children have frequent colds is that their immune systems are immature, making them more vulnerable to disease.

Your child can only develop immunity to one at a time of more than 200 viruses that cause the common cold. Just think of all the colds you've had in your life and your child will have all these and more for become immune to colds.

As your child grows, you may want to explore very much and touch everything, so it is easy for him to catch a cold virus in your hands. And all you have to do is put their fingers in their mouth or nose for the virus has a chance to start.

One concern of mothers is to be able to differentiate a cold from the flu or some other disease. And indeed it can be difficult, but if your child has a cold could have problem in your nose with clear mucus that may become thick and gray, yellow or green in the next week.

On the other hand, if your child has high fever accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting, it could indicate a viral illness. If your child has a fever, take care to be brought down, and if he plays and eats normally, possibly just a cold. But if it is still sick even after the fever is gone, possibly has something more serious and you have to take him to pediatrician.

The eyes and nose, watery red may indicate an allergy, as are the repeated attacks of sneezing and itching that lasts for weeks or months. Also, if the boogers are leaving your baby's nose clear, instead of becoming thick and change color as when they have a cold.
