Children are particularly prone to respiratory infections in autumn and winter. This is because as the weather turns cold and the temperature drops, the disease resistance of human respiratory tract will decrease with the stimulation of dry and cold air, and the body is prone to diseases. On the other hand, with the increase of patients, there are more and more sources of infection.
In the cold winter, what can be done to make children less sick?

If you want your child to get less sick, take off more clothes.
Macey's mother and grandmother took her to see a doctor. She coughed for three days. She undid her clothes and listened to her heart and lungs. God, she's sweating all over! It's not that cold, the thermal underwear has been put on! I said I wore too much, grandma said, I don't cough for fear of catching a cold. (The collision of two generations of parenting-dressing index has been forwarded and shared so many times that he always meets children who wear too many clothes. )
What happened to the Macey family is very common. Many parents, especially grandmothers, take care of their children and often dress them like balls for fear that they will freeze. In fact, women are generally afraid of the cold, especially the elderly. It's getting cold, so it's very easy to dress children according to their feelings. And children are in the stage of vigorous metabolism, always running around, so they are often more afraid of heat than adults, and most children are basically dressed like adult men.
I've said it many times, but I still have to say it! )

If you want your child to get less sick, open the window at the gate.
When the weather is cold and windy, everyone with children at home should close the doors and windows for fear that the wind will blow the children away. The outdoor temperature is low, so opening the window is afraid of lowering the indoor temperature.
Although the temperature drops gradually in autumn and winter, it is very necessary to open the window for ventilation. The circulating air can effectively reduce the occurrence of respiratory tract infection. Respiratory tract infections occur frequently in autumn and winter, and the number of patients will increase compared with other seasons. Family members are likely to be infected. A sneeze or cough will spit out a lot of viruses and bacteria around you, which is a threat to children. Moving air can quickly dilute dense viruses or bacteria, which can reduce the chances of children being infected.

Take the child out of the room if you want him to be less ill.
As the temperature drops, many parents dare not take their children to play outdoors, and children begin to enter and leave indoor children's playgrounds, early education centers, indoor clubs and shopping malls in residential areas. These places are crowded, the air circulation is not good, and sick children and adults often mix in, which is very likely to lead to respiratory infections.
Outdoor activities will allow children to have good air circulation in places with relatively small population density, thus reducing the chance of cross-infection.
Parents are worried that it is too cold outside to make their children sick. If children are kept outdoors, they will gradually adapt to the cold. Appropriate clothes can also keep children from feeling cold when they are outdoors.

If you want your child to get sick less, don't take your child for frequent follow-up visits.
Children get sick in autumn and winter, and many parents worry about their children getting sick and go to see a doctor many times at a time. Everyone knows the truth that "illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like reeling", but if your child is sick and doesn't get well the next day, he must go to see a doctor again.
Parents should understand that the child is ill, with fever for 2-3 days and cough for 3-5 days. After that, the cough gradually decreased and the condition recovered. This is a very common process of respiratory infection. Don't rush to see a doctor just because you still have a fever after reading it in the morning and afternoon. This is not only not good for the recovery of the disease, but also makes the children not get enough rest. Moreover, the intensive hospital patients and repeated visits greatly increase the chances of cross-infection. Pneumonia when you go to the doctor, autumn diarrhea when you come back.

We must also do these things:
In addition to the above, there are cliches: drink more water, ensure rest, don't overeat, and ensure smooth stool.
In fact, this is the way it is, but if it is done, the child will be less sick.
