Newborns have weak innate resistance, and any exposure to cold or invasion of bacteria and viruses can lead to symptoms such as colds, runny nose, lack of energy, poor appetite, diarrhea, etc. In the early stages of a cold, strengthening the feeding of infant health products such as vitamins or probiotics can alleviate the baby's cold symptoms. However, if delayed and not actively improving diet or seeking medical attention, it can lead to a deterioration of the baby's physical condition. So how should parents actively prevent and resist in the early stages of a baby catching a cold?
Firstly, it is necessary to ensure that the living and resting environment for the baby is clean and tidy, with good ventilation. The baby should also keep warm, clean their mouth and hands and feet to prevent bad habits such as sucking on their fingers, which can harm their body with bacteria and viruses.
Secondly, feeding your baby warm water can accelerate their blood circulation and eliminate toxins from their body as soon as possible, which can alleviate their early cold symptoms; In addition, it is also possible to give babies a moderate amount of foot bubbles and massage some key acupoints and nerves to alleviate their cold symptoms.
Also, how to determine if a baby is suffering from a common cold in the early stages? The symptoms of a cold mainly include the baby's nose often accompanied by clear nasal discharge, dirt and foreign objects in the nostrils and eyes, poor appetite, poor mental state, and drowsiness. However, if the baby is taken care of in a timely manner and the intake of vegetables, fruits, and vitamins is increased appropriately, the body is strengthened to keep warm, and actively cared for through dietary therapy, the condition will be alleviated or restored to normal levels within 2 days; But once the baby's cold symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to actively seek medical attention and follow the doctor's guidance to improve diet and medication use.
