Autumn rain brings a chill, and the temperature difference at night gradually increases. People have already felt the coolness of autumn. In this season, there are 5 diseases that are most likely to afflict babies. Parents should be vigilant. Let's take a closer look with the editor!
The five diseases that harm children's health are:
1. Cold
Autumn is the season when the influenza virus is most prevalent. Children have low resistance and are easily attacked by the flu.
2. Diarrhea
Autumn is the peak season for children's diarrhea, usually caused by rotavirus and often occurs during the autumn freeze season.
3. Tracheitis
The high incidence of organ inflammation in autumn is usually caused by respiratory syncytial virus infection.
The weather in autumn is complex and changeable. If the baby's body temperature changes too quickly, inhaling smoke, pollen, wool, and other irritants can cause bronchial infection.
4. Rhinitis
In autumn, children sneeze incessantly because the temperature changes greatly, resulting in increased air dust and sand. Their immune system is not yet fully developed, and their resistance is weak, which can easily lead to rhinitis.
5. Allergic dermatitis
In autumn, the air contains a large amount of animal dander, various pollens, and dust, which can easily cause allergic dermatitis in babies with weak resistance.
Prevention of children's autumn diseases:
1. Maintain ventilation and frequently sun the bedding
Fresh indoor air is beneficial to the health of children. It can not only disinfect and remove odors but also make babies more comfortable.
2. Do not rush to add clothes
After the autumn arrives, the temperature begins to drop. Mothers do not need to rush to add clothes to their babies. "Keep warm in spring and cool in autumn" allows babies to experience suitable cool stimulation, which helps to exercise their cold resistance.
During the transition of seasons, the temperature is unstable, and the summer heat has not completely dissipated. Adding too many clothes early on can easily lead to catching a cold when the temperature rises and sweating occurs.
3. Give the baby more water to drink
Babies with tracheitis may have a fever of varying degrees, and water evaporates more, so it is important to give the baby more water to drink.
The diet should be semi-liquid to increase the body's water content and meet its needs.
4. Avoid exposing the baby to allergens
Dust, mites, fungi, and other allergens can easily cause rhinitis in babies. Pay attention to indoor ventilation and keep the home clean and sanitary.
In home decoration, reduce the use of curtains and carpets, and avoid using feather pillows, down quilts, and foam mattresses.
Do not let the baby get close to cats, dogs, crows, and other pets. During the pollen season, do not take the baby to places with abundant flowers and trees, and do not pick or smell flowers and plants casually.
5. Clean the corners of the house
Maintain a clean indoor environment and clean up the corners of the house, especially in hot and humid places such as bathrooms and basements.
Mothers can use dehumidifiers and air filters, and regularly replace the filter screens to reduce the exposure to mold and pollen. Air conditioner filters should also be cleaned regularly.
