How to prevent colds in children in autumn 4 tips to effectively prevent colds in children in summer and autumn

The weather is cool and hot at the turn of summer and autumn. If parents forget to add clothes to their children in time, it is easy for them to catch a cold. Medical experts point out that most children's colds in this season are caused by cold, so parents must observe their children carefully. Once the following symptoms appear, they must be dealt with in time, which can often effectively control the cold.

Touch your child's hands at any time. If they are cold, it means that the child has caught a cold. Add clothes in time and let the child drink more warm water. If the hands still cannot warm up after adding clothes, it is necessary to deal with it in time. The treatment methods are:

①Children under 1 year old can drink brown sugar water. Brown sugar is warm in nature and can relieve cold.

② For children over 1 year old, you can add a piece of ginger, cut into thin slices the size of a one-yuan coin. For children over 3 years old, cut into two slices, add half a spoonful of brown sugar, and boil it into ginger and brown sugar water for the child to drink. Adults also have this experience. When you are caught in the rain or caught a cold, drinking a bowl of hot ginger and brown sugar water will immediately make you feel warm and comfortable. It has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on colds. In addition to the effect of "sweating and dispersing cold", ginger can also "warm the middle and stop vomiting", so it can also play a good therapeutic role in stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting caused by cold.

③ Before going to bed at night, soak your child's feet in warm water. Adults can touch their heads with their hands. As long as they sweat a little, it's fine. After soaking their feet, drink more warm water and let them go to bed as soon as possible.

④ When going to bed, you can rub the child's back up and down through the clothes to warm up the back, which can also help prevent colds. If the child has a mild nasal congestion, you can rub the child's ears until they turn red, which is also effective in treating nasal congestion.

If it is a summer-heat cold, it is recommended to boil water with coix seed and red bean and add some rock sugar. It can relieve heat and dampness. Many babies sweat a lot in summer, and their intestines are dry and hot, which makes them prone to constipation. In this case, you can drink a cup of warm salt water on an empty stomach in the morning, and then drink a spoonful of sesame oil, which can be effective for constipation.
