In the outpatient clinic of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, there are many children who come to see patients because of colds
The 3-year-old boy Ball Ball (pseudonym) is one of them. Since the beginning of spring this year, less than forty days, this is the third time that Qiu Qiu has come to the hospital because of a cold, "I feel that the last cold was not thorough, and this cold has come again." In this regard, Qiu Qiu's mother was very puzzled, "He is usually in good health, and he has not been sick so often in winter." ”
In the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University, Luo Wuzheng, the attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, made relevant inquiries about the ball ball, and combined with various examination results and the child's daily living habits described by the ball mother, he told the child's mother: "The child's repeated colds and the parents' improper dressing and nursing are related. ”
It turned out that the ball mother was worried about the large temperature difference in spring, afraid that the child was cold at school, and always dressed him more when the child went out in the morning, but the ball always forgot to take off his coat when it was hot at noon. Children often come home from school sweating and need to reduce clothing, but it is very cold in the morning and evening, "this repeated alternating between hot and cold, the child is easily cold." ”
Luo Wuzheng introduced that in recent times, such a situation as a ball is not an isolated case. Since the beginning of spring, many children have caught colds because of the hot and cold weather. Winter and spring, when climate change is obvious, is the high incidence of colds. When parents dress their children, in the case of being able to withstand the cold, do not wear too much, and wear less if they can wear less. Because of too much wear, the child is naturally active, easy to sweat, and if you do not change your clothes in time after sweating, it is easy to catch a cold when you are cold and hot.
To prevent spring colds in children please do this
Doctors are examining a child who has a cold
The dressing principle is to let the child's back vest be "warm", too cold or too hot. Specific to each child, how much to wear, this is uncertain, because people's physique is different, parents need to carefully observe the child's state in life, timely addition and subtraction of clothing.
Experts remind that children with colds do not need to be too anxious, most children's colds will recover quickly after reasonable treatment, and some children with better health can recover quickly by relying on their own resistance. However, some children with weak resistance and poor physique may also recur respiratory infections, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, etc., which requires more attention and timely diagnosis and treatment.
So, in addition to treatment, are there any good preventive measures? Luo Wuzheng, the attending physician, said that during the cold epidemic, try not to go to public places to avoid contact with cold patients. Wash your hands frequently, drink more water, and open more windows and ventilate your living houses to keep indoor air circulating and fresh.
Let the child learn to increase or decrease clothes as soon as possible; to ensure adequate sleep, children try to fall asleep before 9 o'clock at night; reasonable diet, do not overeat; usually take the child to participate in outdoor activities, strengthen the body, enhance resistance.
