Prevention of lung infection in infants

Prevention of lung infection in infants

We all know that children are very important treasures to our whole family. Do you know how we can take better care of our babies? Do you know how we can prevent lung infection in babies? This is what we need to know and consider. Now we will introduce the above-mentioned prevention of infant lung infection for your healthy baby.

The lungs are an important organ in our human body and a filter for our lives. Without it, our bodies would be unable to withstand the damage of exhaust fumes. But we always smoke and stay up late, constantly damaging it, which can only shorten our own lifespan. Now I will tell you how to prevent lung infections.

1. Open windows for ventilation twice a day for 15 to 20 minutes each time, and adjust the room temperature to 20 to 22°C and the humidity to 50% to 60%.

2. Maintain a semi-recumbent position for 30 to 60 minutes after eating before resuming your normal position. The amount of food for each meal should be 300-400 ml; the speed should not be too fast, and the time should be controlled within 20-30 minutes; the temperature should be around 40°C to avoid cold or hot stimulation that may cause gastric spasm and vomiting; after the patient eats, clean his or her mouth. When cleaning the oral cavity, special attention should be paid to cleaning the buccal mucosa on the paralyzed side of the oral cavity to avoid food residues and oral infection. If bacteria in the mouth are inhaled into the respiratory tract, it will cause bronchial or lung infection in the patient.

3. Ensure adequate water intake, generally 2000 ml/day, to reduce the viscosity of secretions.

4. Respiratory infections are best prevented by keeping the airways open and stretching the inactive parts of the lungs. For patients with impaired consciousness and long-term bedridden, they should lie in the side-lying position more often, turn over and tap their backs once every 2 hours, and encourage them to cough while tapping their backs. Back tapping is to hold your palms empty and pat the patient's back, starting from the bottom of the lungs and gradually moving upwards, so that the small airways are vibrated, and the accumulated phlegm is separated from the wall of the airways and gathered in the large airways, thus facilitating the discharge of secretions accumulated in the airways.

Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a better understanding of the prevention of lung infections. I hope it can help everyone. Always pay attention to our children's health, and if possible, check their lung health regularly to eliminate the disease in its infancy. Finally, I hope everyone can be healthy and have a happy family.

Okay, the above is our basic introduction on the prevention of infant lung infection. How do you feel after reading it? Do you know what our own situation is like? It is very important for us to keep our babies away from lung infections and let them grow better in a healthy environment.
