High temperature .
During the rest, high fever in the baby can cause a number of factors: supercooled in cold water, overheated in the sun, climate change and so on. If the child's fever has risen above 38 degrees, try to knock it off with paracetamol (by the way, when you go with your child to rest, remember that without a first aid kit and the medications you need in it, you better not just go). But on the head of the baby it is necessary to put a cold compress. You can also wrap a child around with a cold sheet.

Bleeding from the nose .
As a rule, it can begin because the kid spent a lot of time in the sun or was very tired over the day. You need to comfortably sit crumbs, tilt your head forward slightly, while holding the body straight, unbutton the collar and waistband of the baby. Clean the nasal cavity from the clots of blood and mucus formed there. Clamp the nostrils for five minutes, put a cold compress on the nose and the back of the head. If after all the bleeding still does not stop, call a doctor.
Necessarily: remember that tipping the head back to the child is strictly prohibited, since the blood can get into the respiratory tract.
A strong cough .
The reasons are the same: water, sun and even allergies. But most often such coughing attacks begin at night from bronchitis or ARVI. From the contact of the cold and the hot body in the sun, the immune system, as a rule, gets a lot of stress. So the child's long stay in the water, ice cream and cold drinks, being in wet clothes and even drafts - this all causes a cold disease.

It is best before the doctor arrives not to give the baby food and try to induce vomiting. To prevent dehydration, give your child plenty of drink. If everything works out, let the child stay on a diet for a couple of days: do not use dairy, fresh vegetables and fruits, juices from them.
