Colds, coughs and ear infections in children
Children's colds
It's normal for a child to have 8 or more colds a year.
This is because there are hundreds of different cold viruses and young children have no immunity to any of them as they have never had them before.
They gradually build up immunity and get fewer colds.
Most colds get better in 5 to 7 days but can take up to 2 weeks in small children.
Here are some suggestions for how to ease the symptoms in your child:
- Make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids.
- Saline nose drops can help loosen dried snot and relieve a stuffy nose.
