What should I do if my baby is always sick in kindergarten? How to prevent it?

Many parents send their children to kindergarten, but when they enter the school, the children start to catch colds all the time. So what should we do if our baby always gets sick in kindergarten? How to prevent babies from getting sick in kindergarten?

Reasons why babies catch colds at school

Common phenomenon: Colds are a very common problem among children. Some children may even catch colds many times a year. Of course, this is somewhat related to weather changes, but the most important factor is the relationship between resistance and immunity.

Poor adaptability: A school is a large group. As long as one child catches a cold, other children may be infected quickly. Even some younger children who are not able to adapt to this environment will consume more physical energy and make their resistance weaker.

Not wiping off sweat: When the body's immunity is weakened, germs will take advantage of it. Children's organs and immune systems are not fully developed, so their resistance is naturally weaker. In addition, children are active and sweating all over is common. If the sweat is not wiped off immediately after playing, it is easy to catch a cold.

Related symptoms: After being infected, many babies will have runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing, etc.; severe cases may cause high fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and may even cause more serious complications such as pneumonia.

Preventing colds in babies

Go outdoors and do more activities: The key to training your baby's physique is to get closer to nature. As long as you breathe more fresh air and do various exercises appropriately, your body's immunity will naturally improve. Exercise is more practical and more effective than taking other drugs to enhance the body's immunity.

Sweating to replenish water: When children sweat a lot after exercise, remind them to wipe the sweat off to prevent them from being blown by the wind and catching a cold. This can effectively prevent your baby from getting sick or catching a cold.

Good sleep quality: Your physical, mental, and intellectual state every day are directly related to the quality of your sleep the night before. Therefore, adequate sleep can not only strengthen your physique and prevent colds, but is also a basic factor in helping your body improve its quality of life.

Comprehensive and balanced diet: For children in the growth and development stage, any nutrition is indispensable, and the child’s diet should be rich and diverse, which can provide sufficient heat energy to the baby’s body, enhance the baby’s resistance and keep out the cold.

Cultivate hygienic habits: Children usually like to use their hands to grab or touch things randomly, and then touch their mouths or noses without washing them immediately, which gives germs an opportunity to invade and cause colds. Therefore, parents should educate children on the concept and behavior of washing hands frequently.

Isolation and cross-infection: If someone in the family is sick, they should avoid contact with the baby to prevent the child from being infected; if a baby is sick with a cold at school, they should also pay attention to isolation and prevention, and carry out necessary disinfection, ventilation and other treatment actions.

What to do if your baby has a cold
