Into the fall, the weather is gradually turning cooler, the morning out of the downstairs to see some of the little baby has been wearing three layers of warmth, which …… This is too much, is afraid of the baby catching a cold? I’m messed up …… How to prevent baby colds in the fall? When the seasons change, the temperature difference between morning and evening is big, the baby resistance is weak easier to catch a cold, so parents need to be more careful care. 1, the alternation of seasons into the fall, the temperature difference in the day, often the morning and evening cool, noon hot, the sun burns people. If you don’t add or subtract clothing for your child in a timely manner, it will result in uneven heating and cooling, making him or her susceptible to catching a cold. In the change of seasons, increase or decrease your child’s clothing as the weather changes, and your child’s chances of catching a cold will be greatly reduced. When the weather changes from warm to cold, do not rush to add clothes to your child. The best thing to do is to wear the same thickness of clothes as the child, and if the parent does not feel cold when sitting in meditation, the child will not be cold. It is important to realize that although the child is not as hardy as an adult, he is always in motion. Don’t cover up too much, even if he is asleep. Plan to add or subtract clothing for your child according to the weather forecast for the day, temperature changes, and how the parents feel. Don’t just do whatever you want and dress your child in whatever you want. 2. At bedtime Babies don’t kick the covers because they are naughty. The child will naturally kick the quilt when it is hot to sleep. Before going to bed, the mother is afraid that he is cold, cover thicker, while the baby may sweat. In the second half of the night, the temperature drops, the mother also fell asleep, the baby kicked the quilt, this time the most vulnerable to cold and flu. It is best not to let your baby sleep in knitted underwear or thicker pajamas. If you wear pajamas to bed, your baby will be more stable and less likely to kick the covers off. The more you wear, the more uncomfortable your baby will be and the more he or she will kick the covers, which will cause him or her to catch a cold. If your baby has just woken up from a nap, you should not carry him/her outdoors right away, but let him/her move around indoors for a while first. When sleeping during the day, you should also take off your coat, cover it with a thin quilt, and then put your coat back on when you wake up. 3, appropriate outdoor activities The weather turned cold, parents are afraid of the baby cold, it greatly reduces the baby’s outdoor activities time, in fact, this is wrong. Let the baby in the outdoor activities is to enhance the baby’s ability to adapt to the environment a good time. It is generally recommended that babies under the age of 1, 2-3 times a day in the windless days out of the activity, each time about 10 minutes. 1 year old baby activities every day for about 1 hour, two years old and above the baby outdoor activities every day for about 2 hours, you can greatly reduce the incidence of cold. 4, balanced nutrition Pay attention to balanced nutrition and dietary hygiene, give your baby more light, easy to digest and rich in vitamins fruits and vegetables, pay attention to replenish water. How to deal with baby’s autumn cold? Because cold is a self-limiting disease, even without treatment, it usually gets better in about a week, so the most important treatment for cold is symptomatic treatment, the purpose is to make the child feel less uncomfortable, not to prevent the condition from worsening or to make the cold get better faster. It is also incorrect to think that you should take medicine as soon as cold symptoms appear to “nip the cold in the bud”. Only when the symptoms bother the child, such as affecting sleep, eating, feeling uncomfortable, only need to treat the symptoms. Coughing is a physiological reflex triggered by airway irritation that clears secretions from the airways. If the cough is severe or lasts longer than expected (e.g., it has not improved for more than 2 weeks, or even worsened), you should not try to control the cough, but rather see a doctor to find out the cause of the cough. If a fever makes your child uncomfortable, take an oral antipyretic medication, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. When taking the medication, please refer to the instructions for the weight dose ratio of the medication, such as how many kilograms of body weight should be taken how many doses, rather than referring to the age dose ratio of the medication. Most cold and flu combinations have antipyretic ingredients, which can lead to overdose if the antipyretic is taken orally. Therefore, it is still emphasized that it is not recommended to use cold medicine casually. 3. Runny nose and nasal congestion Nasal congestion may affect your baby’s sleep and eating. Removing snot with a nasal aspirator, using nasal drops or nasal saline spray (older children can use nasal saline to wash their noses), and drinking plenty of boiled water are safe and will improve your baby’s stuffy nose. Nasal congestion is more pronounced when lying down. If your baby is having trouble sleeping because of nasal congestion, it may be more comfortable to hold him or her up for a while. Keeping the humidity in the room at 40 to 60 percent, which is good for nasal congestion and coughing, may also help reduce the spread of colds. Many parents also use humidifiers, which should be cleaned carefully, as humid humidification trays are prone to growing bacteria and mold. Parents should be careful to take steps to prevent colds in general. Colds are a self-healing disease that can get better on its own. Parents should be able to treat the symptoms calmly without panicking and try to make the baby as comfortable as possible; watch carefully for any other conditions that may be a cause for concern, and seek medical attention when necessary.
