The breast child became ill with acute respiratory disease

When carrying out manipulations, do you act in accordance with the doctor's advice and hygiene rules? Do not forget about the emotions of the baby! When the crumb is sick, we have to do what he does not like, which he instinctively refuses. Well, who likes taking tasteless medicines or digging in your nose!

Nevertheless, without tears and cries, you can and should do. Play with the baby, instead of threatening and showing violence! And do not tune in advance to fight. Remain calm, remember that your mood is transmitted to the baby. You will manage to distract him from unpleasant sensations, and everything will pass like clockwork. How to cure a child, find out in the article on the topic "A baby kid has fallen ill".

Shred the chest and back

Doctors are often advised to rub the back or chest of a cold with a curative ointment based on aromatic oils. These funds are very warm. However, the crumb can be frightened by unusual manipulations. Especially if you will initially approach the procedures with caution, perhaps remembering your own negative childish experience ... But you will do everything on the highest level! Do not start manipulating the swoop. Prepare baby. Only what is unknown is scary. But if the karapuz see how you do the massage to his favorite toys, he will allow him to rub himself. Just pretend to squeeze a little ointment out of the tube and put it on the back of the teddy bear and the doll. Sentence that the toys became warm and cozy. And then ask the little one: "Do you want to try?" Most likely, he will not refuse! Wait until the crumb gets carried away by the game, watch his emotional state. Start the immediate procedure only when you are intuitively sure: now everything will pass without resistance from the child. By the way, reception "first, we make manipulations with toys, and then we involve the kid" works in relation to any medical procedures. The main thing is, do not demand from the baby obedience and fulfillment of your will. Resistance to the unpleasant - quite natural child behavior! So do not quarrel with a crumb when you can do without conflict.

Writing a potion

Fortunately, modern medicines for toddlers are produced mainly in the form of liquid medicine, which has a pleasant taste. Producers add fruit supplements and sugar to the preparation. So with a bitter pill, diluted in a spoon of compote, this has little in common. Although there are different situations. Sometimes you need to give a pill. And some children categorically refuse some of the medicines ... It is not an option to keep a baby with the whole family and forcefully give medicine. Try to do without extremist measures. Go for such a trick: when you are a little girl, drink a medicine, show how much you liked it. Do not worry, the child's dosage of any classical drug will not have an effect on your body (but just in case, check with the doctor). It is important to do this before the baby says his strong "no". Provoke him to imitate you. Another option is to give the baby a potion during the time you take it from a spoon with your favorite compote, juice or milk. It is imperceptible for a baby to replace one of the drink spoons with a measuring spoon with a medicine or a dissolved tablet. Naturally, the child will feel the substitution and immediately want to spit out the medicine. Say: "Now take a quick drink, now the compote will be again!"

It's important to do this all at once, so that the kid does not get stuck with bitter taste. You can also drink a potion with the medicine of the toy, placing emphasis on the order. Sentence: "Now give a spoon to the rabbit, then - the cat, now - Masha or Sergei ... Strictly for each other! What good kids, everyone knows their turn! "Since the year, kids have a need to" do like everyone else, "to feel their belonging to the group. Here and beat it!

To put an enema, a candle

With intestinal infection, constipation or acetonemic crisis can not do without a cleansing enema. The pediatrician will tell you how to prepare a saline solution or enema with a decoction of chamomile. Do not hesitate to ask the doctor in detail, clarify all the doubtful moments. The general rules are as follows: the temperature of the liquid in the enema should be equal to the body temperature (about 37 ° C), the solution should be injected slowly, and the enema tip should be lubricated with child or heated vegetable oil before use. Infants under 6 months of age need to enter 50-60 ml of liquid, crumb to 1.5 years - 70-100 ml, from 1.5 years - 180-200 ml. The solution is prepared this way: open a tablespoon of salt or soda in one liter of boiled water. And from this solution take the necessary amount. As for candles, read the instructions carefully before use. Bear in mind that suppositories can be divided depending on the dosage. Cut a piece of candle with a clean knife.

For a baby up to a year that does not yet perceive symbolic games, the main thing is to do everything as quickly as possible. Do not focus on the crumbs on negative feelings, let your actions be clear and consistent. It's better if someone from home helps you. After the procedure, it is imperative to calm the little fellow, press him to him, whisper in his ear: "It's all over now!" ... After a couple of years, give the baby a play with the enema, letting trickle of water from it. Do flowers grow in your house at home? Excellent! Let the crumb with the enema pour the plants. Interested? And now say: "Imagine that inside you, too, live small flowers that are very thirsty. And now we will give them a little moisture. " Motivate the baby! Still afraid and feels that there will be discomfort? In this case, distracting maneuvers are unlikely to work. But do not lie to a child, do not say: "It does not hurt, do not invent!" So you devalue his experience. Honestly explain what will have to be patient and will be unpleasant. But also add that the youngster is already big and will cope with everything. You will show the tactes to the child: "For me, your feelings are important, I understand them." This approach will not cause a carapace injury. Understand that any psychologically healthy baby will resist enema, get angry and cry. And if you forbid him emotions, he can decide that it is not safe to test them. But you're Mommy, you accept all the manifestations of a crumb! So do not demand obedience and patience from him. Can not get the baby carried away with the game? Do everything quickly and pity the child, sympathize with him.

