Can children take a hot bath when they have a cold?

Children are a group that is very prone to catching colds, which are accompanied by many symptoms, such as coughing, runny nose, dizziness, headache, etc. At this time, the child's body temperature should be closely monitored, and parents should learn to judge the severity of the child's cold, and then adopt scientific treatment methods, and pay attention to relevant matters in life. So can children with colds take a hot bath?

Can children take a hot bath when they have a cold?

Yes, the temperature can be slightly higher. Do not allow cold wind to blow in when taking a bath. After taking a bath, be sure to keep warm.

1. Children are prone to catching colds, which is first of all related to the physiological and anatomical characteristics of their bodies and the immaturity of their immune systems.

1. Children's nasal cavity is narrow, the mucosa is tender, the mucosal glands secrete insufficiently and are relatively dry. They have poor adaptability and resistance to the external environment and are prone to inflammation.

2. Premature babies, children with congenital defects or diseases, such as heart and lung failure, and especially those with congenital immune diseases, may catch a cold if there is any mistake in care.

Second, it is also related to improper feeding methods of parents. A "popularization survey on children's nutrition knowledge" conducted on 157 parents showed that only 10.2% of them understood general parenting nutrition knowledge. Because children grow and develop quickly, those children who are fed artificially due to lack of breast milk, as well as those who are too spoiled, picky eaters, or anorexic, may suffer from malnutrition or unbalanced nutrition, which may cause varying degrees of iron deficiency, calcium deficiency, or insufficient intake of vitamins and protein.

Small folk remedies to treat baby colds:

1. Soak your feet in ginger

When your baby has a stuffy nose in the early stages of a cold, you can place slightly scalded ginger powder on the soles of his feet when he goes to bed at night. This can help his nose breathe unobstructed and the cold heal faster. Method: Cut the ginger into shreds and fry in a dry pan until it is dry and the ginger aroma comes out (it’s okay if it’s a little mushy). Put the fried shredded ginger into a small gauze bag and then stick the gauze bag with the slightly hot shredded ginger on the soles of the baby’s feet. (Be sure not to make the ginger too hot to avoid scalding your baby.)

2. Hot smoking of chopped green onion

If your baby has a stuffy nose due to a cold, you can soak some scallion in water, cut the scallion into shreds (to make it easier to absorb the flavor), put it into boiling water, and fumigate the baby's mouth and nose while it's hot. This method is very effective for babies with nasal congestion caused by cold.

3. Wash your nose with salt water

Mothers can use cold boiled water with salt, wet a small cotton swab, and clean the baby's nasal cavity. Be gentle when cleaning. Cleaning every day can relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion.
