<![CDATA[Coughs and colds are common in toddlers, as their immune systems are not yet fully developed, making them highly susceptible to viruses. Parents perception that coughs and colds are a normal occurrence in toddlers leads to less prompt and appropriate treatment. Common cold massage therapy can be performed independently by mothers. Many mothers do not know how to massage a baby with a common cold. This community service activity was conducted at the Integrated Health Service Post (Posyandu) in Selumit Village, Pantai, Central Tarakan, to increase mothers' knowledge and skills about coughs and colds, which can be treated not only pharmacologically but also non-pharmacologically, namely through common cold therapy. Participants in this activity were 11 mothers with babies/toddlers at the Integrated Health Service Post (Posyandu) in Selumit Village, Pantai, Central Tarakan, totaling 11 people. The methods used were lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. The evaluation results showed an increase in mothers knowledge about common cold massage. It is hoped that mothers can practice baby massage when their babies/toddlers experience a common cold. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers with toddlers who are experiencing coughs and colds can provide cough and cold therapy to their children.
