In the summer, the National Hospital of Pediatrics often receives children with complications of middle ear infection, meningitis, which is the primary cause . sore throat.

Children with sore throats with fever, parents 'careful' to find ways to avoid the sun, avoid the wind, do not bathe children, the risk of infection increases. In hot weather, the body is not clean and is an ideal condition for bacteria to grow.

Cold summer bathing is not really a healthy option. Going home from the hot sun, the sensation of being in a sweltering, sweltering state and rushing cold water on him would cause the blood vessels to collect, and the high temperature should be discharged to the 'gathering'. Immediately entering the body can lead to a fever. Therefore, children need to be in a sheltered bath, absolutely not use cold water for children.

Do not leave the temperature too low

Statistics of child disease patterns across the country indicate that infection is at the forefront.In particular, respiratory tract inflammation accounts for the largest proportion and the 'leading' cause of respiratory infection is caused by the virus (influenza virus, Adeno virus .).

Currently, there is no cure for viral respiratory disease, so it is important to fully vaccinate (influenza A vaccine) and isolate patients when many children are found sick in a population. residential or within a class, a school.

Typically, summer outdoor temperatures are 35-36 ^degrees Celsius, even if the temperature is even higher. If the temperature of the air conditioner is too low, it will directly affect the body temperature regulator. From the environment 21-22 C in the hot sun, blood vessels immediately expand, the heart must work harder to regulate blood.

Uncoordinated blood will lead to anemia, most commonly anemia in the brain, heart, causing shock and falls. Particularly for babies, a lot of heat is needed to warm the body. In summer or winter, the ideal temperature in the infant room is still 27-30 ^o C. The temperature in the room is lower than the permissible margin, leading to the phenomenon of edema.

In fact, just below the infant's skin surface, there exists a type of fatty acid that needs a temperature of 27 ^° C or more to dissolve, and at low temperatures it cools and causes edema. Therefore, children will not metabolize, can lead to death. When sleeping, young or pedaling, the house has young children, the optimal room temperature is 27 ^o C, helps children avoid sore throat, colds, fever, long-term effects on the bronchi, lungs later.
