How to take care of children with cold and fever

When children have a cold or fever, they need proper care from their parents. First of all, they should be given enough rest and sleep time, and they should be given water in time to avoid dehydration, and food should be prepared for them in a reasonable and healthy way.

Home care methods for children with fever 1: Pay attention to your baby's sleep and rest

Fever will consume the baby's energy, and at this time, the baby's body's energy is needed to fight the disease. Sufficient sleep and rest can help babies reduce their body energy consumption. When a child has a fever, parents should pay attention to his spirit, body temperature, complexion, etc., maintain a quiet room environment, and create a comfortable sleeping and resting space for the baby.

Home care method for children with fever 2: replenish water in time

In fact, we all know that during fever and cold, the human body needs to drink more water to help detoxify the body. In fact, the same is true for caring for children with fever. Parents can feed the baby more water appropriately. It should be noted that although 90% of breast milk is water, children with fever need to replenish water to help dissipate the accumulated heat in the baby's body. Therefore, whether the baby is breastfed or mixed-fed, water is needed during the fever. If the baby has already added complementary foods, then drinking watermelon juice, pear juice and other vegetable and fruit juices to replenish water and increase or decrease vitamin intake is also a good choice.

Home care methods for children with fever 3: Diet adjustment

If the baby is still in the breastfeeding stage at this time, he still needs to supplement breast milk normally. It should be noted that the child may have no appetite during the fever. The mother can feed the child in small amounts and multiple times. At the same time, as mentioned above, increase the water supplement appropriately.
