Sign 6: Pale complexion A healthy baby is white, fat, and has a rosy complexion, which is very pleasing to the eye. If the baby\’s face is pale, it may be a sign of illness. For example, when a baby suffers from pneumonia, his face will be pale and accompanied by fever; the face of a baby with heart disease is usually white; if the baby is very weak and sweats a lot, his face will also be very poor. Lack of luster; babies with anemia or blood loss are often accompanied by pale lips and gums in addition to pale faces, which need to be paid attention to by parents.

Mothers must learn to distinguish and don’t worry too much. Sign 7: Poor breathing. Healthy babies usually breathe very evenly, rhythmically, and unhurriedly. The respiratory systems of infants and young children are still in the developmental stage, and respiratory abnormalities may easily occur when they are sick. If the baby\’s breathing becomes thicker, the frequency increases, or fast and slow, and the face becomes red, it may be fever; mouth breathing or frequent deep breathing movements are signs of a stuffy nose; shortness of breath, more than 50 times per minute, nostrils flaring, and around the lips Bruises, sunken intercostal muscles or suprasternal depression during breathing are likely to be caused by pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, congenital diaphragm hernia, etc. Parents should not take it lightly.

Normally, children have soft stools. If they suddenly have dry stools or loose stools, it may be a sign of disease. If the stool is extremely dry, difficult to pass, and has a strong odor, it means there is undigested food in the intestines, resulting in internal heat and food accumulation. If the internal heat lasts for too long, the child will easily catch a cold and have a fever. At this time, you can give your child more vegetable puree, or take fresh pear juice, white radish water, etc. to clear away heat and relieve constipation. Sign 9: Abnormal stool. The condition of your baby\’s stool is an important indicator of whether your baby is sick. Constipation and diarrhea are both signs that your baby is unwell. 95% of constipation is due to functional causes. This is not an abnormality of the body itself. This problem can usually be solved by giving the baby more vegetables or other high-fiber foods. The cause of pathological diarrhea can be analyzed from the nature of the stool. For example, if a baby passes bright red bloody stool, the bleeding location is mostly in the lower gastrointestinal tract. It may be caused by the stool being too dry and hard, resulting in constipation. It may also be caused by rectal polyps, which are one or several fleshy bumps growing in the intestines and causing the stool to rub out. If the surface is injured, a small amount or a large amount of blood will appear; if the baby consumes a lot of protein, the stool will be very smelly; when enteritis occurs, the stool will be watery or egg drop soup-like; viral enteritis The feces is mostly white rice soup-like or egg-yellow watery sample. Babies with diarrhea should control their food intake so that their intestines can rest properly. Breastfed children should eat less greasy food to avoid indigestion and aggravation of diarrhea. At the same time, wash the baby\’s buttocks with warm water after each defecation, dry it with a towel, and apply some talcum powder. Sign 11. Breath in the mouth Healthy children have fresh breath, pink and clear tongue, and thin white tongue coating. If a child has a sour smell in his breath, has white and thick tongue coating, red lips, excessive eye mucus, and is unwilling to eat, it usually means that there is undigested food in the body and internal heat has occurred, causing food accumulation. The cause of food accumulation is basically caused by eating too much at one time or during a certain period of time. If a child accumulates food for a long time, is unwilling to eat, and does not take in enough nutrients, it will lead to malnutrition and affect growth and development. Pediatric experts said that the child\’s diet should be controlled at this time, and the diet should be light and easy to digest, otherwise it will cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and aggravate indigestion.
