Many families don't turn off the air conditioner when it's hot in summer. That's the biggest reason why the baby has a cold in summer~
Air conditioner
Air conditioning is a good news for people in summer. No matter how hot you are, you can feel cool and comfortable as soon as you get into the air conditioning room. Children's temperature will drop when they fall asleep. If the air conditioning temperature is not appropriate, they are likely to catch cold due to cold. In addition, the air conditioning environment is often closed doors and windows, indoor air is not fresh, children are more prone to 'air conditioning disease'.
Sweat
In summer, it's very hot and the children are active. Sweating is inevitable. If the children don't wipe their sweat in time or change their sweaty clothes in time, they will easily catch cold due to cold sweat. Many children like to blow the air conditioner after sweating. When the body perspires, the sweat glands of the whole body are open. Once encountering the sharp cold air, the skin blood vessels will contract, the sweat glands will close, the visceral blood vessels will contract, and the gastrointestinal movement will weaken, resulting in abdominal pain, diarrhea, nasal congestion, sore throat and other symptoms.
Infant's self immunity is not perfect
The immunoglobulin IgA in the mother's body cannot enter the fetus through the placenta, so there is no IgA in the serum of the fetus and the newborn, which is only 13% of the adult's at the age of one year, and then gradually increases. Although immunoglobulin IgG and IgM can be transmitted from the placenta to the fetus, they are basically consumed in 5-6 months after the birth of the baby, and their ability to produce IgG and IgM is still low. Therefore, the level of IgG and IgM in the blood of the baby after 5-6 months is low. Secretory IgA, IgG and IgM can protect the respiratory mucosa from virus or bacterial infection. Due to the lack of these immunoglobulins in the respiratory mucosa of infants, pathogens are easy to reproduce in the respiratory mucosa, so there are more respiratory inflammation in infants and infants, and they are easy to catch cold.
