The respiratory rate will become higher, and there will be difficulty breathing, open-mouth breathing, and nasal flapping. It is important to provide your baby with adequate nutrition, increase protein intake, eat more vegetables and fruits to ensure balanced nutrition. Enhance physical exercise, participate in more outdoor activities, and breathe fresh air, which can exercise the function of the lungs. When the weather changes, increase or decrease clothing in a timely manner, pay attention to keeping your child warm to avoid upper respiratory tract infections caused by alternating hot and cold.
