We treat children up to a year

You do not find a place, and the head goes around, because your baby is sick. Immediately a lot of questions arise: what medicine to give, so as not to harm the child, how to lower the temperature, how to properly inject the nozzle. But the main question for any mom - is everything right I do?

Treat a runny nose.
What should I do if my baby has a sop? To crumbs it was easier, before each feeding it is necessary to apply a small rubber pear. With it, you remove the mucus from the baby's spout. In order not to cause injury to the mucous membrane, it is necessary to remove the plastic tip. While you are cleaning one nostril, gently press the other with your index finger to the nasal septum. You can put the crumb on your tummy and wipe the mucus with a handkerchief - so you will get along without a pear.

- After the mucus is removed, use halazolin or another vasoconstrictor for toddlers. In case there were no drops for small children in the house, and there is no possibility to buy at the pharmacy, adult drops should be diluted in a ratio of 1: 3 with water. In one nostril drip no more than one drop not more often 3-4 times a day and not more than 3 days. Otherwise, drops contribute to nasal congestion due to increased mucosa. Important: it is not possible to treat a runny nose with drops on the basis of oil - there is a risk of developing pneumonia, and the rhinitis itself can not cure it.

- Bury by drop of protargol or collargolum in both nares every time after feeding the crumbs. These are drying and disinfecting solutions, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, after prescribing the prescription from the doctor.

- Breastmilk contains protective antibodies that heal from a cold. Bury the milk in each nostril of the baby 1 drop 3-4 times a day for the first 3 days.

We make an enema.
If the child suffers from constipation for more than two days, an enema may be needed. When there is no crumbs for 4 months, a small rubber pear with a volume of 50 ml is needed. If the baby is older, use a 100 ml enema. Do not use rough plastic tips!

- Fill the boiled rubber can with boiled water at room temperature. Warm water will not have the desired effect, becausequickly absorbed.

- The toddler is laid on his side, pressing his knees bent at the knees to his chest. It is advisable that someone help you to keep the crumb in this position.

- Wait for the first drop of enema to appear, first brushing its tip with vegetable oil and releasing it by pressing air.

- The tip is inserted 2-3 cm. Then smoothly press on the bottom, until there is water in the enema.

- The enema is removed without opening the can. To water flowed out, then you need to squeeze a child's buttocks for a couple of minutes.

We put the candle.
In the first years of life this is the most convenient way to introduce a medicine. The drug from the rectum is absorbed faster than from the stomach. And your baby will not have to swallow anything unpleasant and bitter.

- The candle is introduced with a rounded end. Then - moves slowly to the end.

- In order to avoid jumping out of the candle due to straining or crying, it is necessary to hold the crimson's buns closed for a while.

We give a tablet. Of course, for the smallest, there are syrups. But you need to remember that it contains sugar, and if the child is prone to allergic reactions, it can increase allergies. In addition, not all the necessary medicines can be purchased in the form of syrup. And if a child needs to take pills? What to do with them, when the baby can not swallow a piece of such a medicine?

- Stir the mashed between two teaspoons of the drug in a milk formula or breast milk. If the tablets can not be combined with milk - use chilled boiled water. The child should be given a medicine on the spoon. In order for Koch to open his mouth, do not pinch the spout. So he chokes. Try to distract the child with toys, and then, imperceptibly for him, squeeze the cheeks with your index and thumbs, and the baby will open his mouth.

- And what if the baby needs to take 1/10 of the tablet? How to separate it? To do this, you need to collect 10 ml of water in a syringe and, letting it out into a glass, mix the pre-pouched tablet there. Then just type 1 ml of the resulting mixture into the syringe. This will be the dose you need.

We prepare the compress.
Your baby coughs hard, and the doctor diagnosed - bronchitis? Infants because of the delicate skin are contra-indicated mustard plasters, which can be supplied to older children. Apply sour cream. To do this, put on the back of the crumbs linen napkin, soaked in a sour cream warmed in a water bath. In this case, the napkin should not fall into the heart area - grasp only the area of ​​the armpits. Put a paper on the napkin for the compress. On paper - cotton wool from cotton( cotton wool from synthetics do not use).Secure the pack with a sheet or towel."Sour cream treatment" lasts no more than 2 hours.

So there is no special wisdom in being a nurse mom for your baby.
