Diseases and treatment of children during this time.
Cold or fever and cough are very usual incidents for children in winter. Paracetamol syrup according to age for fever, Histacin or Alatrol for runny nose, Salbutamol syrup for cough can help the child recover. Many people do not need it. Clean the nose with salt water and feed breast milk and sufficient fluids. Basak leaf juice and honey work well in this case. Most of the cold and cough that children get in winter are viral. They do not need antibiotics. Therefore, using antibiotics without the advice of a specialist doctor may do more harm than good to the child.
Most colds and fevers get better with home treatment. Apart from a cold or fever, if the child breathes rapidly (60 per minute for newborns, 50 per minute for up to 1 year, and more than 40 times per minute after that); if the chest is lowered; if the fever is high for several days in a row; if he becomes very weak and cries a lot, you should go to the doctor.
If the child becomes unconscious, has a seizure, is refusing to eat anything, or vomiting everything he eats, he should be taken to the hospital without any delay.
The respiratory tract of a child is very sensitive. Thus, the incidence of asthma increases in winter. In order to prevent this disease, do not keep carpets in the house or bedroom. Do not use hairy sheets or blankets. To cure asthma, Salbutamol syrup can be given half a teaspoon for children under one year and one teaspoon for children from one to five years, three times a day.
The skin and respiratory system of the child are sensitive and underdeveloped. The child, therefore, cannot preserve the heat. He catches cold easily. Therefore, he should be decently dressed in winter clothes during this period. But again, it does not mean that the child should be tightly covered with a blanket and wrapped. The necessary precautions should be taken regarding the comfortability of winter clothes. As there is less sweating in winter, the child urinates more. For that, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the newborn’s shoulders are getting wet or whether the pants of a slightly older child are getting wet. When many people see that their children urinate more, they reduce breast milk and liquid food intake of the children. This is the wrong step, which must not be taken. It also can damage the kidneys and other organs.
In winter, one must use good quality lotion or cream to care for the baby’s tender skin. It is not only to be used on the face but all over the body. Keeping the child in the sun for sufficient time is absolutely necessary. There is no obstacle to bathing in winter. You can bathe the child regularly with lukewarm water. Many people apply mustard oil before bathing. There is no scientific basis for this, but there is no harm either. However, while bathing, care should be taken to see that water does not enter the ears. The body should be wiped thoroughly. It should be remembered that like in different seasons, in winter also children can suffer from various diseases, it is not a special thing. There is no reason to worry about this.
