Gastrointestinal cold is a common cold in children. It has a serious impact on children's health. Therefore, many families need to provide all kinds of care for their children to recover as soon as possible after their children have a gastrointestinal cold. The following content provides a detailed introduction. Therefore, parents of children who often suffer from gastrointestinal cold can have a comprehensive understanding of the following content.

1. Home care for gastrointestinal colds is very important. Mothers should pay attention to keeping fresh air in the room and add or remove clothes for the baby in time when the climate changes.

2. If your baby sweats a lot after taking antipyretics, you should change the wet clothes in time after each sweating to avoid catching a cold again and worsening the condition.

3. During the fever period, give your baby more boiled water, eat easily digestible food with light taste, and avoid spicy, cold drinks, greasy, and fried foods.

4. It is normal for babies to have decreased appetite during illness. Moms should not be anxious, and should not force their children to eat. Giving the child's gastrointestinal tract some rest time will help the body recover as soon as possible.

5. If the baby's tongue is coated with yellow and there is a sour and smelly smell in the mouth, it indicates that there is food fire in the body. Mothers must control the intake of greasy food, and can give babies food-digesting pills and hawthorn pills to clear away heat and relieve stagnation.

6. Once the baby vomits, the mother should not panic. Let the baby lie on his side. For older babies, the baby can be placed in a prone position. This will help the vomit to flow out, keep the airway open, and avoid vomitus from being inhaled into the trachea, causing suffocation and endangering life.

7. Babies with a fever of 38.5℃ or above or with a history of febrile convulsions must take antipyretics in time or adopt physical cooling measures to prevent febrile convulsions.

8. If a family member or childcare institution has a cold, it is best not to have close contact with children. If isolation is not possible, you should wear a mask to avoid infecting your children. Do not rush to send your child to kindergarten until you have fully recovered from the illness to protect other children.
