Many mothers regularly take their babies to swim, and for them, taking their babies to swim has become a habit. However, babies are not healthy every day, and there are always times when they get sick, such as contracting upper respiratory tract infections and coughing symptoms. So, can babies with upper respiratory tract infections and coughing swim?
Babies with upper respiratory tract infections and coughing cannot swim. Because the water in the swimming pool contains a certain amount of bacteria, if a baby chokes on water while swimming, it is likely to allow these bacteria to enter the respiratory tract, thereby worsening the condition. So it is recommended to wait until the symptoms of the baby's upper respiratory tract infection disappear before going swimming.
Upper respiratory tract infections in babies are often related to bacterial or viral infections, and it is necessary to follow medical advice to take relevant medications for treatment. If the baby has a high fever, physical cooling can be performed, and fever reducing drugs can also be taken according to medical advice if necessary. At the same time, attention should be paid to the baby's diet. It is generally recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods.
There are many symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection in babies, in addition to coughing, they may also experience discomfort such as vomiting, fever, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, diarrhea, sore throat, decreased appetite, and fatigue. This disease can be seen all year round, but it is often more common at the turn of seasons. Parents and friends should take relevant preventive measures.
