Cold is a very common disease in daily life, and it is highly contagious. Due to the underdeveloped body of babies, the chance of catching a cold is higher. After many babies are cured of a cold, mothers always worry about being infected again. So, will babies be infected again during the recovery period?
During the recovery period of a cold, babies are more likely to be re infected because they are young and have a weakened immune system, making them susceptible to invasion by pathogens such as viruses or bacteria. Moreover, during the recovery period, the body is still adjusting itself, and the immune and resistance levels have not yet reached the optimal normal level. If there are patients who have been in contact with a cold or respiratory disease, it is very likely to trigger a cold again.
The main reason for a baby to catch a cold is related to low immunity. Generally, as the baby grows and develops, their immunity will gradually improve, and the frequency of colds will gradually decrease. If compared with other babies, they have more colds, it is necessary to check for trace elements to see if there is a deficiency of zinc. Baby zinc deficiency can also easily lead to colds and needs to be supplemented appropriately.
When a baby has a cold, they may feel very tired. Mothers should pay attention to ensuring that the baby has sufficient sleep, open more windows for ventilation, and keep the indoor air circulating. At the same time, they should regularly sterilize and disinfect the toys, living room, and bedroom that the baby comes into contact with. If the baby has poor mental state or worsening cold symptoms, they should take the baby to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
