What medicine should children take to prevent colds?

To prevent children from catching a cold, it does not mean that they must take any medicine, because who would take medicine if they are not sick with a cold? In fact, the more important thing is to pay attention to some preventive work in life, especially when the weather is relatively cold, pay attention to keeping warm to prevent children from catching cold. Also, when the temperature changes greatly, pay attention to adding or removing clothes for children and pay attention to their healthy diet.

1. Warmth is the best policy

In the real winter, parents will not let their babies get cold, but in spring and autumn, they often don’t know the right way to dress, and are afraid of getting too hot if they wear too much, or too cold if they wear too little. Some parents think that if they let their babies be tougher from a young age and don't take too much care of them, their resistance will be better. In fact, this is wrong. The reason why babies often catch colds is often because they catch cold. Therefore, when it comes to dressing, it is better to keep warm. When sleeping, try not to let your baby's head face the door, window or other air vents to avoid catching a cold. When bathing, the situation is just the opposite. It is not recommended to use overheated water, because after a hot water bath, the baby will have to endure a large temperature difference and will be more likely to catch a cold. The closer the water temperature is to the baby's body temperature, the easier it is for the baby to adapt to the ambient temperature after bathing.

2. Ginger Cola

Wash the fresh ginger, peel it, and cut it into small strips. Clean the cooking pot, put in a bottle of Coca-Cola, and boil it together with the ginger strips. The general ratio of ginger to cola for adults is 1:100, and the ratio can be adjusted as appropriate for babies. After it cools down, add appropriate amount of rock sugar or white sugar and give your baby 1 small bowl each time. Drink two to three times a week.

The amount to give your baby can be determined based on his size. Babies under 1 year old can try a few teaspoons, babies over 1 year old can drink from the bottom of a small teacup or bowl, and babies over 2 years old can drink more than half a bowl.

Determine the ratio of shredded ginger and sugar according to the baby's taste. Babies under one year old cannot tolerate spicy food, so you can put less shredded ginger and more sugar.

3. Make your own breakfast

No matter how stressful your life is or how busy your work is, if you want to keep your baby away from colds, you must let your baby eat a good breakfast. Many parents believe that breakfast does not need to be as grand as lunch and dinner; the simpler the better. This view is totally wrong! Because only by eating a good breakfast can the baby's body produce enough heat to increase its ability to resist cold.
