It is very common for babies to catch a cold in daily life, but parents should also pay attention to it because this disease often brings many complications. Especially when babies catch a cold, they are likely to develop pneumonia or other illnesses. So, can a baby's cold cause ventricular septal defect? Let's take a look below.
Can a baby's cold cause ventricular septal defect
Babies who catch a cold will not develop ventricular septal defect, which is a congenital heart disease caused by the interventricular septum and often exists independently. Although babies who catch a cold will not suffer from ventricular septal defect, they should actively seek treatment after catching a cold, because if the cold is not treated in time, it can turn into pneumonia, which is detrimental to the baby's health. Therefore, it is necessary to actively seek treatment.
Methods for preventing colds in babies
1. Parents should encourage their babies to develop good hand washing habits in daily life, as there are many viruses and bacteria in their hands. Once the baby comes into contact with objects with viruses and unconsciously touches their nose, it is easy to catch a cold. Therefore, parents should encourage their babies to develop good hand washing habits before meals and after use.
2. Many parents are always afraid that their babies will freeze. Once the weather changes, they will let their babies stay indoors for a long time. In fact, babies do not accept the outside air for a long time. Once they come into contact with a sick person, when their baby's resistance decreases, they are prone to catching a cold. In addition, the baby's room should also be well ventilated to avoid the growth of bacteria.
