If a baby has symptoms of cold, cough, and fever, when going to the hospital for examination, doctors usually perform blood tests on the baby to timely understand their current physical condition. But now many mothers teach their babies to swim in order to have a better body from an early age. Can babies swim after drawing blood? Dear mothers, you can learn about this issue through the following text.
If a baby has a fever and inflammation, it is not recommended to let them go swimming in a hurry. The main purpose is to avoid infection at the needle opening where the baby draws blood, which can worsen the condition. It is best to go swimming one to two days after drawing blood, as babies are young and have low immunity. If you do not pay attention to wound cleaning and cross infection occurs, the consequences can be very serious.
After the baby's blood test, there is no need to supplement blood. He can make his own blood. Of course, if you are not confident, you can let the baby drink some brown sugar water. If the baby is anemic, it should be taken seriously. In order to improve the baby's anemia situation, it is recommended to give the baby more pig liver, red dates, etc., or make a black chicken soup for the baby. Black chicken soup has good blood nourishing effects and can be consumed by both adults and children.
After drawing blood, it is important to protect the baby's pinhole area and keep it clean. At the beginning of the blood draw, the amount of activity should not be too high. It is best to let the baby rest in bed and minimize outdoor activities. Remember to give the baby plenty of water.
