A few days of light rain have put an end to this year's hot weather, which also means that the autumn has officially arrived.
After entering the autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the weather is warm and cool, which is a great challenge for children with weak resistance, and it is easy to get sick if you are not careful, especially the following four situations, which should be paid more attention to by parents.
01
diarrhoea
These days, more and more children are seeing diarrhea in the pediatric outpatient clinics of hospitals, especially children under 3 years old. Some children have fever, vomiting, and pulling more than a dozen or twenty times a day, but they turn around and start diarrhea again, which makes parents their hearts.
In fact, children's diarrhea is very common in autumn, which is an acute enteritis caused by rotavirus, which mainly affects children with low resistance from 2 months to 5 years old, and the incidence is mostly in September to December, so it is called autumn diarrhea.
The main features are: vomiting first and then diarrhea, accompanied by fever, stools are watery or egg flower soup-like, the course of the disease is self-limiting, even with medication can not significantly change the course of the disease.
In cases of diarrhea in children, mild cases can be cured by medication, and severe cases may cause dehydration and death. Therefore, mothers must pay enough attention to be prepared to prevent the virus, and once the child has diarrhea, it must be sent to the hospital immediately.
How to deal with it:
(1) Strengthen children's personal hygiene and cleaning, try to avoid direct contact with children's hands, and remember to wash their hands before eating and after going to the toilet.
(2) Pay attention to the warmth of the abdomen, increase or decrease clothing in time according to the weather conditions, and avoid increasing gastrointestinal peristalsis.
(3) Vaccination with rotavirus vaccine can reduce the occurrence of infection, or avoid aggravation after infection.
(4) The usual nutritional balance and strengthening exercise can enhance the baby's resistance and prevent many diseases, including rotavirus.
(5) Supplement with high-quality probiotics, vitamin C, zinc and other nutritional supplements to help fight inflammation and repair the intestines.

get angry
Many mothers say that the autumn climate is too dry, children are always prone to bubbles and constipation in the corners of their mouths, and their temper is also very grumpy, and they really don't like to spend autumn.
Indeed, in autumn, due to climatic reasons, it is easy to make people catch fire, and the symptoms are: mouth ulcers, swollen gums, bleeding gums, dry throat, dry mouth, short urine, irritability, headache and dizziness, dry eyes, poor sleep quality, etc.
For the key to preventing autumn dryness from the fire, mothers still have to start from the diet, reasonably arrange the child's three meals, under the premise of balanced diet, appropriate to the sweet taste of food tilt, so that you can avoid the child's lack of water and fire.
(1) In terms of protein foods, try to choose eggs, duck, fish, beans and other high-quality protein foods, which have the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing, suitable for autumn consumption;
(2) Staple foods should eat more coarse grains such as cereal, corn, and pumpkin, and then add lotus leaves, hawthorn and other boiled porridge, as well as the effect of appetizing and preventing food accumulation;
(3) Eat more seasonal vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, lotus root, cabbage, grapes, grapefruit, and other fruits, and supplement vitamins;
(4) At the same time, carry the child to eat fried or too sweet and spicy snacks to avoid irritating the stomach and intestines;
(5) Drink more water and keep the urine faint and clear yellow.

cough
In ancient times, some people called autumn "eventful autumn", and this idiom is especially suitable for small children.
Because after the autumn, the weather is dry, the temperature fluctuations are relatively large, and the children's lungs are more delicate, it is easy to have respiratory diseases, and the autumn cough of children is one of them.
What needs to be reminded is that parents must not underestimate the autumn cough, if it is not stopped in time, the child will easily develop into bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., and it will be troublesome to think about treatment at that time.
(1) Sweat immediately to use a towel to separate, do not take off the clothes, so as not to get cold, especially pay attention to the warmth of the chest and feet;
(2) Go to bed as early as possible, maintain good sleep, and enhance immunity;
(3) Do not eat greasy and spicy food, eat more hot soup porridge;
(4) Soak your feet with hot water at night to open up the meridians;
(5) Give the child more ginger soup water, which can disperse the cold evil from the body surface, let the jin liquid return to the body surface, and reduce the coldness.

Poor spirits
Yesterday I had tea with two teacher friends, and the friend said: "There are still a few weeks to go to the midterm exam, but the children in the class are like frosted eggplants, groggy all day, without a little spirit, really sad for me." ”
Another friend said: "Our children are the same, they can't wake up every day, and they always yawn on the way to school, which should be 'autumn fatigue'." ”
Why are children weak in the fall? In fact, this is because of the impact of the autumn climate on people.
After entering the autumn, the extreme heat is gradually replaced by the cold, and the various systems of the human body have also changed accordingly, such as reduced sweating, the generation and distribution of body heat, and the restoration of water and salt metabolism to balance. At this time, the human body needs to have a physiological rest stage, and it just so happens that the autumn night is cool and easy to fall asleep, so that after waking up in the morning, it is still tired, which is the reason for the "autumn fatigue".
In addition, autumn fatigue may also be related to diet, autumn appetite will be better than usual, so it is easy to overeat, will make the brain's blood supply reduce, so that energy metabolism disorders, thereby affecting the normal play of brain function, making people feel sleepy.
(1) Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep per day;
(2) More sun exposure, let the sun inhibit the secretion of melatonin, reduce fatigue;
(3) Stretch your waist and comb your hair frequently, relax the functions of the body, and promote blood circulation;
(4) Supplement vitamin C, maintain sufficient energy, relieve fatigue and fatigue;
(5) Exercise diligently to ensure the strength of the body.
In order to ensure the health of children, mothers in the autumn especially pay attention to diet collocation, it is best to let children eat some eggs, carrots supplement vitamin A, more sun can supplement vitamin D, or oral calcium tablets, but also to eat more seasonal fruits, it is best not to eat too much anti-seasonal fruits, so as not to cause physical discomfort.
