Autumn and winter are the times when the weather is cold and haze is frequent. Whenever the air quality decreases, the air is filled with a large number of harmful molecules, people will breathe in a large amount of dust, dust mites, pollen, chemicals such as sulfur dioxide, mold, etc. These harmful substances constantly damage the respiratory mucosa. For babies, the respiratory mucosa is not fully developed, these small harmful particles easily enter the respiratory tract, irritating the mucosa, resulting in infection, pain, coughing and other symptoms, directly endangering the health status of children. How to take care of baby’s health during the haze is particularly important.
First of all, you should stay away from the haze, haze environment is easy to cause irritation to the respiratory tract, skin, eyes, etc., as soon as possible. At the same time close the doors and windows, if you encounter hazy weather, to close the doors and windows tightly to avoid pollution of the indoor environment where you live. In addition, the humidifier can be used to properly humidify the air, the increased temperature in the air helps some floating toxic particles to land, it also reduces the harmful substances in the air inhaled by children when breathing. If available, air purifiers can be used to filter some of the particles in the air to reduce the chances of children suffering from respiratory diseases as a result.
If the air quality turns good, children should be allowed to exercise more to help boost their immune system. However, if it is a hazy day, this will not only not help, but will also harm the child’s health. You should drink more water and go out less on hazy days, preferably not in the early morning or at dusk, and you should also reduce the amount of outdoor exercise. This is because the breathing rate is accelerated during exercise, and the frequency of inhaling harmful particles increases, making children more likely to have respiratory problems. If you go outside, wear a protective mask (N95 level).
In addition, a nasal wash can be performed. Nasal washing is useful when air pollution is severe. However, too much washing may affect the normal balance in the nasal cavity, so nasal washing should not be too frequent. Once a day in the morning and once a day in the evening is enough when the air pollution is serious. Parents must be present to guide and supervise children when washing their noses to prevent improper washing.
Haze damage to the eyes The main ingredients of haze are physical substances such as dust, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and chemical particles in the air, which can easily irritate the eye mucosa and cause non-infectious inflammation. The general manifestation is eye redness and slight stinging pain, sometimes itchy eyes, and individual severe cases of photophobia and tearing symptoms are more obvious. Some people are prone to dry eyes, which can be dry and painful. For haze weather, we all know to choose to wear a mask to defend the haze on the respiratory system caused by the damage, but in fact, the eye mucous membrane system is also very sensitive to dust and chemicals, etc., so the defense is not only the respiratory system, and the windows of our hearts, more need to protect, mainly the following points: 1, away from the haze: haze environment is easy to cause irritation to the eyes, to get away from the haze as soon as possible.
