It is not enough for them to come up with such a foolproof prescription and the child will become the same again, as it was before the pain.
By the way, there is a great need to take care of children in all seasons, because the fluctuations of the weather affect the children very quickly. However, the winter season affects the health of children more than other seasons, this is because the immunity of children is a little lower. So cold, flu, cough, and fever soon attack them in winter. Diseases like nasal congestion, allergy, itching, and pneumonia get worse in winter. Excessive cold also increases the pain in the nose, ears, throat, legs, and ribs. Newborn babies cannot withstand the harshness of the weather, so parents should start including such things in the children's diet before the arrival of winter so that such diseases cannot become more severe. Such preventive measures should be taken, due to which prevention of these diseases can be possible. Because a cold can turn into pneumonia due to the severity of the fever, due to which children's ribs start moving and they have to have a little trouble breathing.

MASSAGE
Massage is very important for a baby from birth to three years of age. It helps in strengthening the baby's bones and also moisturizes the baby's skin.
