Influenza:
Under this name is commonly known a catarrh of the nose or
" cold in the head," an affection to which infants are especially
susceptible. The condition may occur from any exposure to cold,
and is indicated first by the tendency of the child to take in breath
through the mouth rather than through the nose, and later by the
appearance of a watery discharge from the nostrils. There is
often considerable indisposition and even some fever, while the
local symptoms in the nose occasion both child and attendant
considerable annoyance. It not infrequently happens that influenza
will appear almost epidemic, a considerable number of cases being
affected in the same neighborhood at once.
Treatment-Should consist merely in a warm bath at night,
careful though not excessive clothing, and the application of some
oily material to the nostrils if the discharge be excessive and have
provoked soreness of the skin, and a drop of ipecac syrup, in
water, every hour or two.
