How can I prevent my child from catching colds frequently?

Patient's question:

Coughing and runny nose began two days ago with high fever and yellow thick nasal discharge. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever subsided, but coughing and runny nose continued. What kind of assistance do you need: Hello, how to treat and comprehensively prevent and control...

Doctor's answer:

Moreover, your child's activity level is extremely low. Due to frequent fever, treatment is often incomplete or respiratory inflammation may persist. Frequent medication can also weaken the child's immunity. When climatic changes exceed the child's adaptability, they are prone to getting sick.
Recommendations: Fever is a common and prevalent illness. Prevention is more important than treatment. The focus of prevention should be on daily health care.
1. Pay attention to temperature changes. When the body is exposed to cold, blood vessels in the respiratory tract constrict, increasing blood supply and boosting local antibodies. This creates an opportunity for blood-borne pathogens to invade.
2. Avoid overexertion. The immune system is weaker and resistance is lower at this time.
3. Prevent mental stress and worry. Medical experts have found that individuals under stress or overly sensitive may experience reduced local immunity.
4. Frequently air out bedding. Sweat and oils from the body that accumulate on bedding can promote the growth of bacteria and viruses after washing.
