How to prevent spring colds in children

People are most susceptible to catching colds when seasons change, especially in spring. In the early spring season when the weather is changeable and the weather 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 will still come to your baby quietly, and then like to remind us that we cannot ignore it because it is right next to us. Therefore, young mothers, you must be extremely alert and try your best to keep colds away from your babies.

1 New method 1: Supplement 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. 2New method 2: Do chest rubbing exercises.

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. 3 New method 3: Avoid passive smoking

Studies have confirmed that because smoke contains toxic substances such as cyanide, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, etc. that can damage the ciliary tissue of the respiratory system, passive smoking can weaken the ciliary tissue of the respiratory tract of infants and young children's ability to clear external foreign matter, making them 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. 4 New Method 4: Improve nutrition and drink more water

According to current research, mild vitamin A and vitamin C deficiency is a common cause of recurrent respiratory tract infections in children. Therefore, eating more fresh colorful vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C or supplementing with some multivitamin preparations can effectively enhance children's resistance. In addition, drink more water to promote fluid circulation and effectively excrete toxins. 5 New Method 5: Exercise plus massage

Cultivating some daily habits can also help children improve their resistance.

1. Ensure adequate sleep.

2. Do physical exercise.

3. It is recommended that parents use warm hands to massage their children’s backs every day. For children who often have a runny nose, you can gently massage their nose bridge every morning and evening. When the child grows up, you can teach him to gently massage himself, just a few minutes a day.

4: Use cold water to wipe your hands and feet frequently

Cold showers are also great exercise for kids. It is generally not recommended to give very young children a full body cold water bath, but local cold water baths are beneficial, such as wiping the child's limbs with cold water after bathing, washing the child's face with cold water, etc. ”

Of course, every child has his or her own unique physique. Young mothers should not blindly follow the trend, but should prescribe the right medicine for the right disease, including methods of preventing colds. You should also choose methods that are suitable for your baby, otherwise it will be counterproductive and not worth the loss.
