What should we do if children have recurrent respiratory infections?

Many parents are worried about their baby’s health, especially respiratory infections. Some parents report that their children’s respiratory infections often recur. What should they do? How to treat it? The editor will share some methods with you below, let’s take a look!

Why are children more likely to catch colds during their period of weak constitution? This is a common question among many parents. This is because the child's own resistance is weak at this stage. Of course, some children are better than others. Every child is born without resistance to germs, so when he comes into contact with germs, he is easily infected, but after being infected, he will be immune to the same type of germs the next time he encounters them. This is also the reason why adults catch colds less often than children. Adults have been exposed to more germs and have immunity themselves. However, there are more mutated germs now than before, so there are the following points to enhance children's resistance.

:1. As the baby grows older, his resistance will be better.

2. Pay attention to balanced nutrition. If you want to improve your baby's immunity, please refuse to feed your baby high-fat, high-sugar refined processed foods.

1. Eat more natural foods, including vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals.

2. Cereals are the staple food of humans. When adding complementary foods to your baby after 4 months, the first things to try are rice flour and wheat flour. After weaning, cereals are also the replacement food. Whole grains contain germ and polysaccharides, and are rich in vitamins B and E. These antioxidants can enhance immunity and strengthen the function of immune cells.

3. Five servings of fruits and vegetables a day is not only a dietary creed for adults, but is also suitable for young children. Such as lycopene, carotene, rich in vitamins C and E, etc. Fiber can prevent constipation and provide a good absorption environment for intestinal tract. The fructooligosaccharides in fruits help the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, just like laying a layer of immune carpet in the small intestine and large intestine. If your child doesn’t like vegetables, you can chop them up, mix them with grains or meat, and make them into meatballs, dumplings, or wontons, which they will be more likely to accept.

4. Infants and young children are in a period of rapid physical growth and brain nerve development, and their demand for protein and calcium is quite high. Therefore, dairy products are the best source of nutrition for infants and young children. Yogurt is a dairy product that can provide both nutrition and improve the intestinal environment. It is very suitable for the needs of children, but young children can only drink it after they are one year old.
