Some time ago, a boy about 15 years old in Guangdong, China, was kissed by his uncle a few times while attending a family gathering. Not long after, many small red bumps began to appear on the child's face, and small red spots were found in many on 's body.
The parents thought it was dermatitis , so they applied anti-inflammatory ointment to the child, but after a few days, the child did not improve, and convulsions, unclear mind, and stiff limbs . The mother was worried and rushed to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed the child with herpes simplex virus 1. Unfortunately, the condition had worsened. In less than 5 days, the child continued to have fever and eventually died of brain.
The same tragedy happened in an ordinary family in the United States. The baby girl who was born in was taken to their wedding by her parents. As a result, she had many relatives and friends on the day of the wedding, she hugged and kissed the baby girl. As a result, the baby girl was sent to the hospital for shortness of breath. After the doctor diagnosed that the child was infected with the herpes virus . She was still not rescued in in the intensive care unit. The baby girl who was only 18 days old passed away.
In fact, in recent years, it has been common to have news that is infected with the virus by kissing a child, but there are still many families who have not taken it seriously. Is it that serious to kiss a child? Today we will take a look at why a simple "kiss" can cause such great consequences?
What is the relationship between herpes simplex virus and kissing?
Herpes simplex virus is divided into type I and type II . Type I infection is common and is an infectious skin disease and one of the most common skin diseases in clinical practice.
The incidence of herpes virus is related to many reasons. is that there is a virus lurking in the body. When the autoimmune state is poor, it is prone to disease; is that if it occurs or does not occur, it is prone to infection to children with low immunity .
In fact, for adults, many people have this experience. After the immunity declines due to fatigue, staying up late, etc., there will be a burning or stinging sensation around the lips of . Sometimes clustered crystal clear small bubbles of are not large, and they are likely to appear at the junction of the skin and mucous membranes. The blisters are thin, and they will become scabbed after rupture, and temporary pigmentation will occur. The above phenomena occur in
. In most cases, they are related to herpes virus. Infection with herpes virus is not very serious for adults. In addition to being prone to recurrence, there will be no fatal danger in most cases.
But for children, after this disease occurs, will not heal itself, which will be very harmful to the physical and mental health of the child. If it is a neonatal infection, in severe , visceral and central nervous system infection may occur, and even systemic disseminated herpes infection. The mortality rate of is as high as more than 60% , and it is easy to leave sequelae to varying degrees.
It can be seen from this that herpes simplex virus is a relatively dangerous infectious disease for children.
But why is it easy for the child to suffer from such diseases after kissing him?
This is because there are more than 700 microorganisms in the human oral cavity of , not only foreign bacteria and viruses, but also a large number of endogenous microbial flora parasitizes in the oral cavity.
For children, immunity is not mature and has no ability to resist these microorganisms, bacteria and viruses. If you have herpes or have a latent herpes virus, it is easy to pass the virus to the child through saliva after kissing her child mouth-to-mouth .
In addition to causing herpes simplex virus infection, kissing a child may also cause human herpes virus infection , which is manifested as the child's high fever does not subside and has symptoms such as rashes, and is also prone to infection with other bacterial and fungal viruses.
So when playing with your child, should not kiss the child mouth to mouth, and it is best not to kiss the child with small hands. If the child likes to eat his hands, it is easy to eat the pathogen remaining on the hands. If family and friends are kissing their children, you can be gentle reminders.
Children have low resistance. In addition to being easily infected with herpes virus by adults, the following diseases are also very easily transmitted by adults. Parents need to pay special attention when raising their children.
What diseases are children prone to being infected by adults?
Many diseases are transmitted through air infection and droplet transmission of . Especially for children with low resistance, their ability to resist diseases is still very weak, so parents must pay attention to avoid contact with their children when suffering from the following diseases.
If adults have a cold , it is easy to infect children. Because nasopharyngeal parts are parasitic in nasopharyngeal , which are transmitted through the air when kissing and talking to children. Because children have weak resistance and immunity, they are not easy to recover after being infected, and even may cause bronchitis, pneumonia, otitis media and myocarditis .
