Common colds in children are related to the immature development of their immune systems. Children have narrow nasal passages, tender mucous membranes, and insufficient secretions from mucous glands, which are relatively dry, leading to poorer adaptation to the external environment and resistance to viruses, making them susceptible to catching colds.
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course. (If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
1. Give your baby less fried and fast food. 2. Encourage your baby to exercise outdoors and get sunlight, which helps to enhance their immunity. 3. To determine if the baby is dressed appropriately, do not judge by the temperature of their hands and feet. Because babies have relatively less blood flow to their hands and feet compared to other organs, they can easily feel cold in winter, and quickly warm up after activity. There is a simple way to tell: let the baby move freely for 10 minutes, if the baby's face is rosy and the clothes next to the body are warm, it means the amount of clothing is just right; if the baby's face and lips are red and the clothes next to the body are a bit wet, it means too many clothes, and some should be reduced; if the face is not rosy and the clothes next to the body are dry and cool, it means the baby's clothes are too few, and should be increased appropriately. 4.
