Winter is the season when babies are prone to rhinitis, and factors such as cold weather, dry air, and easy transmission of bacteria and viruses all increase the risk of rhinitis for babies. In order to prevent winter rhinitis in babies, parents can pay attention to the following aspects:
1.Keep the room moist.
Dry air in winter can easily lead to dryness of the baby's nasal mucosa, increasing the risk of infection. Using a humidifier to maintain indoor humidity and regular ventilation can effectively reduce the occurrence of rhinitis.
2.Keep warm and avoid the cold.
Cold weather can easily cause babies to catch colds, and colds are one of the common causes of rhinitis. Dress your baby appropriately, avoid windy weather, and minimize the amount of time your baby spends in a cold environment.
3.Clean your baby's nasal passages regularly.
Use saline or nasal cleanser to help your baby clean his or her nasal passages regularly to prevent nasal secretions from accumulating and reduce the chance of bacterial growth. In addition, nasal breast milk can be used to lubricate your baby's nasal passages and keep them moist.
4.Diet.
Adding foods rich in vitamins C, E, zinc, etc., to your baby's diet can help boost immunity and reduce the risk of infection. Mix your baby's diet reasonably and avoid eating too much irritating food.
5.Avoid secondhand smoke.
The harmful substances in secondhand smoke cause harm to the baby's respiratory system and can easily lead to rhinitis. Keep your baby's living and moving environment clean and avoid living in a smoking environment.
6.Take precautions against colds.
Colds are a common cause of rhinitis, so it's important to take precautions. Avoid close contact between your baby and people who have a cold and maintain good personal hygiene.
