In winter, the incidence of pediatric pneumonia is really not low. When some mothers are chatting, they will always say, "Whose child has a high fever and has a pneumonia, we must be more careful and take good care of the baby." The weather is too cold, once the child coughs and has a fever, the mother is too anxious to stand it. I am afraid that the child will spread this disease and will not be able to go to the root in a lifetime.
Misuse of this household appliance, 2-year-old baby gets pneumonia
2-year-old Tong Tong's health has been good, but recently her mother found that Tong Tong coughed more often, slightly feverish, mentally weak, and looked very weak. Later, Tong Tong had diarrhea and vomiting, did not like to eat, and acted more restless.
Mom was very worried and took baby to the hospital for examination. This investigation was shocking, and it turned out to be infectious pneumonia.
Mom is very strange, Tong Tong has no contact with the outside world, it seems that it is only a slight cold, how can she get pneumonia?
After understanding, the doctor pointed out that the indoor temperature is dry in winter, and the mother is afraid that the baby is uncomfortable and may sleep with the humidifier on. However, many mothers do not use humidifiers, neglecting the importance of water change, resulting in the growth of bacteria in tap water and polluting the air. And the little baby's resistance is insufficient, and it often becomes a sin sheep. The misuse of humidifiers has also become the "number one enemy" of pneumonia in home babies.
In the heating season, things are dry and static, people are uncomfortable with panting, and humidifiers can come in handy. However, once the wrong humidifier is used, it can really hurt the baby.
Humidifier 3 kinds of wrong usage, easy to harm the baby, quickly see if you use the wrong one?
Wrong usage 1: Adding a "foreign body" to the humidifier
Humidifiers can increase humidity to the air, but it is recommended to put only "water" in the humidifier, and anything other than that is not recommended.
For example, the old vinegar that can be used to disinfect and sterilize in the eyes of Bao Ma, the perfume that can increase the fragrance, and the disinfectant used for professional disinfection and sterilization. These foreign bodies are not recommended to be added. Otherwise, these things will spread into the air as the humidifier atomizes and evaporate, increasing the irritation to the lungs and easily causing the baby to get sick.
Wrong usage two: add "tap water"
It is not recommended to add tap water to the humidifier, tap water is "raw water", which is easy to breed bacteria. Some mothers neglect to change the water, can not change the water a day, it is easier to breed scale, fungal bacteria multiply, accelerate air pollution, infect the baby lungs.
What's more, some mothers have been turning on the humidifier, humidifying 24 hours a day, resulting in excessive humidity in the room, which is more likely to cause physical discomfort to the baby.
It is best to add "pure water" and "cool white open" in the humidifier, so that the water source is hygienic and the baby's health coefficient is higher.
Wrong usage three: too lazy, not diligent in changing water
When using a humidifier, the most important thing is to ensure that it is "living water". At least change the water once a day, otherwise there is too much stagnant water in the container, which will become a breeding ground for bacteria. The longer the humidifier is turned on, the more powerful this stagnant water emits, the more bacteria multiply, and the greater the threat to your baby's health.
The Korean "humidifier" incident, which took 5 years to investigate, has only the results, because the woman improperly uses the humidifier, causing respiratory diseases and infection with pneumonia and other symptoms.
The woman has been using a humidifier for 6 years, has never been cleaned, and has a heavy musty smell.
The investigation showed that in addition to the woman's improper use of the humidifier, it was not cleaned up in time, and because the woman put PHMG toxic substances in the humidifier for sterilization, resulting in lung damage, there was a tragedy of "leaving".
Therefore, I sorted out some "fun questions and answers", through a question and answer, so that the mothers know more about how to use the humidifier correctly?
Fun Q&A, test your understanding of humidifiers, how much is it?
1 Is the humidifier causing the baby to get pneumonia?
It is not the humidifier that causes the baby to get pneumonia, but the wrong use of the humidifier.
2 ultrasonic humidifier, added tap water, will there be a problem?
The ultrasonic humidifier adds tap water, and the water mist that vibrates out will precipitate particles and deposit them in the room to form a white powder. Over time, the baby inhales particulate matter into the respiratory system, which is easy to induce lung disease.
3Can the humidifier be blown at the baby?
The optimal spray distance of the humidifier needs to be 1-3 meters away from the human body and 1 meter high from the ground. Can't blow at the baby, the baby can't enjoy it.
4 Add a little "what" to the humidifier to be better?
Adding nothing is the best choice. No vinegar, no essential oil, no disinfectant, pure natural cool white, or pure water, is a free big baby.
It is also important to note that when the humidity in the room is sufficient, the humidifier needs to be turned off.
Baby is similar to adults, the best humidity range can be felt, about 45%-60%, if the humidity is too high, baby may feel uncomfortable.
In addition, when the humidity is high, the air will breed bacteria, and the bacteria will spread faster. Especially if the size of the house is small, or the baby stays alone, the problem of humidity cannot be ignored, which is related to the baby's lung health.
No one could have imagined that a small household appliance would become the "real culprit" that induces pneumonia in the baby. In this dry winter, Bao Mom wants to make her baby comfortable, and she needs to spend more time!
