Air conditioning can reduce the occurrence of many diseases including asthma, allergies, etc. High temperature and high humidity are two killers that threaten children's health. Children's bodies have poor adaptability to temperature, and high temperatures can easily cause heat stroke, dehydration and even sudden death. In addition to exacerbating the severity of heatstroke, high humidity can also irritate children's respiratory tracts and cause asthma. Of course, it also includes skin inflammations such as prickly heat and eczema that babies always get.
Notes on the use of air conditioners:
1. Clean the air conditioner filter once before starting to use it every summer. If it is a southern city that needs to use air conditioning for heating in winter, it should also be cleaned after summer. It needs to be cleaned once, of course, it is good to clean it once every 1-2 months during summer use;
2. In hot and hot weather, be sure to turn on the air conditioner! Reasonable use of air conditioning can avoid the rumored "air conditioning disease", but if you refuse air conditioning, you will actually expose your baby to various risks such as heat stroke, allergies, difficulty breathing, prickly heat, eczema, etc., which may even threaten life. The severity is not difficult to distinguish;
3. Most central air conditioners have ventilation systems, but split air conditioners do not. In addition, the space in the home is small, and leaving the air conditioner on all the time will cause problems such as lack of oxygen and reduced air quality. Therefore, do not turn on the air conditioner all day long. It is best to use it only from noon to afternoon when the temperature is high, and at night when you are sleeping. When it is cooler in the morning and evening, you must open the window for ventilation;
4. Pay attention to the direction of the wind from the air outlet to avoid blowing directly to people, especially babies. The crib should be placed away from the air conditioner in the room. , this can ensure that the temperature will not drop suddenly, but change slowly and gently;
5. The temperature adjustment should not be too low, but Chinese families basically pay attention to this, and the recommendations of old American pediatricians are generally It is 20-22 degrees, and domestic families are estimated to be 25-28 degrees;
6. If you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, pay attention to drinking more water and moisturizing your skin;
7. If the air conditioner cannot be used, for example, the elderly cannot catch cold, then the best alternative is an electric fan dehumidifier. The premise is that you can tolerate the noise of the dehumidifier.
8. Of course, it is not good to rely too much on air conditioning. Don't really try to create a "constant temperature" environment for your children. Air conditioning needs to be used rationally to allow the baby to gradually adapt to heat and cold, and to enhance immunity and body temperature regulation capabilities.
9. Another thing that needs to be explained is that the air conditioners currently used in homes do not change the air. There are only coolant and drainage pipes connecting the indoors and outdoors. Therefore, even in polluted weather such as haze, , and there is no need to worry about outdoor pollution and dare not turn on the air conditioner. If you clean the air conditioner filter regularly, the air conditioner will filter the air during the air circulation process, reducing pollutants in the air and purifying the air.
