Preventive nursing care for newborns with cold and vomiting

In fact, in daily life, many people choose to go to work, leaving grandparents at home to take care of their children. This will result in their children not getting better care. So let us now learn about the prevention and care of newborns with colds and vomiting.

1. Take rest

The younger the baby is, the more rest and care he needs. He should resume activities only after the symptoms disappear to avoid recurrence due to failure to clear the lesion. For babies with fever, it is best to rest in bed to reduce stimulation of their central nervous system.

2. Eat a healthy diet

Babies with colds and fever are prone to loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Dietary care is very important. The general principle is to choose easily digestible food and eat small meals frequently. If you force your baby to eat, it will put a heavy burden on his gastrointestinal tract, which is harmful to his body and recovery from illness. The amount of food you eat each time can be smaller, but you can eat more often. Give your baby more fruit juice, such as fresh orange juice. The baby's diet can be thicker when the fever subsides and the digestive ability is better. As the baby's condition improves, he can generally return to his normal diet in about a week.

3. Suitable environment

Keep your baby's room well ventilated. For babies with fever, fresh air helps the skin sweat effectively and lower body temperature. You should avoid blowing air directly towards your baby, as this will cause the blood vessels in your baby's skin to constrict and worsen the condition.

Arrange a good rest environment for your baby, keep the room quiet, don't talk loudly, and increase your baby's sleep time as much as possible to reduce energy consumption. You can let your baby lie on the bed, tell him stories softly or listen to music to help him relax, which will promote recovery from the illness.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the prevention and care of newborns with colds and vomiting. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, if your child has such a situation, care is very important.
