How to prevent viral influenza for babies

The prevention of viral influenza in babies is mainly carried out by strengthening personal protection, maintaining indoor air circulation, and paying attention to dietary conditioning. If your baby is already showing symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.

1. Strengthen personal protection: Parents should avoid taking their babies to crowded public places, such as shopping malls and movie theaters, to avoid exposure to the virus and causing infection. Pay attention to wearing a mask when going out to reduce contact with sick people;

2. Maintain indoor air circulation: The indoor air should be kept fresh, and the windows should be opened for ventilation for about half an hour every day to ensure indoor air circulation.In cold weather, a humidifier can be used to increase the humidity in the room to avoid damage to the respiratory mucosa due to dryness;

3. Pay attention to dietary conditioning: usually give your baby more water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes and apples. At the same time, it is also necessary to supplement protein appropriately, such as eggs, milk, etc. You can also eat some heat-clearing and detoxifying foods in moderation, such as mung bean soup, white fungus lotus seed soup, etc.;

4. Vaccination: At present, there are two vaccines on the market: influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine. The flu vaccine is generally given between September and October each year, and the best results are given between December and January of the following year. Pneumococcal vaccines are usually started after 6 months and 3 doses are given before 2 years of age.

In addition to the above measures, you should also pay attention to the baby's warmth in daily life, and increase or decrease clothing according to temperature changes. If the baby has symptoms such as fever and cough, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
