  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold-in-babies/symptoms-causes/syc-20351651

  A common cold in a baby is a viral infection in the nose and throat. […] The best defense against the common cold is using common sense and washing hands often. […] Keep babies away from people who are sick. Don’t let anyone who’s sick visit a newborn. If possible, don’t use public transportation, such as buses, and don’t go to places where there are a lot of people. […] Wash your hands before feeding or touching the baby. Wash hands well and often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. […] Clean baby toys and pacifiers often. Clean surfaces that people touch. This is especially important if someone who spends time with the baby has a cold. […] Teach everyone in the house to cough or sneeze into a tissue. Throw away used tissues right away. If you have no tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow. Then wash hands well. […] Know your child care center. Look for a child care setting that makes sick children stay home. And look for one that has other ways of keeping children well, such as regular hand-washing and surface cleaning.

  Good hand hygiene is the most effective and practical way to prevent URIs in children and adults. The use of hand sanitizer is more protective than hand washing and is associated with shorter duration of symptoms and fewer school absences. Washing hands several times per day for at least 15 to 30 seconds can help prevent illness. Regular soap is as effective as antibacterial soap. […] Interventions with limited or no effectiveness for the prevention of the common cold include ginseng and echinacea, adenovirus vaccination, vitamin C or D, probiotics, and water gargles. […] Over-the-counter cold medications should not be used in children younger than four years because of potential harms and lack of benefit. The use of hand sanitizer or hand washing is the most effective way to prevent the common cold.

  Unfortunately, you can’t prevent every cold, especially during the winter months when these viruses often circulate. But you can lower your baby’s risk of getting sick with these tips: […] Ask anyone who’s sick to stay away from your home. […] Keep your baby away from crowded places where there are lots of germs. […] Wash your hands often during the day. Ask anyone who holds your baby to also wash their hands. […] Clean your baby’s toys often with soap and water. […] Don’t let anyone use your baby’s cup, utensils, or towels. […] Tell older children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow, instead of into the air. […] Don’t let anyone smoke near your child. Cigarette smoke can make your baby more likely to get sick.

• #1 Prevention and treatment of the common cold: making sense of the evidence

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3928210/

  The common cold is an acute, self-limiting viral infection of the upper respiratory tract involving the nose, sinuses, pharynx and larynx. The virus is spread by hand contact with secretions from an infected person (direct or indirect) or aerosol of the secretions and virus. Symptoms, which generally relate to the infected mucosa, typically peak at 13 days and last 710 days, although they occasionally persist for three weeks. The incidence of the common cold declines with age. Children under two years have about six infections a year, adults two to three and older people about one per year. Attendance at a daycare centre increases the risk among preschool children. […] We review the evidence underpinning preventive and treatment interventions for the common cold. […] Preventive therapies are summarized in Table 1. Physical intervention, such as handwashing, use of alcohol-based hand disinfectant, gloves, and masks, has been shown to reduce the risk of getting or spreading upper respiratory tract infections. Zinc appears to be effective in reducing the number of colds per year, at least in children. Probiotics may be helpful in preventing upper respiratory tract infections, but the interventions and evidence are inconsistent. Gargling with water may help reduce episodes of upper respiratory tract infection. […] The best evidence for the prevention of the common cold supports physical interventions (e.g., handwashing) and possibly the use of zinc supplements.

  Keep all of the child’s immunizations up to date, including: […] Annual influenza (flu) vaccine (children aged six months and older) […] COVID-19 vaccine (children aged six months and older) […] Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) monoclonal antibody shot (timing determined by the following): […] – During an infant’s first week of life if born during RSV season and birthing parent did not receive an RSV vaccination at least 14 days before delivery […] – Upon entering first RSV season if not born during RSV season and less than eight months old […] – Greater than eight months old at increased risk of severe RSV disease and did not receive immunizing shot on time […] – Children 8 to 19 months old at increased risk of severe RSV disease upon entering their second RSV season […] Evidence suggests that children who received a flu vaccine in the current flu season and were infected with COVID-19 were less likely to have symptoms and severe disease. Similarly, children who completed their pneumococcal vaccine series (sample brand name: Prevnar) were less likely to have symptoms when infected with COVID-19. The RSV monoclonal antibody shot reduces the risk of severe RSV infection by approximately 80 percent.

  Maternal RSV vaccination during pregnancy at 32 to 36 weeks causes the mother’s body to make antibodies against RSV that then pass on to the baby. This provides protection against RSV infection and reduces the risk of hospitalization due to RSV infection during the first six months of life by 57 percent. […] Isolate children with symptomatic respiratory infections (including known or suspected COVID-19, flu, and RSV infection) according to local and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. Current recommendations include: […] – Stay at home for at least 24 hours after symptoms are improving and no fever is present (without fever-reducing medication) […] – For the next five days, wear a mask, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or sneeze into your elbow when you don’t have a tissue, and wash your hands frequently […] Using a household cleaner that kills viruses, such as phenol/alcohol (sample brand name: Lysol), may help to reduce viral transmission.

