This winter is long and difficult for many families.
The epidemic infection progress bar in various places is slowly filling up, herd immunity has become the general trend. Although we pray for the sunset every day and long for ourselves to be the unique lucky one, we still cannot avoid what is coming.
This has worried many families with babies. How to prevent children, what are the symptoms of an impotence, and what to pay attention to after having an impotence. Parents worry about these issues every day.
Today, our team has compiled the most frequently asked questions by fans and will explain them to you.
The pictures in this article are all from the Internet, and the pictures and texts are irrelevant.
During the epidemic, are children more susceptible to infection?
Many parents are worried that their children's resistance is limited. If they are unfortunately infected, will their weaker bodies be able to resist the invasion of virus ?
In fact, according to big data, children may be much more "solid" than adults.
Judging from the data from overseas and Hong Kong, children and adolescents have always been "low-risk groups". Most of them are asymptomatic and have mild symptoms, with a case fatality rate of less than one in 100,000.
And they may recover faster than adults.
As far as the families I know around me are concerned, there are several families where the whole family has fallen ill, leaving behind a child who is active and active every day, has a good appetite and mental state, and is in such good physical condition that even his parents would envy him.
As for the reason, we have not been able to find the exact answer yet.
Some experts speculate that this may be because children's cardiovascular health is relatively healthy, their work and diet are relatively regular, and their immune response to viruses is not as strong as that of adults. Therefore, relatively speaking, this will also make cytokine release syndrome less likely to occur.
However, it should be noted that this does not mean that parents can take it lightly. After all, the current overall situation is not good enough. It is still necessary to learn the corresponding knowledge in advance so that the baby can be yang without yang, and can be yang at night, so that the child's body will suffer less and parents can feel more at ease.
What are the symptoms of a positive child?
(picture from the Internet)
From the above picture, you can roughly see the various reactions that will occur in the body of children after they become infected -
. Like adults, after a child is infected, the most urgent problem that needs to be dealt with is fever. About the first three days, it is a relatively dangerous time period.
However, judging from big data, children will basically maintain a moderate fever between 38.5 and 39.5 degrees, and some children may develop high fever.
. The airway of young children is short. After being infected, upper respiratory tract infection can easily invade the lower respiratory tract, so shortness of breath may occur. This is something that parents need to pay attention to.
As for the "throat swallowing razor blade" that adults suffer most from, such as sore throat, cough, etc., the chance of it occurring in children is relatively small.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the recovery period for infants and children over 3 years old is usually 3 to 5 days, while for adults, 7 to 10 days may be more common.
What should parents pay attention to after their child becomes positive?
Generally speaking, there is generally no incubation period for children to be infected, and they develop relatively quickly, but they also recover quickly, unlike the flu, which lingers repeatedly.
Parents can focus on how to reduce fever, especially for young babies.
Although theoretically, children mostly have low and moderate fevers, but young babies may induce febrile convulsions during the fever process.
This phenomenon may appear during the rising, peak, and defervescent periods of a child's body temperature. It is common in babies in the age group of 6 months to 3 years old, and may last within ten minutes. Once
occurs, it is recommended that parents put their children on the bed, keep them in a supine position, and pay attention to ventilation indoors. Then loosen the child's collar slightly so that he or she can breathe easily.
If you find that your child is showing signs of vomiting, turn their head to one side to prevent the secretions from choking the trachea. If conditions permit, after simple treatment at home, it can be sent to the hospital for further examination.
Secondly, when giving your child medicine to reduce fever, you should pay attention to the following principles -
1. If it is a low fever, below 38.5 degrees, and the child is in good mental state, you do not need to take medicine and just drink more water.
2. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees and the child's mental state is not good, you can start taking antipyretics.
Currently there are two internationally recognized children can use: acetaminophen and ibuprofen .
It is recommended that children over 2 months old and under 6 months old should choose acetaminophen; children over 6 months old should choose one of the two.
In addition, it is not recommended to use two antipyretics interchangeably. The dosage must be strictly in accordance with the instructions. The time between two doses should not be less than 4 hours, and the number of times of use should not exceed 4 times in every 24 hours.
If the fever does not go down for more than 3 days, or if the child develops drowsiness, decreased urine output, difficulty breathing and other abnormalities, please send him to the hospital in time.
In addition, if a child develops a cough after the fever subsides, it is not recommended that parents give their children cough medicine.
You can try to give your child pear soup first. If there is nasal congestion, you can also use saline to clean the nose and increase the indoor air humidity. If your cough affects your daily life, it is recommended to take cough medicine under the guidance of a doctor.
How to prevent children with no Yang?
The most effective way: improve childrenimmunity.
. Take your children to get vaccinated in a timely manner
This is the most direct and powerful method. Generally, children over 3 years old can be vaccinated with the new crown vaccine in a timely manner accompanied by their guardians to reduce the risk of infection.
. Maintain a balanced diet + moderate exercise
Ensure the supply of meat, eggs, milk and fresh vegetables and fruits every day, and supplement the child's body with high-quality protein and vitamins , which can enhance immunity.
In addition, you can accompany your children to play some simple parent-child interactive games at home to increase their daily exercise volume, which can also play a role in physical exercise.
. Pay attention to daily protection
Wear a mask when going out, stay one meter away from outsiders, maintain social distance, clean your hands in time, do a good job of home disinfection, etc. Everyone must be aware of these basic protection tasks, so I won’t go into details.
Finally, I wish everyone good health and get through the difficulties smoothly.
