Due to the large number of people in public places, the density of bacteria and viruses in the air is relatively high, which greatly increases the possibility of children contracting diseases.
3. Children under one year old must have a regular diet, and pay attention to the intake of vegetables after adding complementary foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of human development. A regular and rich diet, as well as normal food intake, can promote the good development and growth of children.
4. During the illness, children with physical weakness should pay special attention to avoiding wind and cold, and be careful not to sweat when exposed to the wind, as this can attract new pathogens and cause the condition to recur. When a child has a fever and sweats, a warm wet towel or a soft dry towel can be used to wipe the child, which can dissipate heat and be very comfortable.
