Rapidly changing weather during the day makes it difficult for children to regulate their body temperature.
Medianews.az reports that improper clothing selection can cause colds and other illnesses in a short time.
As children move, their body heats up, and when they stop, it cools down quickly. When clothing does not match these changes, first sweating occurs, then chilling, and eventually the disease process begins.
Doctors emphasize that simply dressing a child warmly is not enough. The main issue is to choose layered and comfortable clothing suitable for weather changes. The goal is to adapt to the rise and fall of body temperature.
According to specialists, one of the most important indicators is noticing sweating on time. Especially moisture in the neck area indicates that the child is overdressed.
Using the same clothes throughout the day without change also poses a risk. Clothing that is suitable in the morning may not be enough at noon and evening hours.
Doctors also state that temperature changes are more abrupt during the warm hours between 11:00 and 14:00, while morning and evening hours are considered more suitable.
According to specialists, the main cause of illnesses in children is not cold weather but rapid changes in temperature. Therefore, additional clothing and light layers are considered beneficial throughout the day.
