Winter in the south is really torture. The temperature plummeted, alternating between cold and hot. It was almost 30 degrees the other day. As a result, these two days suddenly came 10 degrees. In this weather, children are particularly prone to illness. My daughter coughed some time ago, and it didn't take long for her to have diarrhea and catch a cold these days. Take her to do pediatric massage today. Although it is a minor illness, it is also a close call.
Not to mention babies, even adults can't stand this weather. I have a sore throat myself, and I am tired all over. Several mom friends around me are also attracted. So this kind of weather is really hard to predict.
This season is a period of high incidence of various diseases. The highly contagious norovirus is the most common disease at this time, as well as diarrhea, colds and fever. Every parent doesn't want their children to get sick, but wants their children to be resistant, healthy and full of vitality!
My son has been healthy since he was five years old. He basically drinks water every time he catches a cold. Originally, he had bean disease, and many medicines for reducing fever and cold could not be taken, so I didn't give him medicine. Every time he gets sick, my first thought is not what medicine to take, but drinking water and massage, and then I will be fine in a few days.
My friend asked me why he was in such good health. What method can improve the baby's immunity? Today, I will share my experience with mothers in need, which is very practical.
Don't give medicine immediately if the child is ill.
Usually children have a common cold and a low fever, so it is best not to take medicine immediately. For example, a low fever can be cooled by physical means first, and a cold can be drunk with warm water.
When a child is sick, a large number of antibodies will be produced in the body to fight against germs. This process is helpful to children's health and is a good time to build antibodies.
If the child is sick, stop taking the medicine immediately. The medicine will kill all the viruses before the child's body produces antibodies. How can the immunity of the body be strong?
It should be noted that when a child is sick, he must observe his mental state, appetite, excretion and sleep. If all this is normal during illness, then don't worry at all.
Drinking more water can really cure diseases.
Every time my son is ill, I keep reminding him to drink water. "Drinking water is good for colds." This is not blown out, but it can really be achieved.
Especially in this weather, drinking plenty of water can keep the respiratory tract moist and avoid coughing because it is too dry. For children, the respiratory tract is more sensitive and needs to drink more water. Don't wait until you are thirsty to remember to drink water. If you feel thirsty, it's already late, and your body is warning you!
Exercise is the best way to strengthen physical fitness.
I still remember the summer vacation before my son went to kindergarten. I took her out to exercise every day to strengthen her physique, so that she wouldn't be afraid of getting sick so easily when she went to kindergarten.
It is ok to exercise in summer. When winter comes, many parents would rather stay at home with their children than go out to exercise. Needless to say, exercise is good. Life lies in exercise. Even in cold weather, let the children move, otherwise the exercise is not enough and the children can't sleep well at night.
Pay attention to changing clothes for children in time during exercise, dry them immediately after sweating and put on clean clothes.
A good way for children to massage.
Personally, I prefer massage. Actually, I can massage even if I'm not sick.
My two children do a set of simple massage and touching actions after taking a bath every day, which is not only health care, but also a good game for parent-child interaction.
If the child is ill, he can do some massage according to his illness. Children's acupoints are all one piece. Learn the baby's massage methods online, or at home. Massage for children is very effective and safe.
Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands.
Related research shows that washing hands frequently can greatly reduce the chance of catching a cold. Washing hands frequently is a simple step and the most direct way to reduce diseases.
Wash your hands first thing when you go home every day, and it is best to wash your hands for more than 30 seconds at a time. Especially during illness, children should wash their hands frequently, and parents should wash their hands frequently.
Soak the child's feet before going to bed.
I didn't know that children could soak their feet. Children like to run around barefoot all day and listen to nothing, so their feet are cold before going to bed.
Once I soaked my feet by myself, and he went to soak his feet and found that he could fall asleep soon after soaking his feet. Soaking children's feet can promote blood circulation, keep their feet warm and make it easier to fall asleep. Of course, we must pay attention to the water temperature.
Keep warm when sleeping at night.
When sleeping at night, keep your baby warm to avoid catching cold. If the baby kicks the quilt, you can try to sleep in a sleeping bag or a thick vest.
Go to bed early at night and get up early the next day. Get into the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. You know, a good work and rest is also an important part of enhancing immunity.
Keep the indoor air fresh.
In winter, many people like to close the doors and windows. In fact, insufficient air circulation is the most likely to make your baby sick.
Although it is cold in winter, it is impossible not to open the window all the time. It will be better to open the doors and windows for ventilation from time to time. Such small details of life still need to be learned.
Nutrition should be balanced.
You can't overeat in winter, and it is easy for children to get sick. Children with weak spleen and stomach are more likely to cause digestive problems, have balanced nutrition, ensure a healthy diet, and naturally get less sick.
I shared so much at once, all the experiences of people who have experienced it. It looks simple, but you still have to stick to it before you can operate it. It's not easy to stick to it! This winter, for the sake of children's health, act quickly!
