A. True of what your elders are saying the baby can catch cold of you have cold food but citrus fruits are good they don't have any harm bit remember mom this is my personal experience that whatever you eat goes to the baby through your milk so be conscious and careful while eating.

A. Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion it may be a part of allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examinatyrion. steam inhalation will be beneficial in both the cases along with decongestant medicine like alex cold/ hatric 3/ sinarest. As a part of viral illness there could be associated symptoms like cough and fever which needs treatment accordingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintained .
