When a child is ill, the thought slips hundreds of times that it is better to get sick yourself than to see how the baby is suffering. Sometimes, we blame ourselves for not saving the baby from the disease. In childhood, children most often get colds, which are so easy to pick up anywhere. What measures to take and how to protect children from colds is a question that worries most parents.
Instructions
Step 1
Strengthen your child's immunity. It is best to resort to folk methods. Using medicines to strengthen, often the opposite effect is obtained, and the immune system only weakens even more. Brew herbal teas, rose hips. Monitor your baby's nutrition. Chips, various candies rich in E-additives, sodas and other similar foods that seem so tasty to him should be excluded from the diet. Try to feed your child with healthy and natural products that do not harm the growing body, but, on the contrary, provide all the necessary substances for growth and development.
Step 2
Pay special attention to hardening the baby's body. Study the literature on tempering, talk to educators. They will teach you how to properly start preparing for the procedures, since otherwise, the child may get sick due to the unpreparedness of the body. Hardening is a system of procedures that increase the body's resistance to adverse environmental influences. Therefore, children who have been tempered from the first days of life are much less sick with colds.
Step 3
Teach your child to be physically active. Before kindergarten, practice joint physical education, sign up for additional lessons in kindergarten, subsequently, enroll the baby in some section that promotes physical development.
Step 4
During the period of epidemics, smear the child's nose with antiviral ointment, add garlic and onions to food. Avoid contact with sick people, if contact is inevitable, wear a mask on the baby. To prevent colds during these periods, you can give vitamins and take antiviral drugs.
