Can children use air conditioning when they have a cold?

It is best not to use air conditioning after a child has a cold. Children's physical constitution is relatively poor. After a cold, they should pay attention to keeping warm, rest, and keep the indoor air fresh. They should ventilate frequently. This will help the baby's cold gradually get better.

Of course, if the temperature is really high in the summer, you should be careful when turning on the air conditioner at this time, and the temperature should not be set too low.

Can children use air conditioning when they have a cold?

It is common for babies to catch colds in the summer. Normally, babies should not use air conditioning when they have a cold, especially when accompanied by a fever, as this will make them prone to bronchitis infection and aggravate the cold. But if the high temperature continues, the baby will not be able to bear it. The baby needs to stay in an environment with suitable temperature, otherwise it is easy to get heatstroke. So strictly speaking, if the baby has a cold in summer, he should not be directly exposed to the air conditioner, but he can stay in an air-conditioned environment with a temperature of about 28℃.

Precautions for babies using air conditioning

1. Ventilate in time. Ventilate every 6 to 8 hours when turning on the air conditioner. The longest time should not exceed 12 hours, and each time should last 20 to 30 minutes. Especially when the air conditioner is turned on in the evening until going to bed at night, the air should be changed once before going to bed. A small window can be opened in the air-conditioned room to facilitate air exchange. If you don’t want to turn off the air conditioner when ventilating, you can adjust the air conditioner cooling temperature to the highest. If your baby has allergies or respiratory problems, you can install an air purifier indoors to improve the air quality.
