In autumn, the temperature changes greatly, the baby ushered in the annual “disease prone period”, mothers and fathers also began for the baby’s health “big battle”. So, what are the common diseases of babies in autumn? Mom and dad should do what prevention work? A. Cold: to carry, or not to carry? The common cold does not need to take medicine. “Take medicine for seven days, do not take medicine for a week.” Yes, this is the “characteristics” of the common cold, although the baby will have a stuffy nose, runny nose, low fever, diarrhea and other symptoms, very uncomfortable, but the course of the disease is generally only 7 to 14 days. So if you meet a doctor who does not prescribe medicine, but only tells you to drink more water, rest more and recommends follow-up, don’t doubt his responsibility! So, without medication, what can we do? 1. Drink more water. Month-old babies can also try fruit juice, vegetable juice, rehydration salts, you can change different containers to attract babies to drink a little more is a little. 2, use saline spray to deal with nasal congestion, runny nose. Baby nasal congestion will be more uncomfortable than adults, because TA will not blow the nose, then you can try saline spray, no side effects, and even if the spray to the eyes will not be a problem. It is important to seek normal medical attention for influenza. Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease with a different etiology than the common cold, and the reaction to the disease is more acute and violent, and the possibility of complications is greater. Babies with low body resistance are the key target of the flu virus. Sometimes influenza resembles the common cold and is difficult to distinguish from it. However, in general, the onset of the flu is faster and the illness is a bit more severe. In addition to symptoms such as cough, nasal congestion and runny nose, there may be fever, chills, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, serious illnesses such as pneumonia. Therefore, when your baby has the flu, mom and dad must not be careless and must seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Bronchitis caused by complex days Bronchitis is usually caused by viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Babies with bronchitis will cry loudly and have phlegm sounds. When the baby is irritable, the cough will intensify and the wheezing sounds will become loud. If yellowish-white sputum is present it means that the baby has developed a secondary bacterial infection. In addition, if the baby’s body temperature changes too quickly, inhalation of irritants such as smoke, pollen and wool can cause bronchial infections in babies. For babies with bronchitis, parents should do a good job of daily care in addition to feeding them the medication as ordered by the doctor: 1. Add or subtract clothes for your baby in time with the temperature change, especially for sleeping babies, and cover them well. 2. Feed your baby more water. The baby has different degrees of fever and evaporation of water, so you should pay attention to feeding the baby more water. The diet is mainly semi-liquid to increase body water and meet the needs of the body. 3. Keep the nutrition adequate. The baby is suffering from bronchitis when the nutrient consumption, coupled with fever and bacterial toxins affect the gastrointestinal function, digestion and malabsorption, so the lack of nutrition in the baby is not negligible. This is why parents should take a small number of meals for their babies and give them a light, nutritious, balanced and easy to digest and absorb semi-liquid or liquid diet. 4. Turn your baby over and pat his back. When baby coughs and coughs up phlegm, it indicates the increase of secretion in the bronchus. To promote the smooth discharge of secretion, nebulizer inhaler can be used to help expectorant, 2-3 times a day for 5-20 minutes each time. In case of infants, in addition to patting the back, you should also help turn the baby over once every 1-2 hours to keep the baby in a semi-recumbent position, which is favorable to the discharge of sputum. 5, timely help baby fever. If the temperature is below 38.5℃, there is no need to give antipyretic drugs, but to treat the cause of the problem. If the temperature is high, older children can be given physical cooling, that is, a cold towel head wet compress or a warm water bath, but young children should not use this method, if necessary, the application of drugs to lower the temperature. 6, to provide a good family environment. The baby’s living room should be warm, well ventilated and lit, and the air should have a certain humidity to prevent excessive dryness. If there are smokers at home, it is best to quit smoking or go outside to prevent the adverse effects of smoke on the baby. Three, rotavirus caused by fall diarrhea fall and winter diarrhea is the culprit is rotavirus. This virus generally has an incubation period of one to three days in the baby’s body. At the onset of the disease, most babies will show some symptoms similar to the flu and other respiratory infections, such as runny nose, fever, etc. Some of them are also accompanied by vomiting symptoms. Within 12 to 24 hours after the onset of these symptoms, the baby will start to have diarrhea, with stools like water or egg white, mostly without a special fishy smell, up to a dozen times a day. Therefore, parents should never be lax about diarrhea. When a baby has diarrhea, you should not immediately give your baby antibacterial anti-inflammatory drugs. Because for autumn diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection, taking antimicrobials not only has no effect at all, but may cause disorders in the baby’s intestinal flora, leading to more serious diarrhea. Therefore, when your baby has just started to have diarrhea, your mother only needs to do a good job of feeding your baby and taking oral rehydration. In addition to nutrition, oral rehydration (saline) should follow the principle of “little and often”. The mother must be patient and spoon feed her baby 10ml-20ml every 6-8 minutes to help relieve the pain of dehydration. In addition, to prevent diarrhea in babies, you should pay attention to the following points: ① Pay attention to hygiene. ②Add supplementary food with care. Disinfect dishes and utensils before use. ④Pay attention to food placement. ⑤ Keep the air fresh. ⑥Do not chew food for your baby. ⑦ Don’t touch other babies with diarrhea.

The main symptoms are continuous sneezing, nasal itching, nasal congestion, and clear water-like nasal discharge, which can be accompanied by headache. If left unchecked, it can lead to complications such as sinusitis, adenoiditis, otitis media, pharyngitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, and intractable headaches. When your baby suffers from rhinitis, mothers should master the following life conditioning methods: 1, runny nose such as yellow turbidity, it is appropriate to eat a light diet, do not eat hot and spicy fried food; if the nasal runny nose, pale face, it is more body weakness, do not eat too bitter cold, cold, can be appropriate warm tonic, in order to strengthen the body, conducive to the improvement of the condition. 2, drink more plain water and juice to soften the nasal secretions.

People are used to using handkerchiefs or paper towels to pinch the double nostrils of small children to blow their noses, which can cause snot to flow backwards into the sinuses, so that bacteria infect the sinuses and suffer from sinusitis. The correct method is: block one side of the nostril, respectively, one by one to blow the nose clean. 4, indoor ventilation often, pay attention to home hygiene, avoid allergens, such as mites, pollen, etc. Avoid your baby’s contact with dust, mites, fungi and other allergens, such as do not let your baby close to cats, dogs and other pets, do not take your baby to places where flowers and trees are abundant, not to mention picking and smelling flowers and plants. 5, often take your baby to outdoor activities, to develop a good habit of washing their face and hands with cold water, to improve the body’s ability to adapt to external climate change and resistance. Five, dry skin aggravates allergic dermatitis The amount of animal dander, various pollen and dust contained in the air in autumn has increased greatly, and the baby’s resistance to allergies is still very weak, it is easy to occur atopic dermatitis. Symptoms in infancy are manifested by dry, red, peeling skin on the cheeks, which then extends to the face, neck, wrists, hands, abdomen and limbs.
