Recall the baby's diet in the recent stage, and observe the spleen and stomach reflex area on the baby's tongue to see if there are symptoms such as white and thick tongue coating, yellow and greasy. If there is, or even bad breath, it is likely that it is overeating.

4. Let go of anxiety and use patience, confidence and determination

Everyone who is a mother must understand the anxiety and helplessness of parents when their babies are sick. Generally, the mood of mothers is to hope that the baby will get better soon. But every disease has a recovery period, and it takes about a week or so to get better.

 

Therefore, when the baby is sick, every parent needs to calm down first. Carefully observe the baby's mental state, carefully recall the baby's diet and condition in recent times, especially recall whether there is any special condition.

In this way, it is easier for the mother to know whether the baby's situation is urgent, and it is also better to know in her heart. Even if you go to the hospital, you can describe your baby's condition to the doctor in more detail.

 

If you can't get the symptoms yourself, you must go to the hospital first to check and diagnose the problem. Don't shy away from medical treatment. Go to the hospital early, rest assured early. If the baby is really sick, the problem can also be diagnosed earlier.

 

Once the problem is diagnosed, it is time for the mother to look at her baby's illness with patience, confidence and determination. Generally, babies will get common diseases, and many common diseases are self-healing. As long as it is properly controlled, it can also stimulate the immunity in the body.

 

Taking cough as an example, Western medicine believes that cough is caused by bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other pathogenic microorganisms that invade the human body and cause lung infection in the nasopharynx, tonsils, trachea and bronchi.

Therefore, the most commonly used methods for Western medicine to treat cough are anti-inflammatory drugs and cough suppressants! Anti-inflammatory drugs are really effective when you first start using them, and they may work right away! But anti-inflammatory drugs destroy the body's immunity and are very harmful to the body.

The most common consequence of the use of anti-inflammatory drugs is that the condition is particularly prone to recurrence.

 

Many mothers must have similar experiences, when the baby is sick, go to the hospital to take medicine, hanging water, the condition is controlled, but the baby's health is getting worse and worse, and in the end an average of once a month to go to the hospital. Adults are tired, babies are annoying.

If you ask your doctor why this is the case, most of them will tell you that you are born with poor constitution. Now that the material is so abundant, everyone pays attention to nutrition during pregnancy, and even many premature babies can grow up healthily, not to mention the babies who are born in good conditions in all aspects?

 

Therefore, once the baby is diagnosed with a common disease, you need to let go of anxiety, strengthen your confidence, and choose some greener and safer green therapies that are less harmful to the body to treat the baby. So when your baby is sick, you should first strengthen your faith, patience and determination!

Especially when using pediatric massage, you must be confident, countless mothers have found that pediatric massage is very effective.

5. Three points of rule, seven points of nourishment

As the saying goes, "three points of treatment, seven points of nourishment", if you want to cure children's cough, you must pay attention to "nourishment".

1. Increase or decrease clothes in time

Children have a hot physique, so many babies cough not because of cold cough, but because they wear too much and eat too hot, causing lung fever cough.

When the weather gets cold, the child's clothes must be paid attention to, the baby's clothes are the same as the parents' clothes, and even the baby's clothes are one less than the adult's. Covering the spring and autumn frost, so that the baby is properly frozen, can enhance immunity.

 

2. Maintain proper humidity

If the environment is too dry, the air humidity decreases, the mucous membranes become dry and brittle, small blood vessels may rupture and bleed, ciliary movement is limited, and sputum is not easy to cough up. Therefore, keep the room at a moderate humidity and let your baby drink plenty of water at the same time.

 

3. Strictly control your diet

This is the most important aspect. As the saying goes, "Fish makes fire, meat produces phlegm, and green vegetables and tofu keep safe". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fish, crab, shrimp and fatty meat and other fishy and greasy foods may help dampness and phlegm, and some may also cause allergic reactions and aggravate the condition.

Spicy products such as chili, pepper, and ginger have an irritating effect on the respiratory tract and aggravate the cough, so be careful to avoid them. Fresh vegetables such as greens, carrots, tomatoes, etc., can provide a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts, which are conducive to the recovery of the body's metabolic function.

 

During the cough period, be sure to strictly control the diet, refuse fish, shrimp, seafood and other foods that are prone to occur, and eat less beef and mutton. Eat a light diet. Otherwise, the cough will worsen. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish whether the baby has a hot cough or a cold cough.

Tips:

During pediatric massage operation, the operator can use massage oil as a lubricating medium on his hands, on the one hand, to prevent damage to the child's tender skin; On the other hand, it reduces astringency and makes it easy to operate.
