    Winter is the season when children are prone to illness, which makes many parents very annoyed and get sick within a few days of kindergarten. In addition, it also has a certain impact on children's growth and development! In winter, children under the age of 6 are prone to colds and fevers for the following reasons:

    1. Young children's immune system is not yet fully developed, and it is easy to get sick if they do not pay attention to protection.

    Children under the age of the age have weak digestion ability of the spleen and stomach, and if they do not pay attention to it and overfeed, it is easy to hurt the spleen and accumulate food repeatedly, so the child is also prone to illness.

    3. Improper dressing of children is also an important reason why they are prone to colds and fevers in winter. The weather is very cold in winter, and parents are afraid that their children will catch a cold, so they dress their children in thick clothes, even though they do not help them take them off in time in the warm room. Children are prone to sweating in this environment, and after the pores (called Khan Fu in Chinese medicine) are opened, the wind and cold invade, so the child will catch a cold at every turn.

    What should we do to make our children less sick? 1. Every day to see the child's digestion, according to the child's digestion to adjust the day's diet, in addition, kindergarten children, parents need to pay attention to if the child has eaten a lot of things at school, then dinner should be appropriately reduced.

    Dietary adjustment is the most basic way to recuperate, because it can directly affect the child's spleen and stomach function. Children with a poor spleen and stomach will have deviant resistance, so they are prone to repeated illness. We can appropriately give children more foods such as radish and cabbage to help them get rid of the accumulated food in the stomach.

    2. Dress appropriately. When your child goes out, you can wear a few more clothes, but when you return to a warm room or in the car, you should help your child remove one or two coats in time to avoid your child sweating a lot and getting cold.

    3. Help the child touch the back every day, especially in the morning, you can use the back rubbing method to help the child warm up the body and resist the cold in the morning.

    The above three points are the most basic conditioning methods, if parents can grasp it well, without relying on drugs, the child's body will slowly get better.

    Personally, I think it's because these children's immunity is very low, and it has something to do with not adapting to the climate, so when it comes to winter, you must dress your baby more.

    1. When the temperature decreases, the air humidity will also decrease. When the humidity is low, it is easier for cold viruses that are spread through droplets such as sneezing and coughing to survive and multiply. 2. The closed room and dry air have become a large breeding ground for the entire virus.

    3. The indoor and outdoor temperature is unbalanced, the temperature is too low, too high, and the sanitary conditions are poor, which will reduce the child's ability to resist microorganisms for a while, and the bacteria and viruses from the outside world will have a better chance of invading the baby's body and causing colds.
