Prevention and care of baby's cough, sneezing and runny nose

In fact, babies have relatively low immunity, so we must pay attention to keeping them warm and pay attention to their hygiene. Otherwise, it is likely that the baby will cough, sneeze and have a runny nose. Let us now learn about the prevention and care of babies' coughing, sneezing and runny nose.

Preventive Care:

Colds are a common disease among children. Once your child catches a cold, don't panic. Young mothers, please listen to the advice of pediatric experts first!

Early treatment is particularly important for colds, as it can speed up recovery and prevent further development of the disease.

Under the guidance of a doctor, choose some safe and effective OTC medicines for children, and ensure that your child gets enough sleep and drinks as much water as possible while taking the medicine. If the child is less than 3 months old or has a body temperature above 39 degrees, he or she must immediately take pediatric antipyretic medicine and then go to the hospital for treatment to prevent convulsions.

How to take care of your baby when he has a cold?

It is very important to take care of a child with a cold. In addition to ensuring rest and sleep, you should also pay attention to many aspects:

1. During the cold and fever period, you should prepare some liquid food for your baby, preferably food that is easily digestible and high in vitamins C and A.

2. The room should be kept as quiet as possible, with proper ventilation, no smoking, and the temperature and humidity should be kept constant and appropriate.

3. Children’s clothes should be appropriate and should be made of cotton to facilitate heat dissipation.

4. Keep the child's nasal cavity unobstructed, clean the nasal secretions in time, and keep the area around the nostrils clean. If necessary, you can use Vaseline, paraffin oil, etc. to apply the mucous membrane of the nose and the skin under the nose to reduce the irritation caused by secretions.

How to help babies prevent colds?

1. Let your children develop the habit of washing their hands frequently and avoid rubbing their eyes and noses with dirty hands.

2. You should exercise more often, do more outdoor activities, get more sun exposure, and improve your cold resistance.

3. Don’t wear too many clothes. Wearing too thick clothes will cause you to sweat easily and catch a cold once you get cold.

4. Feed your baby properly, add complementary foods in a timely manner, avoid partial or picky eating, and ensure adequate nutrition.

5. When the climate changes, pay attention to adding or removing clothes. In winter and spring when respiratory diseases are prevalent, try not to take children to crowded public places to reduce the chance of illness.

6. If someone in your family has a cold, you should avoid contact with them and make sure to ventilate the room.

The above article has given you a detailed introduction to the prevention and care of babies' coughing, sneezing and runny nose. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
