If parents do not pay attention when using air conditioning, children will be very susceptible to catching cold, pneumonia or dry skin. Please refer to a few safety principles when turning on the appropriate air conditioning mode will help young children have a good night's sleep as well as protect their health.
Maintain temperatures from 26 - 28 degrees C
The room temperature for young children should be maintained at 26 - 28 degrees C. Parents should use a room thermometer to accurately check the temperature at the child's location.
At the same time, before taking the child out of the room, open the door a few minutes in advance so that the child can adapt to changes in temperature, avoiding heat shock that affects the child's health.
Avoid direct wind direction
The respiratory tract of young children is still weak, so if cold wind blows directly into the body, face or chest, it will make children prone to cough and bronchitis.
When turning on the air conditioner, parents need to pay attention to placing the fan blade mode upwards or using a windshield to spread the cold evenly throughout the room. The location of the child's bed should also be away from the direct wind blowing from the air conditioner to ensure the child's body temperature is always stable.
Control humidity and keep the room ventilated
Constantly turning on the air conditioner will dry out the air, easily affecting nasal and skin problems of young children. Parents should place a basin of water or use a humidifier in the room, and at the same time add physiological saline to clean the child's respiratory tract.
Every early morning, you should spend time opening windows to help circulate air, avoid accumulating bacteria and mold that are harmful to your baby's health.
Clean the device and keep the body warm
Air conditioners that are not cleaned for a long time will spread dirt. Therefore, parents should clean the air conditioner periodically, such as washing the filter membrane once every 1-2 weeks. In addition, children should wear cotton clothes that absorb sweat, wear thin blankets to the waist and wear socks when staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time.
Regularly check your back sweat to adjust the air conditioner temperature in time, avoiding children from catching cold back into their lungs.
