Why does my baby not like to eat after catching a cold?

When seasons change, colds are our favorite ailment, especially in spring. In the early spring when the weather is changeable and the temperature is still cold, colds seem to be particularly fond of babies. This leaves many young mothers helpless. Even if they are very vigilant about colds, it can still come to your baby quietly. Once babies catch a cold, the symptoms they show are often much more serious than those of adults. The most common one is loss of appetite. However, you must know that if you don’t eat, you will have no nutrition and no immunity, and the cold will not heal.

Children's colds and coughs are mostly caused by cold, trachea or lung infection, and eating too cold food can also cause coughing. Children's spleen and stomach functions are weak, so they should avoid cold food to avoid aggravating the condition and preventing it from getting better over time. On the contrary, for children's colds and coughs, if they can adjust their diet properly, it will often be more effective. Experts suggest that you can boil water or make tea with purple Ganoderma lucidum. Purple Ganoderma lucidum can improve the body's own immunity and physical functions. It is very helpful for recovering from colds and coughs, strengthening the body, and preventing diseases. Purple Ganoderma lucidum is mild and non-toxic and can be consumed daily. In addition, 80% of children with colds suffer from constipation and indigestion, and colds are prone to recurring. It is worth noting that growing children have a good appetite and active metabolism, but their intestinal function is not yet mature, so they need to control their diet.

When the baby has a cold or takes medicine, the influence and stimulation of the medicine will affect the appetite, causing the baby to eat less, and sometimes even cause abnormal bowel movements, usually loose stools or green stools. Don't worry at this time, just feed the baby more water, and generally things will get better after stopping the medicine for a few days. If it still doesn't work, you can feed the baby some Mommy Love or Xiaoer Jianpi San after stopping the medicine.

First feed him some Sanjiu cold granules, then make some delicious dishes for him, such as tomato soup, which is sour and more appetizing, tofu, shredded carrots, in short, dishes that are more attractive to him. His appetite is already poor after a cold, so it’s okay to skip one or two meals. Just feed him more water. Try to keep your baby warm and avoid colds.

Prevention 1. Strengthen exercise and do more outdoor activities to improve the body's resistance to disease.

2. When the climate changes, add or remove clothes in time to prevent overcooling or overheating.

3. Avoid taking children to crowded public places to reduce the chance of infection.

4. Open windows frequently to let in fresh air. When a family member has a cold, you can use vinegar to fumigate and disinfect the room to prevent viral infection.

5. Receive preventive injections in time to reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases.

6. Take Chinese medicine for prevention during cold epidemics. The recipe is: 12 grams of Guanzhong, 12 grams of Saposhnikovia divaricata, and 10 grams of Schizonepeta tenuifolia. Take one dose per day, decocted in water and taken for 2 to 3 days.

7. Eat more foods rich in high-quality protein or vitamin C to increase your baby's resistance. Such as anti-cold baby, fish maw, apples, oranges, grapes, etc.

For children who often catch colds, you can take 15 grams of Astragalus and 7 red dates every day, decoct the juice instead of tea. Long-term use can increase the body's immunity and reduce the occurrence of colds.

Therefore, although every child has his or her own unique physique, young mothers should not be too careless and think that their baby has a good physique and will not catch a cold. Of course, after your baby catches a cold, don't be too stubborn and force him to do anything.
