Why do babies keep getting colds?

Reason 1: Too much and too thick clothes Some parents feel a little cool, they are busy adding clothes to their children. In fact, it is not beneficial to give children too much clothing, because children’s body temperature is generally slightly higher than that of older people and adults, and the Yang fire is strong, and the amount of activity is large. If you don’t dry the sweat in time, it’s easy to catch a cold in the wind. The right medicine: the baby wears the same thickness or number of pieces of clothes as adults or slightly more than one, and if you sweat too much after the activity, you should dry it with a dry towel in time. Reason 2: Contact with infectious sources Mom and dad like to take their children to some large public places, such as supermarkets, amusement parks, zoos, etc. on weekends. These places are crowded and a source of cold infection. In addition, kindergartens, because of the closed room and poor air circulation, if a child has a cold, fever and cough, it is very easy to spread in this space. Prescribe the right remedy: go to less crowded public places. Kindergarten management should be in place, timely detection of children with colds, proper isolation, and children playing outside with water to wash their hands. Reason 3: taking cold medicine at will Some parents often give their children antiviral flush, plate blue root and other infused water as a drink, thinking that this avoids children drinking too much sugar and coloring drinks on the one hand, and improves the child’s resistance on the other. But in fact, for children, the healthiest drink is plain water, Chinese medicine is best not to drink indiscriminately, but should be more exercise, to enhance physical fitness, so as to improve resistance. The “right” medicine: often take children to the fresh air outdoor sports, drink more water, eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Reason 4: Wrong medicine The causes of children’s colds are various, Chinese medicine believes that colds are divided into wind-heat colds, wind-cold colds, summer humidity colds, etc.; Western medicine believes that bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and chlamydia infections can cause colds. Therefore, it is not advisable for parents to take medicine indiscriminately without knowing the cause of the illness. The “right” medicine: If your child’s cold does not heal repeatedly, you should consider viral and bacterial infections and other factors, and consult a doctor for them.
