Prevention and treatment of children's summer cold

The common diseases of children in summer are mainly caused by virus infection-colds and fever caused by acute respiratory infection account for a large part. This article will introduce the prevention and treatment of children's colds in summer.

Children are vulnerable.

Children's resistance is inherently poor. Coupled with the hot weather in summer and abundant rain, the temperature changes greatly during the day. If parents don't pay attention to keep their children warm at night, or the air conditioner is used improperly, it is easy to cause upper respiratory tract infection.

Different symptoms

Besides, the symptoms of a cold in summer are different from those of a cold in winter and spring. Most children have moderate fever with a body temperature of 38.5 ~ 40℃, headache, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, accompanied by chest tightness, abdominal distension, diarrhea and dark yellow urine.

Pay attention to complications

If you find that your child can't recover after catching a cold, or the symptoms are aggravated, coughing, shortness of breath, unstable body temperature or high fever after a fever, you should think clearly whether the condition is aggravated or there are complications.

Febrile convulsion

Children from 6 months to 3 years old should also be alert to the occurrence of febrile convulsions when they have a cold and a high fever. Because children are underdeveloped, the excitement and inhibition of the brain are unstable. High fever often makes children overexcited, and then suddenly turns from excitement to inhibition. The specific manifestations are sudden loss of consciousness, drowsiness in eyes, blue complexion, foaming at the mouth, and limb convulsions, which can generally be relieved by themselves.

Enhance immunity

To strengthen children's resistance and prevent them from catching a cold, we can take the following measures: strengthen physical exercise, let children participate in outdoor activities and get more sunshine, and don't add too much clothes when the weather changes, so that children can adapt to the changes in temperature.

Reduce pathogen exposure

To reduce exposure to pathogens, we should pay attention to changing clothes, try not to take children to crowded public places, and reduce the chance of exposure to pathogens. If your family has a cold, avoid contact and pay attention to indoor ventilation.

Keep the indoor air fresh.

Keep the indoor air fresh. When using air conditioning, don't be greedy for cold, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too big. Especially after entering the room from the outdoor heat, don't blow cold air directly into the air conditioner.
