Academician Zhong Nanshan mentioned: The younger the child, the milder the symptoms of positive , but it usually takes a few days.
The more common symptoms after a child is positive include fever, throat discomfort, headache, , and possibly upper respiratory tract and digestive tract symptoms such as diarrhea, nasal congestion, runny nose, etc.!
In addition to giving the child symptomatic treatment with medication, we must also pay attention to the child's daily diet. Only when the child's daily diet is taken care of can the child absorb nutrients better, ensure the body's immunity to fight against the virus , and the body can recover faster.
And now it is also found that some positive tests last for a long time, and some positive tests are quickly followed by a second positive test. These all depend on the child's immunity. If the child's diet has laid a good foundation, the natural immunity will be strong.
Keep in mind the diet of a child who is positive: two principles: eat more of the three and don't eat the five.
Two principles: give the child something light and easy to digest, and do not take medicine on an empty stomach
① Give the child light and easy-to-digest food
After the child is positive, he may have throat discomfort and gastrointestinal discomfort. At this time, the child should eat some easy-to-digest food.
For example, noodles , or meat porridge , or giving soft rice to children. These foods will put less pressure on digestion and children can absorb them more easily.
② Do not take medicine on an empty stomach
If a child has a fever, he may take ibuprofen , and he may also take other Lianhua Qingwen and the like. These drugs will have a certain stimulating effect on the child's gastrointestinal tract.
Therefore, children should eat something before taking medicine. Do not give medicine to children without eating as soon as they get up. This can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort in children and even damage their spleen and stomach.
Eat more: drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and supplement more high-quality protein
(1) Children will drink more water
After the child is positive, he will have a fever, which will consume the body's water. If the child needs to take antipyretics to reduce the fever, he will also sweat a lot, which will lead to the loss of body water, so should drink at least two liters of water every day.
You can give your child some boiled water, or you can give your child some oral rehydration salts . These will help prevent the child from losing water and prevent him from becoming dehydrated.
ㅡ Give your children more fresh vegetables and fruits
Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C can strengthen immunity, and fresh vegetables and fruits are also rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can help protein , fat, and carbohydrates digest .
(iii) Supplement your children with more high-quality protein
Without protein, there is no life!
Children's immunity is strong if they have enough protein, so they should drink milk, eat eggs, and eat various meats, such as beef, chicken, pork, fish, etc.!
Children over one year old should drink 400 ml of milk every day.
In addition to knowing what to eat, you also need to know what not to eat. After raising a child, you should keep in mind the following five: Don’t eat
★ Don’t eat fried and greasy food.
After a child becomes positive, his digestive system will also be affected, and his digestion ability will be relatively weak. Therefore, do not feed your child fried foods or greasy soups at this time.
A large amount of fat entering the child's digestive system will increase the burden of the child's digestion, and may easily cause diarrhea in the child.
★ Don’t eat raw or cold food
After a child becomes yang, his digestive ability will be relatively weak. At this time, giving the child raw or cold food may cause diarrhea, especially some meat foods.
For example, raw fish, or medium-rare steak, these must not be given to children!
★Don’t eat hard food
If your child is positive, your throat may feel uncomfortable, and your whole body may not have enough strength. Your child’s ability to chew and swallow will be affected.
Excessive hard food will cause the child to be unable to chew well and swallow it directly, which will increase the burden on the child's gastrointestinal tract and will affect the child's digestion and absorption of nutrients.
★Don’t eat spicy food
Spicy food will irritate the child’s throat and cause throat discomfort. When the child is positive, the throat is already uncomfortable, and eating spicy food will make the child uncomfortable and aggravate the symptoms!
★Don’t eat too sweet food
When a child is positive, he or she may have phlegm in the throat or runny nose, and sweet food will also increase the viscosity of the child’s phlegm, which is not conducive to the child’s recovery.
The above dietary points should not only be paid attention to when the child is positive, but also for a period of time after the child becomes positive, so as to minimize the possibility that the child will become positive again after becoming positive.
