Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
The key to preventing tracheitis in children lies in improving their overall health and reducing the risk of infection. The following are specific preventive measures:
1. Strengthen physical health: Encourage children to participate in outdoor activities and regular physical exercise to enhance their physical fitness and improve resistance to disease.
2. Breastfeeding: Promote breastfeeding, as the immune-active cells in breast milk help strengthen a child's immunity and reduce the likelihood of respiratory infections.
3. Maintain environmental hygiene: Keep living areas well-ventilated, regulate indoor temperature and humidity appropriately, and reduce concentrations of harmful indoor gases.
4. Avoid passive smoking: Minimize children's exposure to secondhand smoke to lower the risk of respiratory infections.
5. Practice good personal hygiene: Teach children proper hygiene habits, such as frequent handwashing and not spitting in public, to reduce the spread of pathogens.
If symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is recommended for timely treatment.
