Why do children under 6 years old easily catch a cold and have a fever in winter?

Winter is the season when children are easy to get sick, which makes many parents very upset and they get sick within a few days of going to kindergarten. In addition, it also has a certain impact on the growth and development of children! Children under 6 years old are prone to catch a cold and have a fever in winter for the following reasons: 1. Children's immune system is not well developed, so it is easy to get sick if they don't pay attention to protection at ordinary times.

2, children under 6 years old, the digestive ability of the spleen and stomach is weak. If you don't pay attention at ordinary times, it is easy to hurt your spleen, accumulate food repeatedly, and your child is easy to get sick.

Improper dressing for children is also an important reason for catching a cold and having a fever in winter. It's very cold in winter, and parents are afraid that their children will catch cold, so they put on thick clothes for their children, even though they didn't take them off in time in a warm room. Children sweat easily in this environment. After the pores (known as sweat mansion in Chinese medicine) are opened, the wind and cold attack, so children often catch a cold.

What should we do to make children less sick? 1, every day depends on the child's digestion, and the diet of this day is adjusted according to the child's digestion. In addition, parents need to pay attention to the fact that if the child has eaten a lot at school, the dinner should be reduced appropriately.

Dietary adjustment is the most basic way of conditioning, because it can directly affect children's spleen and stomach function. Children with poor spleen and stomach will have partial resistance and are prone to repeated illness. We can give our children more food such as white radish and cabbage to help them understand the food accumulated in their stomachs.

Step 2 dress appropriately. Children can wear more clothes when they go out, but when they return to a warm room or car, they should take off one or two coats in time to prevent them from sweating too much and catching a cold.

Touch the child's back every day, especially in the morning. You can use the word "back rubbing" to help children get up in the morning to warm themselves up and resist the cold.

The above three points are the most basic conditioning methods. If parents can grasp it well, the child's body will gradually get better and not rely on drugs.
