Why do we need first aid?

Help the sick child can be sparing means and methods. The main thing is to do it in a timely manner! Why do we need first aid and how to organize it?

Angina

When the palatine tonsils can not cope with the attack of viruses and bacteria, the neck begins to ache in the crumbs. What to do? Rinse! Brew herbs with anti-inflammatory effect (sage, calendula), and every 30 minutes use them for their intended purpose. Is the crumb too small to rinse? Several times a day, spray the neck with a spray (for example, "Chlorophyllipt").

ARI

One of the main symptoms of this ailment is a runny nose. It is he who causes headaches, moods, refusals to eat (even if it's Mom's milk!). However, such a disaster can be helped! I'll have to look after the nose! After you create the help - you will dig in the brine saline solution ("Aqua-Maris", "Saline", saline solution), a special pear with a hard tip, remove mucus from the spout. Is the toddler old enough? Ask him to bleat, clutching one or the other nostril. Then drip vasoconstrictive ("Vibrocil") or therapeutic ("Kollargol") droplets. During the day, do not give the baby a handkerchief, but use disposable napkins.

Pneumonia

It is believed that the main method of helping and treating pneumonia is antibiotic therapy. This is indeed so. However, sometimes you can really do without taking strong means. An illness at an early stage can be cured by popular methods. Verified!

• Cottage cheese wraps give an excellent effect on pneumonia. Take 100 grams of homemade cottage cheese, lay it in gauze and put it for an hour under the press (to make the glass serum). Press the mass laid on a clean cloth and put it on the child's back. Secure it with a woolen shawl. This bandage should be worn until the curd mass dries.

• Black radish syrup is a good expectorant (today you can find it in the pharmacy!). After it is taken, sputum begins to separate better. How to cook a miracle drug? Just. Wash a small root. Cut out a small funnel and place a little flower honey in it. Then put the radish in a container in a dark place. After a day, give the baby a liquid from the groove for 1 tsp 2 times a day.

Heat

While sitting down to measure the temperature, make sure that his armpit is not wet, and keep the thermometer no more than 7 minutes. Indications above 38.5 C? Try to remove the heat with an enema with a cool water, vodno-vinegar wipes. And if these measures do not work, give me a medicine.

Conjunctivitis

Red, sore, sore eyes on a little one says that you need to act quickly, otherwise the ailment will spread to the other eye. This can happen in the event that during the procedures you forget about one of the rules of hygiene - for each eye, a separate bandage, sponge, cotton swab!

• Welding of black tea (necessarily warm!) Has an antiseptic effect. Moisten in it sponge, lightly squeeze and several times a day, wipe the child's eyes from the outer corners to the inner corners. This is advised to do with the broth of nettle (brew 1 tsp leaves in a glass of boiled water, strain several times). Alternate these funds.

• Depending on the pathogen (bacteria, viruses) with conjunctivitis, the doctor will prescribe a special drops to the baby ("Sofradex", "Vizin"). Be sure to bury them in the system prescribed by the doctor, because everything depends on the age of the patient, and the stage of the ailment. You will do everything right - and eyes again will be healthy!

Bronchitis

To get rid of the child from cough will help therapeutic gymnastics. And steam inhalations, a special drink. Apply all these measures in a complex - and a good result is guaranteed!

• Steam inhalations bring relief with a strong cough. Therefore, they need to be done, even if you do not have a special device - an inhaler. Together with a crumb cover with a coverlet and get a couple of boiled potatoes or infusion of pine buds (1 tablespoon of raw brew in a glass of boiling water). Is the child too young for this procedure? When he falls asleep, place a basin with a hot liquid next to the bed. From it will be good!

• Decoction of figs (1 tablespoon of finely chopped fruit, fill with 300 ml of milk), milk with Borjomi and honey (in 1/2 cup of warm milk, add 1 tablespoon of Borjomi and a little honey), work flawlessly: lubricate the neck and soften the cough.
