According to research data, an urban child on average suffers from ARVI from 7 to 10 times a year. If the child is healthy, then in general ARVI disappears without a trace. The baby's body is imperfect. Therefore, a disease that is not cured in time can lead to serious consequences. Children of this age are best protected from infection. In particular, hardening from the diaper can reduce the incidence of the disease.
It is necessary
Ventilate the room, humidify the air, decoction of raisins or rose hips, paracetamol or aspirin, change the baby's diet
Instructions
Step 1
In case of a baby with ARVI, it is necessary to call a doctor at home. Because only he will be able to accurately determine the nature of the disease and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Step 2
Provide fresh air to the sick baby's room. In the summer, you can open the window wide open, and in the winter the window. If it is very cold and windy outside, ventilate the room in the absence of the child (move him to another room). This is necessary in order to lower the ambient air temperature.
Step 3
Usually, in the cold season, the air in the room is dry due to heating devices. Therefore, it should be moisturized. To do this, carry out wet cleaning in the patient's room several times a day, you can put a container of water or use a humidifier.
Step 4
If the baby's temperature has risen to 38 degrees, then it should be brought down. Otherwise, convulsions may occur. To do this, leave a minimum of clothing on it. Since the body must be able to lose heat. To avoid dehydration of the body, it is necessary to give the child more to drink. The best drink for children of the first year of life is a decoction of raisins. If it is not there, then you can give a decoction of rosehip berries, currants to drink. The higher the temperature, the more often we drink.
Step 5
Change diapers often, apply a cold compress to your forehead.
Step 6
If all the above methods do not help, then you can give your baby two drugs at home - paracetamol (preferably in candles) and aspirin before the doctor arrives.
Step 7
The stomach of a sick baby also needs a sparing regimen. For example, a baby can increase the number of feeds to 10 by decreasing the volume of breast milk or formula.
Step 8
If the child has fallen asleep, then you should not wake him up in order to measure the temperature or give medicine. Except when it is vital. Sleep is one of the best treatments.