Bury your nose

Did Crohn fall ill and have a cold? It is necessary to constantly moisten the nose with saline. It is important that the mucus does not turn into dried crusts, because it is in such an environment that microbes live well. Ordinary water for these purposes is not suitable. Only the saline solution is well absorbed and does not irritate the mucous membrane. Acquire the means of industrial production or prepare yourself: dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a glass of boiled warm water. Heat the liquid to 37 ° C. It is convenient to drip the nose from a syringe without a removable tip. It is enough to pour 1-2 ml of solution into each nostril. Bear in mind that sprays in the nose are not suitable for babies under two years of age. The introduction of fluid under pressure can provoke otitis media, inflammation of the ear. Better not take risks, but give preference to droplets. Show the little girl how to spoon a nest kittens and dogs (toy). Let the kid himself play with an interesting "device" for him. For example, he can drip a nozzle in the picture in a book and consider what magic is obtained on paper droplets. So he wanted to try himself! No? Suggest "drink" with a spout. Tell me what everyone can drink by mouth, but in order to get a liquid nose, you need special skills. Kroha wishes to prove his exclusivity! Another idea - during the game to drip on the fingers of the baby, on the palms, on the knees. It's fun! Then drip under your nose. And quickly make the necessary manipulation. It's okay if it gets a little wet. You'll dry it up in a flash. Agree, the nerves are the most precious!

Irrigate the throat

With tonsillitis or tonsillitis on the surface of the neck of crumbs, microbes are actively multiplying - the culprits of inflammation. And the doctor will prescribe irrigation with antiseptic solutions. By the way, the procedure is justified only with the bacterial nature of the disease. Usually it's just about the red throat - a regular satellite of any ARI. In this case, there is no need for special manipulations. The neck will come back to normal, hardly the organism of a crumb will cope with an ailment (more often in 7-10 days from the beginning of the disease). Naturally, let the baby first get acquainted with the medicinal packaging, even if under your supervision he explores an amazing "trick," he himself presses the piston several times. Do not forget that the unknown scares. Therefore, in awe of screaming to the child: "Do not touch, this medicine!", Take the drug from him, and then immediately insist on irrigation of the throat - it's wrong. So you only aggravate the anxiety of the baby. Play it! Imagine with the baby that in the tube with the drug - food for the butterfly, bee or ladybug. And go to "feed" imaginary insects. The baby will like to watch how the "pollen" is sprayed in the air. Think of the plot, as if the butterflies and bees were hiding somewhere, and your task with the carapace is to find them. Spend some time. And now it's time to find the latest butterfly! Where did she hide? Of course, the crumbs in the neck! He will not refuse to feed her! Bear in mind that throat irrigation is shown exclusively for children after two years. And this manipulation can not be carried out in any case when the baby is shouting loudly. So there is a risk of choking. For infants, it is safer to take medicines and tablets. Your karapuzu almost three, but you do not get to decide with him the issue of irrigation of the throat amicably? Better to give up the procedure and ask the pediatrician about a reasonable alternative to this type of treatment.

Clear nasal passages

So that the little one sleeps peacefully, while he has a runny nose, it is necessary that the spout be clean. Otherwise, mucus interferes with breathing, and the baby will often wake up. Sometimes doctors prescribe vasoconstrictors for these purposes. But to drip them, too, is necessary after complete hygiene of the nasal passages. For a baby, use an aspirator - a special rubber pear made according to the enema principle, but vice versa. Again, do everything as quickly as possible, and then - pity your sun. But a child after a year and a half is easy to teach yourself to cope with the hygiene of the nose. With the help of the game! Together with the baby puff, like hedgehogs, show each other how animals know how to snort well and "gurgle" with a spout. Arrange the competition! The one who is best, gets puffed, gets a prize: something tasty. So the kid will remember the movement necessary for the purification of the nose. And will understand what his mother wants from him when he says: "Smurk!". Or play in the airplane. Cut out about a dozen light paper squares. It is convenient to use for this rustling wrapping paper from sweets. Put all the squares in the palm of your hand. Now offer the child to blow out the so-called airplanes. Happened? Excellent! We complicate the task. Again, fold all the squares in the palm of your hand. Ask the crumb to get a full chest of air (and join the fun itself!), Close your mouth and blow your nose with airs on the airplanes. Here's the result! Come up with your games! And you will see: you and the baby will find a common language in almost any situation. Now we know what to do if a baby is sick with ARD.
