What should I do if my 1-year-old child has a cold and fever?

Every baby is the most beloved one in the hearts of mom and dad. From the moment our baby is born, the mother’s entire life is dependent on her baby, and everything is done with her baby as the first consideration. Therefore, because of this, whenever a baby is sick, parents will take care of and care for the baby all the time. If the child catches a cold or has a cough, the parents will be very worried. Next, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the problem of colds.

New method 1: Supplement with probiotics

A US study showed that daily probiotic supplementation for 6 months in children aged 3 to 5 years old can effectively reduce the incidence of fever, runny nose, cough and the use of antibiotics. Even if you have a cold, it can relieve symptoms and shorten the course of the illness. The live bacteria preparations commonly used internationally include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are mostly added to milk.

New method 2: Do chest rubbing exercise

Chest rubbing is a way to improve immunity. Rubbing the chest can activate the thymus cells of infants and young children, making them active and increasing the secretion of thymosin. Thymosin can improve the immunity of infants and young children.

The method of chest rubbing is: the child sits or lies on his back, and the parent presses the right palm on the child's sternum, and pushes up and down with moderate force, one up and one down counts as one time, and rub 15 to 30 times in total. Do it once every day when you wake up and before going to bed at night.

New Law 3: Avoid Passive Smoking

Studies have shown that passive smoking can weaken the respiratory function of infants and young children because smoke contains toxic substances such as cyanide, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein that can damage the cilia of the respiratory system.

The ciliary tissue of the respiratory tract clears away foreign matter, making infants and young children susceptible to respiratory diseases. Nicotine in cigarettes can also suppress the immune function of infants and young children and increase susceptibility to respiratory diseases. Therefore, in order to effectively prevent and treat respiratory tract infections in infants and young children, it is necessary to prevent infants and young children from passive smoking as much as possible from the time the mother is pregnant, throughout the breastfeeding period and the entire early childhood.

The above are the symptoms and causes of children’s colds. After reading this, do you feel a little more enlightened about this issue? People are often the most vulnerable, weakest and most in need of care and concern during their early childhood. Therefore, every mother must take good care of her baby. You must be extra careful and cautious with common minor illnesses like colds and fevers, and keep your children healthy and plump.
