In autumn, the weather and temperature difference change greatly, so it is particularly easy to catch a cold in autumn, especially children with low resistance. We must be prepared to prevent a cold in autumn. Let's introduce how to prevent children's colds in autumn? What does autumn child catch a cold eat?
How to prevent children from catching a cold
1. Seasonal alternation
Infants have poor heat production capacity. It is OK to appropriately wear a layer of single clothes or thin vests for children. But there is no reason for children to dress a season away from their parents.
From hot summer to autumn, the temperature is not constant, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, especially in a day with a large temperature difference. It is often cool in the morning and evening, muggy at noon and scorching in the sun. If you don't increase or decrease your children's clothes in time, it will cause uneven cooling and heat and easy to catch a cold. At the turn of the season, the children's chances of catching a cold will be greatly reduced by increasing or decreasing their clothes with the change of the weather.
Expert advice
Now the weather has changed from hot to cold. Don't hurry to give your children too many clothes for the time being. The weather is gradually getting colder. If it is added at this time, it will not be easy to reduce in the future. It will only be more and more. So what's the best way? You should make sure that the child is as thin and thick as your clothes. Where you do not feel cold, the child will not feel cold. You know what? Although the child is not as resistant to the cold as our adults, he is always in the state of exercise. Even if he is asleep, he doesn't need to cover him with too many clothes.
The weather is getting colder and warmer, and you can't rush to reduce your children's clothes. According to your own feelings, you can reduce your clothes a few days later than yourself. If you don't feel cold because you lose your clothes, it's not too late to reduce your children, but you should reduce one single coat less than adults.
Master the principle of "spring covers autumn", and then increase or decrease children's clothes in a planned way according to the weather forecast, temperature change and your own feelings. Don't wear whatever you want for your children, and don't listen to your children. When choosing clothes, if they are only beautiful and not practical, they should give up without hesitation.
Some parents are afraid that their children will not leave the house as soon as the weather is cold. Children's respiratory tract is not stimulated by the external air for a long time, and they can't get cold resistant exercise. When spring flowers bloom, or after contacting cold patients, they are easy to get sick because of their poor resistance to pathogens.
2. When sleeping
The baby doesn't kick the quilt because it's naughty. If you sleep hot, the child will naturally kick the quilt. Before going to bed, the mother is afraid that he will be cold and covered thick, and the baby may sweat. In the second half of the night, when the temperature drops and the mother falls asleep, the baby who kicks out the quilt is most likely to catch a cold.
Expert advice
·It's best not to let your baby sleep in knitted underwear or thick pajamas. Wear small pants fork and small vest to sleep, the baby is more stable and doesn't like to kick the quilt. The more you wear, the more uncomfortable you are, the more you have to kick the quilt. On the contrary, you will catch cold.
·The baby has fallen asleep, whether in the arms, carts, back seats of bicycles or car seats, we should avoid the wind.
·The baby just woke up and can't be carried outdoors immediately. Let the child move indoors for a while first.
·When sleeping during the day, you should also take off your coat, cover it with a thin quilt, and put on your coat when you wake up.
·In summer, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor temperature is very small, and even the outdoor temperature is higher than the indoor temperature. Therefore, opening the window will not make the child catch cold. On the contrary, it can also make the indoor air fresh. Note: there should be no convective wind when you open the window to sleep.
3. During exercise
Different from adults, children have thin and tender skin, less subcutaneous fat and underdeveloped muscles, but the subcutaneous capillaries are very rich. The thermoregulation center and blood circulation regulation center are not well developed, and their thermoregulation function is relatively poor, so they can not change rapidly with the changes of the external environment.
When the child is heated or sweating, the capillaries and sweat pores are open. When stimulated by cold wind (such as ventilation, electric fan, air conditioner, etc.), the sweat pores are suddenly closed to reduce heat dissipation. However, if the open capillaries fail to contract in time, the blood flow rate is still very fast; On the contrary, if the sweat pores are not closed in time, they still continue to open and dissipate heat outward, while the capillaries contract when cold and the blood flow is slow. This will aggravate the imbalance between the uncoordinated thermoregulation center and the blood circulation center, and reduce the ability to resist viruses and bacteria. Cause the child to catch a cold, even suffer from tracheitis and pneumonia.
Expert advice
·No matter what season, during sports and activities, children should wear sweat absorbing, breathable and loose clothes suitable for sports, and wear less than usual.
·When you are sweating, wipe your sweat with a dry towel. Don't enter the air-conditioned room immediately, and don't blow directly at the cold air port of the air conditioner and the electric fan.
·When sweating, don't give your child ice water or cold drinks immediately.
·The foot is called the second heart of the human body. A cold in the foot may also be one of the causes of a cold. Especially in summer, avoid getting cold on your feet. For example, when you come home from the hot outdoors, don't take off your shoes immediately and run barefoot on the cold floor.
