How to judge whether the baby has bronchitis? How to prevent bronchitis in children?

Bronchitis in children is a respiratory disease, and autumn and winter are the peak seasons for bronchitis in children. Once the baby is infected, he will cough and have a fever. Therefore, parents should take preventive measures for their children to prevent them from being infected with the virus.

Judging from the clinical symptoms, infantile bronchitis is generally an upper respiratory tract infection symptom, and then cough is the main symptom. At first, there will be frequent and deep dry coughs, and then there will be bronchial secretions. The cough usually lasts for 7 to 10 days, sometimes lingering for 2 to 3 weeks, or recurring. Patients with mild infantile bronchitis generally have no obvious symptoms. Infants and young children have more severe symptoms, and they are prone to fatigue, affecting their sleep and appetite. The fever may be 38 to 39°C, occasionally up to 40°C, and it will subside in 2 to 3 days. Even digestive tract symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain may occur. Older children complain of headaches and chest pain, which are all symptoms of bronchitis. 2 Judging from the examination and diagnosis, dry and wet rales can be heard in the chest, and the rales may be coarse or fine, mostly medium wet rales. The symptoms of pediatric bronchitis are mainly scattered in the lower chest, and occasionally limited to one side. After coughing up the secretions, the rales can be temporarily reduced. Occasionally, due to too much sputum in the bronchi, the breath sounds may be reduced, but after coughing up the sputum, the breath sounds return to normal.

1. Abdominal breathing. To prevent baby bronchitis, you should pay attention to abdominal breathing, keep the airway open, and increase lung capacity, which will reduce the onset of chronic bronchitis. For prevention, you should try to raise your abdomen when inhaling, and make your abdomen concave when exhaling. You should exercise 2-3 times a day, each time for 10-20 minutes.

2. Keep warm. In the prevention of bronchitis, you should also pay attention to keeping your body warm. You should add or remove clothes for your child in time with the temperature changes. In particular, you should cover the child with a blanket when the baby is sleeping. At the same time, the body temperature should be kept above 36.5℃, which is also helpful for prevention.

3. Strengthen exercise. To prevent baby bronchitis, you should also pay attention to strengthening exercise. Exercising more to strengthen your physical fitness is also a good way to exercise. Especially when your body's resistance is low, you should pay attention to physical exercise. You can do non-violent exercise suitable for children.

4. Diet. For baby bronchitis, this disease should also be prevented from the perspective of diet. The baby should pay attention to eating more easily digestible, high-calorie and vitamin-rich foods in daily diet. It is also best to eat soft foods. At the same time, the patient should pay attention to drinking water appropriately in daily diet.

1. Do not eat fried and spicy foods. Fried foods are difficult to digest and can easily cause internal heat. Fried foods can easily cause phlegm and block the lungs, which can aggravate cough and asthma symptoms. Spicy foods include peppers, onions, garlic, etc. These foods can easily cause heat and phlegm after consumption, and can irritate the bronchial mucosa, resulting in local edema, which can aggravate cough and asthma symptoms.

2. Do not eat fishy foods. Children must not eat some irritating foods, including fishy foods, during coughing, so as not to aggravate the cough. These foods contain a lot of protein, and children are prone to protein allergies, which can irritate the respiratory tract. Also, they should not eat foods that are too sour or sweet, which can easily make it difficult to cough up phlegm, thus aggravating the condition.

3. Do not eat cold food. Children with bronchitis usually have a long course of illness, and most of them are caused by insufficient spleen and stomach yang. Therefore, children with bronchitis must not eat cold food to avoid strong stimulation to the body. Cold food will harm the baby's lungs, spleen and stomach, and it is easy to cause lung qi occlusion, which will aggravate the disease.
