How to treat upper respiratory tract infection in children

Many people may not understand upper respiratory tract infection very well, but when it comes to colds, it is a disease that everyone knows. Colds are very common in our lives. Colds are contagious and affect a wide range of people. Spring and summer are the peak seasons for colds every year. Upper respiratory infection can cause a person's body temperature to rise and cause dry mouth and tongue, which makes people feel very uncomfortable, especially some children may cry. So how to treat upper respiratory tract infection in children?

1. When children are sleeping, pay attention to raising their upper body, especially the head, to alleviate breathing difficulties.

2. Spraying some air freshener in the house or letting children smell some cooling oil will help keep their nasal cavity clear.

3. Use a hot towel to wash the child’s face and apply a slightly hot compress to the bridge of the nose. This will help the mucus flow out more smoothly and the nasal cavity will feel refreshed.

4. When children have a cold, their nasal mucosa is already inflamed. If the inhaled air is dry, it will make the nasal cavity more uncomfortable, so the air in the room should be kept moist. You can also apply a little lubricant such as Vaseline to the child's nose and lips. Make sure children drink plenty of water.

5. Pay attention to changes in children's body temperature, measure their temperature, and take cooling measures if necessary.

6. Pay attention to the color of the mucus flowing out of the child's nasal cavity. If it is yellow secretion, it indicates that there is a secondary bacterial infection and the child should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

7. Do not give children medicine without checking with a doctor as soon as you see they have a runny nose.

How to treat upper respiratory tract infection in children? Looking at the introduction above, I believe young parents already know what is the best way to do it. If this happens, you should send your child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
