  https://www.childrens.com/health-wellness/common-cold-in-babies

  There’s nothing common about a cold when a newborn or infant has one. The congestion, coughing and low-grade fever that can accompany a cold is enough to make even the most seasoned parents worry. Babies will have anywhere from eight to 10 colds by the time they turn 2 years old. As a parent, you may feel more comfortable and confident when you’re able to quickly recognize the signs of a common cold and know which remedies help ease symptoms. […] Signs of a common cold in babies are mostly the same as they are in adults. Symptoms can include a runny nose, nasal congestion, cough and fever. However, symptoms are different for each child. […] „Babies may not be able to tell their parents they’re sick, but they show other signs that something is not quite right,” says Michael Lee, M.D., Pediatrician at Children’s Health and Professor at UT Southwestern. „A lack of interest in feeding may be a sign of a sore throat; more frequent waking at night may signal congestion. Parents can take note of these signs, along with the more traditional symptoms, to start to recognize when their child is getting a cold.”
