Can children soak their feet during the dog days? What should children pay attention to during the dog days?

The arrival of the dog days marks the arrival of midsummer. The dog days are the hottest time of the year. Children's gastrointestinal functions are not yet perfect, so they need to be more careful about their diet. Many cold foods need to be avoided. So what should children pay attention to during the dog days?

It is best not to soak children's feet during the dog days of summer. The soaking time should be after the age of five. Because the arch of the foot begins to form in childhood, it is necessary to pay attention to protection from an early age. If you often use hot water to wash children's feet, the ligaments on the soles of the feet will become loose, which is not conducive to the formation and maintenance of the arch of the foot, and it is easy to form flat feet. Therefore, it is best not to soak the feet of infants and young children. If children soak their feet, the water temperature must be below 40 degrees, and the time each time should not be too long.

1. In life, the time for children to soak their feet must be strictly controlled. They should not soak their feet for a long time to prevent damage to the ligaments of the feet.

2. For children, just wash their feet with warm water every day. After washing, you can gently massage their feet to relax their muscles and bones.

3. When washing feet with warm water, you must also control the time. It should not be too long. Children like to play in water and splash their feet, which will make the water cold. It is equivalent to soaking their feet in cold water, which makes them more likely to catch a cold.

1. Feed more water. If your baby sweats a lot, is irritable, or even has dry stools, these are signs of dehydration. Timely water replenishment is the best way to prevent dehydration, and boiled water that is similar to body temperature is the best choice.

2. Avoid high temperature periods when going out. Let your baby play outside in the cool mornings and evenings. When it is particularly hot at noon, turn on the air conditioner for your baby, as long as the temperature is not too low.

3. Drink lotus leaf porridge. Give your baby more light food, such as lotus leaf porridge, mung bean soup, etc., to prevent dehydration.

4. Get rid of heat in time: The hot summer not only brings us physical discomfort, but also easily causes more and more people to get angry. The best choice of food to get rid of heat in summer is bitter melon, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables that are cool and refreshing. At the same time, milk is slightly cold in nature, which can replenish water, nourish yin, and relieve heat and toxins. It is also a good product for "getting rid of heat".

5. Prevent diarrhea: When the temperature is high and the humidity is high, food is easy to spoil. In addition, some babies eat cold drinks, which can easily cause diarrhea. Generally, there are symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, etc. In severe cases, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and shock may occur. Pay attention to environmental hygiene and the hygiene of the baby's hands and food.
