4. Let go of anxiety and use patience, confidence and determination
Everyone who is a mother must understand the anxiety and helplessness of parents when the baby is sick. The mood of general mothers is to hope that the baby will be better soon. But every disease has a recovery period, and it takes about a week or so to get better.
Therefore, when the baby is sick, every parent needs to calm down first. Carefully observe the baby's mental state, carefully recall the baby's diet and condition in recent times, especially to recall whether there is any special condition.
In this way, it is easier for the mother to know whether the baby's situation is urgent, and she can be more aware of it. Even if you go to the hospital, you can describe your baby's condition to the doctor in more detail.
If you are not sure about the symptoms, you must first go to the hospital to check the diagnosis problem. Don't hide your illness from medical treatment. Go to the hospital early and rest assured. If your baby is really sick, you can also diagnose the problem earlier.
Once the problem is diagnosed, the mother needs patience, confidence and determination to look at the baby's disease. In general, babies will get common diseases, and many common diseases are self-healing. As long as it is properly controlled, it can also stimulate the immunity in the body.
Take cough, for example, Western medicine believes that cough is caused by bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other pathogenic microorganisms invading the human body, causing nasopharynx, tonsils, trachea and bronchi to cause lung infection.
Therefore, the most commonly used method of Western medicine to treat cough is anti-inflammatory drugs and cough suppressants! Anti-inflammatory drugs are really effective when they are first used, and it is possible to see results immediately! But anti-inflammatory drugs destroy the body's immunity and are very harmful to the body.
The most likely consequence of using anti-inflammatory drugs is that the condition is particularly prone to recurrence.
Many mothers must have a similar experience, when the baby is sick, go to the hospital to take medicine, hanging water, the condition is under control, but the baby's health is getting worse and worse, to the end of the average month to go to the hospital. Adults are tired, babies are annoyed.
If you ask the doctor why this is so, the doctor will mostly tell you that you are born with poor physical fitness. Now the substance is so rich, everyone pays attention to nutrition during pregnancy, and even many premature babies can grow up healthily, not to mention the babies who are born with good conditions in all aspects?
Therefore, once the diagnosis of the baby is suffering from a common disease, everyone needs to put down anxiety, strengthen confidence, and choose some healthier, safer, less harmful green therapy to treat the baby. So when your baby is sick, you must first strengthen your confidence, patience and determination!
Especially the use of pediatric massage techniques, we must have confidence, countless mothers have used it and found that pediatric massage is very effective.
5. Three-point rule, seven-point nutrition
As the saying goes, "three points, seven points", if you want to cure children's cough, you must pay attention to "raising".
1. Timely increase or decrease of clothing quilts
Children have a hot constitution, so many babies cough not because of cold cough, but because of wearing too much, eating too hot caused by lung fever cough.
When the weather gets cold, the child's clothing must be paid attention to, the baby's clothes are the same as the parents' clothes, and even make the baby's clothes one less than the adult's. Spring and autumn freeze, let the baby be properly frozen, but can enhance immunity.
2. Maintain proper humidity
If the environment is too dry, the air humidity decreases, the mucous membrane is dry and brittle, the small blood vessels may rupture and bleed, the ciliary movement is restricted, and the sputum is not easy to cough out. Therefore, keep the room moderate humidity and let your baby drink more water at the same time.
3. Strictly control diet
This is the most important aspect. As the saying goes, "fish make fire, meat produce phlegm, and green vegetables and tofu keep safe." Chinese medicine believes that fish, crabs, shrimp and fatty meat and other fishy, greasy foods may help wet phlegm, and some may also cause allergic reactions and aggravate the condition.
Spicy products such as peppers, peppers, and ginger have a stimulating effect on the respiratory tract, making cough worse, and should be avoided. Fresh vegetables such as greens, carrots, tomatoes, etc., can supply a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts, which is conducive to the recovery of the body's metabolic function.
During coughing, it is necessary to strictly control the diet, refuse fish, shrimp, seafood and other foods that are prone to occur, and eat less beef and mutton. Focus on a light diet. Otherwise the cough will be aggravated. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish whether the baby is hot or cold.
