The immune system of young babies is far less powerful than that of adults, and their perceived body temperature is also different from that of adults. If adults do not consider these factors when preparing clothes for babies or taking babies out to play, babies are prone to getting sick from catching a cold. Below, let me introduce some remedies for babies after catching a cold.
Remedial measures for babies after catching a cold
1. Pay attention to keeping warm: When a baby gets cold, it is important to add appropriate clothing and take good care of their limbs and stomach to prevent diarrhea caused by the cold. But be careful not to cover it too thickly or wrap it too tightly, otherwise it will cause poor body regulation ability and low resistance.
2. Pay attention to regulating diet: Pay attention to dietary regulation, eat less spicy and sweet foods, drink more water, which has a flushing effect on the throat and can avoid dryness of the throat. Let the baby eat some phlegm reducing and cough relieving foods, such as pears, radishes, and loquats.
3. Maintain a good indoor environment: keep the air fresh in the room, exhaust kitchen fumes, do not smoke indoors, and regularly open windows for ventilation; Keep the indoor air moist. An air humidifier can be used.
4. Drink plenty of warm water: If a baby gets cold and lacks water, their throat will feel uncomfortable and it is not conducive to the elimination of viruses from the body. Baby should be given more water, diluted formula, or breast milk to ensure that their body is not lacking in water at all times. By constantly urinating, the virus can be eliminated from the body, relieving the symptoms of a cold and inhibiting its further development. This can make the baby feel more comfortable.
Symptoms of a baby catching a cold
1. Vomiting: If a baby gets cold, especially in the stomach, they may experience vomiting, such as spitting milk; At the same time, it may be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite, and a dull appearance.
2. Diarrhea: Babies may experience diarrhea when they catch a cold. Babies who catch a cold may experience stomach pain, crying and screaming for no reason, and their bodies may contract; The stool pulled out is shaped like an egg that has been beaten evenly and then poured with boiling water. It is non stick and has no sour taste at the beginning.
3. Runny nose: Babies may experience symptoms of runny nose when they catch a cold. The nasal mucus caused by catching a cold looks watery, and colleagues may experience mild fever. At this time, parents should take timely care of their baby with runny nose to prevent the baby from catching a severe cold and fever.
If parents notice that their baby is experiencing some of the discomfort symptoms mentioned by the editor above, and feel that the clothes they have prepared for their baby are somewhat thin, they should pay attention to whether the baby has caught a cold. If a baby catches a cold, there is no need to be overly nervous or blame oneself. As long as some warm measures are taken in a timely manner, the baby's condition will generally not continue to be severe.
