Treatment of upper respiratory tract infections in children

In fact, the air conditions are not very good now, so everyone needs to pay more attention to their physical health. It may cause bacteria to enter the body and cause upper respiratory tract infections. Let us now learn about the treatment methods for upper respiratory tract infections in children.

Treatment:

1. Actively exercise: open windows more often when sleeping, wash your face with cold water, get up early to breathe fresh air outdoors, participate in more outdoor activities and sports, etc.

2. Increase nutrition: Eat a balanced diet and enhance immunity.

3. Add or remove clothes at any time: Dressing should be adjusted according to the temperature, and avoid wearing too much or too little. Especially in winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm, wear more in the morning and evening, and wear less at noon. At the same time, you should pay attention to the temperature difference between room temperature and outdoor temperature, and avoid catching a cold when entering and leaving the room. Children love sports, so they should change clothes in time after sweating during exercise. You can also wear a mask when you go out to prolong the humidification time of the air in the mouth and nose, and prevent cold air from entering the respiratory tract directly.

4. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid the causes of disease: prevent environmental pollution and passive smoking, etc. You can use vinegar to steam your respiratory tract for 20 minutes every week for simple disinfection and to enhance the immune function of the respiratory tract.

5. Avoid cross infection and spread of pathogens: Wash your hands after contact with the patient. If the condition is serious, wear isolation clothing in childcare institutions and hospitals, and avoid contact with healthy people at home. This not only protects those around you, but also reduces the chances of complications for the sick child.

In hospitals, maintain ventilation and appropriate temperature in wards whenever possible. At the same time, the patient's bed and empty beds should be cleaned and disinfected in time. If conditions permit, ultraviolet rays can be used to disinfect wards and contaminated areas.

6. Vaccine injection: Inhalation of attenuated virus vaccine through nasal atomization or dripping can stimulate the nasal and upper respiratory tract mucosa to produce secretory IgA antibodies, enhance the defense ability of the respiratory tract, and the effect is better than other serum antibodies. However, it is currently difficult to use vaccines to prevent the numerous types of enteroviruses and rhinoviruses.

7. Drug prevention: Drugs that enhance immunity can be used to reduce the incidence of recurrent respiratory tract infections. Such as Western medicine levamisole, carmansu; Chinese medicine astragalus, Jiawei Yupingfeng powder (formula: raw astragalus 9g, atractylodes 6g, siler 3g, raw oyster 9g, tangerine peel 6g, yam 9g, grind into fine powder)

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the treatment methods of upper respiratory tract infections in children. I believe that everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, you still need to pay attention to your own body, and go to the hospital for treatment in time when encountering professional situations.