  Breastfeeding your baby can help boost their immunity. Even small amounts of breast milk supplemented with formula can help. This is especially true of antibody-rich colostrum, the first type of breast milk you produce when your baby is born. […] You cant keep your baby in a hermetically sealed environment. But you can help avoid exposure to some germs using the following guidelines: Wash your hands often and ask visitors to do the same. Avoid contact with people who are ill, and wipe down surfaces that have been touched by people who are coughing or sneezing. Ask people who come into contact with your baby to cough or sneeze into their elbows, rather than into their hands. If possible, limit your babys contact with older children. Make sure the adults and children around your newborn are current on their pertussis vaccine and have received the flu shot.

[…] Ask guests who have been sick to hold off on visiting until they no longer have symptoms and have been fever-free (without using a fever-reducing medication) for at least 24 hours. […] „A lot of germs are carried on your hands,” Dr. Zaoutis says. So scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds every time you come in from a public place, use the bathroom, eat, or change a diaper. […] According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), breastfeeding can protect babies from ear infections and stomach bugs. […] Germs can live for hours on things like shopping carts and door handles. […] Babies see a health care provider a lot during the first year. Dr. Jackson says that even if an office has separate sick and well rooms, waiting rooms are filled with germs.

  Prophylactic probiotics, zinc sulfate, nasal saline irrigation, and the herbal preparation Chizukit reduce the incidence of colds in children. […] Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, alone or combined with Bifidobacterium animalis, taken by healthy children during the winter may reduce day care absences; the incidence of fever, cough, and rhinorrhea; and the use of antibiotics. […] A Cochrane review showed a 13 percent decrease in cold symptoms in children who took 1 g of vitamin C daily before illness, although optimal duration of treatment to achieve these benefits is unknown. […] Zinc sulfate used prophylactically for at least five months reduces the incidence of viral colds, absences from school, and antibiotic use in children. […] The herbal preparation Chizukit decreased the number of cold episodes, the number of days the child was ill, and the number of days the child missed school. […] Nasal irrigation with saline as a preventive measure in children is better than standard treatment for multiple cold symptoms. Overall, the treatment decreases illness and nasal secretions, improving nasal breathing.

  It’s normal for healthy children to get at least 6 colds a year. This is because there are so many viruses that cause colds. With each new cold, your child’s body builds up immunity to that virus. […] Most parents know when their child has a cold. Sometimes, they have it too or other children in school have it. Most often, you don’t need to call or see your child’s doctor. You do need to call your child’s doctor if your child develops a complication. Examples are an earache or if the symptoms last too long. […] The normal cold lasts about 2 weeks. There are no drugs to make it go away sooner. […] But, there are good ways to help many of the symptoms. […] Don’t give any drugstore cold or cough medicines to young children. They are not approved by the FDA under 6 years. Reasons: not safe and can cause serious side effects. Also, they are not helpful. They can’t remove dried mucus from the nose. Nasal saline works best. […] Antibiotics are not helpful for colds. Antibiotics may be used if your child gets an ear or sinus infection. […] For practical purposes, the spread of colds can’t be prevented. […] It’s safe to fly when your child has a cold. […] Flying will not cause an ear infection.

Hands should be wet with water and plain soap, and rubbed together for 15 to 30 seconds. It is not necessary to use antibacterial hand soap. Teach children to wash their hands before and after eating and after coughing or sneezing. […] Alcohol-based hand rubs are a good alternative for disinfecting hands if a sink is not available. Hand rubs should be spread over the entire surface of hands, fingers, and wrists until dry and may be used several times. These rubs can be used repeatedly without skin irritation or loss of effectiveness. […] It may be difficult or impossible to completely avoid people who are ill, although caregivers should try to limit direct contact.

  For babies under 3 months old, the best way to prevent colds is to keep them away from people who have one. This is especially true during the winter, when more people are sick with viruses. A virus that causes a mild illness in an older child or an adult can cause a more serious one in an infant. […] Teach your child to sneeze or cough away from others, into the crook of their elbow or shoulder. Even using a tissue (and putting it in the trash right away) or handkerchief is better than having your child cover their mouth with their hand when sneezing or coughing. If the virus lands on their hand, it can spread to whatever they touch—a sibling, a friend or a toy. […] Everyone should be encouraged to wash their hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. This can help stop colds and other viruses from spreading.
