Once the baby has a cold, the whole family is followed by anxiety, either busy to add clothes to the baby, or ideas to feed cold and cough medicine …… In fact, parents in the care of the baby with a cold, many practices are wrong. To sum up, parents mainly have the following four misconceptions: a. After a cold and fever to wear more clothes to cover Many parents believe that the child’s sweat out, the cold is good. In fact, children under 3 years old are weak in their own thermoregulation, especially when they have a cold and fever, the body surface temperature is higher. What parents need to do at this time is to help the child to dissipate heat, to ensure that the temperature down is the key. On the contrary, if the cover is too tight at this time, the child is easy to deflate. Therefore, after the autumn cooling to add clothing to the child in a timely manner, once the cold, especially after the fever, but do not add clothes to the child. Coughing is a self-protective reaction of the human body. If your child coughs twice, it does not affect eating and sleeping, so you can drink more water. If coughing affects normal sleep or if coughing after a meal can cause vomiting, you should consider taking cough medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Third, children can reduce the amount of adult cold Chinese medicine can often see some parents, to the baby to take adult cold punch, fever capsules and other Chinese medicine, parents think that as long as a little reduction in the dose on the line. I do not know, because children’s liver and kidneys and other metabolic organs are not fully developed, adults can use the drug, may not be safe for children, the same for Chinese medicine. Not only does it affect the efficacy, but it can also damage the child’s health. Fourth, there is a heavy nasal sound is a cold young children under 3 years old, gasping for air can often be heard in the nose purring sound, similar to the symptoms of adults after a cold, many mothers think that the baby has a cold. In fact, this is just a manifestation of excessive accumulation of secretions in the baby’s nasal cavity, which affects breathing. Babies are poor in self-care and do not clean up their nasal secretions at any time, so parents should get into the habit of helping their babies clean their nasal passages every day.
