What to do if your newborn baby catches a cold

Newborn babies are often susceptible to various diseases due to their weak constitution, and colds are one of the most common diseases among newborn babies. What should I do if my newborn baby catches a cold? I believe that many parents are very concerned about this topic. I have collected the following content and hope it can be helpful to everyone. Friends in need can take a look.

An important point in home care for children with colds is to let the child get enough rest. The younger the child is, the more rest he needs. He can only resume free activities after the symptoms disappear.

The second is to take medicine on time. As for most colds, most are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are ineffective. Especially in the early stages of viral infections, antibiotics are not only ineffective, but the abuse of antibiotics can cause dysbiosis in the body, which is conducive to the reproduction of pathogens and aggravates the condition. Taking "Bai Fu Ning" can effectively relieve fever, nasal congestion, cough and other discomforts caused by colds, avoid complications and recover early.

Third, during the period when children have a cold and fever, they should be given liquid food, noodles, porridge and other foods according to their appetite and digestive ability. The frequency of breastfeeding for children should be temporarily reduced to avoid indigestion symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Fourth, the room should be quiet, the air should be fresh, smoking is prohibited, and the temperature should be constant, not too high, too low, or too humid. More attention should be paid when there are symptoms of laryngitis, so that the child can recover soon. If the fever persists or complications occur, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid accidents.

Comprehensive measures should be taken to prevent children from catching colds.

(1) Feed properly to prevent malnutrition-related diseases. Try to breastfeed your baby as much as possible during infancy. The secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) in breast milk can enhance the baby's respiratory resistance. As the child grows older, various supplementary foods should be gradually added. For example, Sunshine Life bovine colostrum contains 5 types of immunoglobulins that can bind to antigens such as pathogenic microorganisms and toxins to form antibodies, while promoting the development and maturation of the immune system of newborn mammals and protecting them from pathogens. Also, eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, and avoid bad habits of partiality and picky eating. Ensure adequate sleep and arrange appropriate outdoor activities to increase appetite and improve digestion.

(2) Children should be dressed appropriately. Adults should not dress children based on their subjective wishes. For example, if you are afraid of cold, you should dress your child in too many clothes; if you are afraid of heat, you should dress your child in too few clothes. This is extremely inappropriate. Some parents, for fear that their children will catch a cold, always make them wear too many clothes. Children sweat a lot after activities and are more likely to catch a cold if they cannot change clothes in time. Wearing a little less regularly is a form of training that can only be developed as a habit from an early age. Put on more clothes in time when the temperature drops suddenly. When taking a nap during the day in winter, you should take off your cotton clothes. If you still wear your original clothes, you will easily catch a cold after getting up. Cover the baby with a quilt in time at night and change the baby's diaper in time. If the baby sleeps in a wet diaper for a long time and then suddenly opens the quilt and the cold wind blows on the wet skin, it is easy to catch a cold.

(3) Pay attention to environmental hygiene.

(4) Strengthen physical exercise and improve physical fitness.

(5) Avoid contact with patients with colds. During the cold epidemic, try to avoid taking children to crowded public places, such as movie theaters, large shopping malls, etc., and do not visit patients' homes.

(6) Pay attention to personal hygiene and develop the habit of brushing teeth, gargling, and washing hands before and after meals. Do not share washing utensils and eating utensils.

The above content is what I have collected about what to do if a newborn baby catches a cold. I hope it can help all parents. When children are young, they have poor resistance and are prone to illness, so every parent should take good care of their baby. Finally, I sincerely wish every baby can have a healthy body and grow up happily.
