Warm tips for cold and cough in kindergarten in winter

Answer 1

Dear parents,

Winter was coming, and the weather was cold and dry. Children were prone to catching cold and coughing. For the sake of the child's health, the warm reminder is as follows:

** 1. Food and drink **
1. Maintain a reasonable diet. According to the child's growth and development needs, timely add complementary food, add more fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, fish, and meat rich in vitamins, balance nutrition, prevent children from being picky eaters, and avoid the decline of body resistance due to the lack of vitamins and trace elements. At the same time, he should replenish some water to prevent dryness of the respiratory tract and reduce the occurrence of respiratory diseases.
2. Control the child's diet. Don't let the child eat too much to avoid food accumulation and constipation, because dry food in the large intestine will cause an increase in the death rate of engulfs and a decrease in the resistance of lung tissue, which will lead to repeated lung and respiratory tract infections.
3. During the coughing period, don't give the child too greasy, spicy, and stimulating food, which is not conducive to the calming of the cough.

** 2. Skin Care **
The winter was dry and cold. The child's skin lost more water, and the sebaceous glands secreted less. It was easy to dry and itch. She wanted the child to eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, wash his hands and feet with hot water, and apply some skin cream appropriately.

** 3. In terms of outdoor activities **
1. She insisted on letting the child do outdoor activities. When the weather is cold, you can choose when the sun is sufficient and the wind is small. Let the child move in nature for half an hour to an hour, which can improve the child's physique. However, don't let the child sit on the cold ground. Because the ground temperature is low in winter, the child's body heat will be lost a lot when sitting on it, and it is easy to catch a cold and diarrhea.
2. Get more sun. Ultraviolet rays in the sun could kill viruses and bacteria on the surface of the human body, help the child absorb calcium and phosphorus, enhance the body's resistance to disease, and also increase the oxygen content of red blood cells, enhance the skin's temperature regulation and nervous system activity skills.

** 4. In terms of indoor environment **
1. Regular ventilation, pay attention to the room temperature. The suitable temperature for the human body in winter was 20 degrees Celsius. When it was higher than 23 degrees Celsius, people would feel dizzy and tired. In addition, it was easy to catch a cold if the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was large. Winter heating would cause the indoor and outdoor temperature difference to be too large (especially in the north). The indoor temperature was high and the humidity was relatively low. In addition, the windows were closed and the air circulation was poor. The density of microorganisms was high, and pathogenic bacteria and viruses were easy to invade the child's body. Therefore, even in winter, they should open the window regularly to increase the indoor humidity, such as putting a wet towel on the heater or putting a basin of water next to the heater.
2. Keep the air in the room fresh. Dirty air could cause respiratory tract mucus to become congested, oedema, abnormal secretion, or aggravate coughing. In serious cases, it could cause wheezing symptoms.

** 5. Reduce the source of infection **
1. Winter was the season when respiratory infectious diseases were prevalent. Try to avoid taking children to crowded public places, such as cinemas, gathering places, large shopping malls, etc.
2. She urged the child not to touch dirty things and wash his hands frequently to prevent the disease from entering his mouth.

** 6. Dressing **
1. The clothes given to the child should be warm and comfortable. The child's small hands and feet were still in the development stage. If the clothes were too tight, it would cause the blood vessels and muscles to tighten, pressing on the limbs and even the internal organs and nerves. Loose cotton sportswear is recommended. Tight-fitting clothes and pants are not recommended. Jeans and other close-fitting clothes were not conducive to children's exercise and even hindered their growth and development. Loose sportswear could absorb sweat and keep warm, ensuring that children's outdoor activities were not restricted.
2. It was recommended to wear undergarments and a thick coat. It was not recommended to wear many thin clothes. Wearing a lot of thin clothes was not only troublesome to put on and take off, but also not conducive to exercise. Moreover, the indoor temperature of the kindergarten was high and did not require too thick clothes. By folding multiple thin clothes into one thick coat, it was convenient to put on and take off and was beneficial for exercise.

** VII. Food therapy to prevent cough (for reference)**
1. Cold, cold, cough: Try 10 pieces of pepper, one pear, and 5 pieces of rock sugar. He removed the core of the washed snow pear, filled it with pepper and rock sugar, and steamed it in the pot for about half an hour.
2. Cough caused by a cold: 5 pieces of ginger, 200 grams of brown sugar. He cut the ginger into slices and placed them in the pot. He added two bowls of water and brown sugar and boiled them.
3. expectorant cough: water chestnut (water chestnut) 30 grams, lily 1 gram, pear 1, rock sugar appropriate. He washed the water chestnuts, peeled them, and mashed them. He washed the snow pears, cut them into pieces, and removed the cores. After washing the lily, he mixed the three together and boiled them with water. Then, he added an appropriate amount of rock sugar and boiled them until they were cooked. He took them while they were hot.
4. moisten the lungs and cough: 1 pear, 6 grams of Fritillaria, 20 grams of rock sugar. He hollowed out the snow pear, crushed the Fritillary Cirrus into powder, and added it into the pear. He placed it in a large bowl and heated it with water. He added rock sugar to the water and heated it for half an hour before taking it.
