Adjustment
The major adjustment for acute nasal catarrh is M.C.P. and K.P.
Conditions of this kind are sometimes aggravated by the care which the child receives at the hands of a careless mother. She may keep the child too warm or not warm enough. Often a child is dressed so warmly that the least exertion will cause profuse perspiration. Then the child “takes cold” because of the inability of Innate Intelligence to bring about an intellectual adaptation in so short a time. An infant may be and should be kept very warm, but as the child grows older he should be allowed sufficient freedom, especially in the summer time, to permit of exercise and yet not become too warm.
The hygienic measures to be used are attention to the sleeping rooms, which should be properly ventilated, always having plenty of air at night, and the house temperature during the day. This should be from 65°F to 68°F.
