When your child has a cold, he often has a runny or stuffy nose. He may also have a fever, sore throat, cough, or hoarseness.
Viruses cause most colds.
You can expect a healthy child to get about 6 colds a year. Watch for other infections. Your child could also have an earache, sinus pain, or yellow discharge from the eyes. Your child could also have a hard time breathing. If your child has a lot of clear discharge from the nose, it may not be a good idea to blow his nose.
