The growth of a baby is like fighting monsters and upgrading, and the mother has to accompany the baby to constantly fight against various diseases. Most of these diseases are easily treatable, but if the baby's resistance is poor, they may attract some stubborn diseases. For example, pertussis is a very stubborn disease, so why does a baby get pertussis?
1. Low immunity
To help babies avoid various diseases, it is necessary to ensure strong resistance. If a baby's immune system is poor, they are more likely to be infected with various bacteria and cause various diseases. If the environment in which the baby lives contains pertussis bacteria and the baby's resistance is poor, it is easy to be infected.
2. Contact with infectious sources
In fact, most babies are infected with pertussis because they have come into contact with a source of infection, such as people with pertussis, or their saliva, sputum, oral secretions, etc., so the possibility of infection is very high. Even if the baby does not come into contact with the patient's oral secretions, but only has close contact with the patient, it is still possible to be infected because pertussis can be transmitted through droplets.
In order to better prevent babies from contracting pertussis, mothers must pay attention to their babies' living environment and regularly disinfect them. If family members suffer from pertussis, they must be isolated in a timely manner to avoid contact with the baby. Another most effective prevention method is vaccination. Mothers must give their babies the DPT vaccine on time.
