Academician Zhong Nanshan mentioned that his granddaughter recovered after being infected with the new coronavirus in three days. Academician Zhong Nanshan mentioned that The younger the child, the faster he will recover after being infected with the new coronavirus !
For parents, every time their children get sick, they are frightened and wish they could bear it on their behalf!
However, no matter how nervous parents are, they should pay attention to their sense of proportion. Don't get confused, panic, or do something haphazardly, which may injure the child.
Parents must keep in mind the "Ten Don'ts" principle if their child is positive, otherwise it will be a big mistake.
First: Do not take medicine if you have no symptoms.
Some children who are positive may only have a fever for one day and have no other symptoms. At this time, parents must not give their children medicine indiscriminately, because there is no specific medicine for the new coronavirus, and some are only symptomatic medicines.
For example, when a child has a fever, give the child antipyretics, when the child has a runny nose, give the child some medicine to relieve the nose, and when the child coughs, give the child some antitussive medicine.
The child who is positive has no symptoms. In fact, the body is recovering and there is no need to take medicine, because there is no specific medicine for the new coronavirus.
Second: Don’t take antipyretics randomly if the fever is not high
Under normal circumstances, we only recommend giving antipyretics to children when their fever reaches 38 degrees.
Of course, if the child has a history of febrile convulsions, you can consider giving antipyretics to the child when the temperature is 38 degrees Celsius, or if the child only has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius, but often complains of headaches and discomfort, you can also give the child antipyretics, because antipyretics have analgesic ingredients.
But if the child can eat, drink, sleep and play, and the fever only reaches 38 degrees, there is no need to give the child antipyretics, just give the child plenty of water.
When a child has a fever, do not give priority to antipyretics. Instead, give the child physical cooling . If it can be brought down, there is no need to take medicine.
Third: When children take antipyretics, do not take compound cold medicines at the same time.
There are two types of antipyretics for children, one is acetaminophen and the other is ibuprofen , and acetaminophen is also widely used in compound cold medicines.
For example, our common pediatric acetaminophen contains acetaminophen. If the child has a fever and takes antipyretics, and then you feel that the child has a runny nose and cough, and you give the child pediatric acetaminophen, then there will be an overdose of acetaminophen, which can easily damage the child's liver.
Some time ago, an 8-month-old child in Henan Province was given cold medicine for a few days by his parents because of a cold. As a result, when he went to the hospital for examination, he was found to have liver damage . Therefore, the child's repeated consumption of acetaminophen can easily damage the liver.
Fourth: Do not give medicine to your child on an empty stomach.
For example, ibuprofen will cause some damage to the child's gastrointestinal tract. If the child is fasting, do not give the child medicine . Instead, it is recommended to give the child a few bites of food before taking medicine, so that it is not easy to damage the child's gastrointestinal tract.
Fifth: Do not wake the child up when he is asleep and take antipyretics.
If the child feels very hot when touched while he is asleep, some parents will shake the child up to take antipyretics. This is not recommended.
Because if the child can fall asleep, it means that the temperature of the fever will not have much impact on him. The child's sleep is the best way to restore the body. If you wake the child up, it will affect the child's sleep.
Sixth: Do not give children a variety of traditional Chinese medicines
Our common Chinese patent medicines Isatis root , Xia Sangju , Lianhua Qingwen , and Lanqin Oral Liquid , etc., these are all traditional Chinese medicines.
Children can only take one kind of medicine if they want to eat it. If children are given multiple Chinese patent medicines at the same time, it will harm the child's spleen and stomach, and even harm the child's liver function.
Seventh: Don’t feed your child too greasy food
Although the new coronavirus only invades the child’s respiratory tract, it will actually have an impact on the child’s gastrointestinal tract. The child’s gastrointestinal motility will slow down and the child’s appetite will not be good, so do not feed your child too greasy food at this time.
For example, cream cakes or various fried foods, these foods are a pressure and a burden on the child's gastrointestinal tract, so the food should be slightly lighter during the period when the child is positive.
Eighth: Don’t catch a cold
My best friend Xianxian recovered from a fever for three days, so she started to go out to play lively. She played in the park for a long time, and then slept for another day after returning home. Because she caught a cold when was blown by the wind while playing in the park, her condition recurred again.
Children should pay more attention to keeping warm after becoming yang, because the body that has been invaded by virus will be relatively weak. At this time, children should pay attention to keeping warm to prevent dampness and cold from entering the body, so that they can recover better.
Ninth: Do not give children antibacterial drugs
The new coronavirus is a virus. It is useless to give children antibiotics . On the contrary, it will destroy the child's immunity , and cause the child's recovery period to be lengthened, so do not give your child antibiotics.
Tenth: Don’t let your children stay up late
Get more rest when you are sick, so after your child is exposed to Yang, you should put your child to bed early in the evening, which is conducive to the child’s physical recovery. Never let your child stay up until 11 o’clock or even 12 o’clock, which is not conducive to the body’s recovery.
After the child is positive, rest well and avoid overdose. There is a high probability that the child will recover in about three days.
