Causes of colds in test tube infants and related guidance

Test tube baby cold means that after the birth of test tube baby, because the immune system is not fully developed, the baby is more likely to be infected with cold virus. Cold virus is mainly transmitted through air droplets, and its cause is roughly the same as that of non test tube baby cold. The following four aspects will elaborate on the causes of IVF cold and related guidance.

1. Virus transmission route

IVF cold virus is mainly transmitted through air droplets and direct contact. The cold virus releases the source of infection into the air by coughing, sneezing and speaking. Other people will be infected with the cold if they inhale the air containing the virus. The virus can also be transmitted by contacting infected objects (such as towels, toys, etc.) and shaking hands. Test tube babies are more susceptible to infection because their immune system is not fully developed.

In order to prevent infection, it is necessary to avoid going to crowded public places as far as possible, pay attention to hand hygiene, often ventilate, and maintain indoor air circulation.

2. Cold symptoms in infants

The cold symptoms of IVF infants are similar to those of non IVF infants, including nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, low fever, etc. For IVF infants, cold symptoms may be more serious because their immune system is not fully developed.

During the cold period, the baby should maintain diet and rest, supplement enough water, and increase physical recovery. At the same time, avoid relatives contacting infants, especially cold virus carriers.

3. Hospital guidance:

3.1 Cleaning environment for infants: regularly clean and disinfect toys, bedding, feeding bottles and other articles used by infants.

3.2 Cleaning of infants' clothes: infants' clothes should be changed regularly to keep them clean and hygienic, so as to avoid the breeding of bacteria or viruses. Washing liquid or disinfectant should be used for thorough cleaning to prevent cross infection.

3.3 Regular physical examination: IVF babies need regular physical examination to ensure their health. In case of cold symptoms, seek medical advice as soon as possible.

4. Preventive measures

4.1 Vaccination of infants: timely vaccination of infants is an important measure to prevent colds. Vaccines can enhance the immunity of infants and reduce the risk of infection.

4.2 Indoor warmth preservation: IVF is more sensitive to cold, so it is necessary to keep warm indoors to avoid getting cold.

4.3 Regular ventilation: It is also very important to keep the indoor air circulation to prevent colds. You can open windows regularly for ventilation to increase air flow.

summary

The cause of IVF cold is mainly related to the transmission route of cold virus, including air droplets and direct contact. The symptoms of colds in IVF infants are similar to those in non IVF infants, but may be more serious. In terms of prevention, we can follow the guidance of the hospital, regularly clean the environment, clothing, indoor ventilation, regular physical examination, etc. At the same time, infant vaccination and indoor warmth are also important measures to prevent colds. Through the above preventive measures, the incidence of colds in IVF can be greatly reduced.