Therefore, even if adults experience mild cold symptoms, such as headaches, sore throats, etc., they should pay attention to keeping a distance from their children and avoid intimate actions. It is best to wear a mask on when contacting to avoid droplet transmission.
If the mother who is has a cold during lactation, try not to breastfeed during this period, as bacteria are easily transmitted to the baby through breast milk.
Some elderly people will chew the food and feed it to their children when feeding them. This situation can easily transmit Helicobacter pylori to the child.
Helicobacter pylori is a parasitic bacteria in the stomach. It can transmit through feces or oral cavity, and is highly contagious. If you have Helicobacter pylori positive members at home, it is best to isolate them from other members and use medication to avoid contagion.
And chewing food and feeding it to the child is very unhygienic and can easily spread oral diseases to the child. Therefore, if the elderly at home have this habit, they need help correct it.
varicella is a relatively common and highly contagious rash disease. If adults develop chickenpox, they are prone to spread through the respiratory tract, such as coughing or sneezing;
If the blister liquid breaks or infects other people's skin and mucous membranes, it will also spread through the skin. Since chickenpox is highly contagious, it is necessary to avoid close contact with children and take oral antihistamines and apply calamine lotion for treatment.
Children can be vaccinated with chickenpox vaccination at the appropriate age. After vaccination, the child will have lifelong immune infection, and the probability of getting chickenpox will be significantly reduced.
Children have low resistance and are easily infected by viruses. Parents are very worried about this. However, so far, there are no special drugs to prevent virus infection. Therefore, it is recommended that parents and friends pay attention to strengthening prevention in their daily lives.
How to prevent viral infection in children?
First of all, virus mainly relies on droplets and respiratory infection . When children go to crowded occasions, parents must choose surgical masks for children to wear , which can help children resist the virus to a large extent.
When children eat normally, should not eat half-baked food .
Raw pork contains Pig Taenworm, Bovine Taenworm , and Escherichia coli and other bacteria; Perhapsodysia Vibrio, Salmonella and other bacteria in raw fish and raw steak. Infection with these bacteria will lead to severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other phenomena. Children have poor resistance and are more likely to be infected. Food treated after high temperature can kill viruses, so the food given to children needs to be cooked before eating.
In addition to paying attention to preventing children's viral infection, increases children's resistance and also helps improve children's ability to resist viruses.
First of all, the most important thing is to do a good job in the diet of children , to achieve balanced nutrition and comprehensive matching, and eat more high-protein and easy-to-digest foods, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, beans, etc. protein is an essential substance for the human body to make antibodies, so eating high-protein can help improve resistance.
Secondly, every time a child gets sick, especially if he suffers from infectious disease , such as respiratory bacteria and viral infections, must be completely cured to avoid leaving behind chronic lesions and causing repeated infections, which will lead to a decrease in the child's resistance.

3, you can properly supplement probiotic for children to regulate gastrointestinal function.
Especially for children before the age of 2, because the intestinal microecosystem of children at this stage is not established properly, the effect of supplementing probiotics is the best. The perfect gastrointestinal function can not only protect the intestinal mucosal barrier, but also help improve the gastrointestinal resistance.
Finally, should strengthen the child's physical exercise . Exercise can increase the body temperature, which is conducive to improving the phagocytosis effect of cells on bacteria, and can also help the body to prevent the invasion of protomic organisms and inhibit their reproduction and spread in the body, thereby enhancing the child's physical fitness and improving the child's immunity and resistance.
Breathe more fresh air and bask in the sun. The ultraviolet rays in the sun have a good bactericidal effect, which can improve skin resistance, promote blood circulation in the human body, regulate the system in the body, and thus enhance children's antiviral ability.
Finally
The child's body has not been developed. Many situations that are considered "small things" by adults. Putting it on the child may cause fatal damage. Parents need to pay attention to such issues, and when they find that relatives and friends are too intimate with their children, they need to be stopped. There are many ways to love children, and playing with toys and telling stories together is also a good choice.
