According to Yangtze River Daily reported on December 27, recently, a 12-year-old boy coughed and did not seek medical treatment for a week, and one of his lungs became "white lung". After learning about this situation, the child's mother regretted it and burst into tears.
CT pictures show that one side of the child's lungs turned white
The boy named Zhouzhou is only 12 years old. He started coughing and had a low fever a week ago. This phenomenon lasted for two or three days. Although I took medicine, the fever and cough still did not improve.
Parents of children did not realize that their children had been infected with new crown , and thought that their children just had a common cold and fever.
Neighbors saw that Zhouzhou had a fever and cough that had not gone away for two or three days, so they advised the child's parents to send the child to the hospital for a checkup. However, the child's parents said that the infection phenomenon in society was too serious, and they might get infected if they sent the child to the hospital, so they continued to take medicine at home for treatment.
After the fever subsided, Zhouzhou's cough symptoms did not improve, and he even began to vomit after coughing. As long as the child moves around, he will have chest tightness. The parents felt something was wrong at this time and rushed Zhouzhou to the pediatric hospital of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine).
After careful examination by the hospital, it was found that the lung tissue on one side of Zhouzhou turned white in large areas, which means that it was severe pneumonia . The
CT picture showed that the child had flaky soft tissue-like high-density shadows in the right lung, and flaky high-density shadows were also seen in the right lung field. The right costophrenic angle became shallow and blunt, and the diaphragm surface was blurred.
Parents of their children are filled with regret.
When parents saw a large area of the lung tissue on one side of their child turning white, they both blamed themselves and regretted it. Fortunately, Zhouzhou's current symptoms have improved significantly after treatment with integrated Chinese and Western medicine.
What happened to Zhouzhou tells us that parents must be highly vigilant if their children have a cold or fever in the near future. If the symptoms still do not improve after three days of medication, they should be sent to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. Don’t be careless. Once the virus infects the lung tissue, it will be too late to regret it!
Doctors said that for children, the course of new coronavirus is similar to pneumonia caused by other viruses. Common symptoms include prolonged coughing, shortness of breath, and blue complexion. Once the symptoms persist for three or four days and do not improve, you must be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.
Coincidentally, on December 17, a fourth-grade girl, Xu Zixuan, died after being infected with -positive in Hezhou, Guangxi.
What happened is this: According to the child's mother, Xu Zixuan asked for leave from the teacher on the 13th and said that she was not feeling well. After going to the hospital for testing, she was found to have a weak Yang. She started to have a fever of 39.5 degrees on the 14th. After taking antipyretics, her body returned to normal on the 15th. On the 16th, Xu Zixuan felt pain all over her body, and then took painkillers. On the morning of the 17th, she suddenly developed symptoms of rolling her eyes. She was sent to the hospital and passed away after resuscitation efforts failed.
Judging from the current situation, large areas of schools across the country have been infected by Omicron. Positive cases among students are very common. In many schools, only half of the children in each class are in class. Not only that, some teachers were also infected and became positive.
In view of this situation, experts remind parents that if their children have a cold or fever for a long time, which cannot be cured after taking medicine at home, and are often accompanied by chest tightness, breathlessness, blue complexion, etc., they must be sent to the hospital in time, otherwise the children's lives will be endangered.
Children are the future of our country, we must protect them. Now is the time for them to grow physically and intellectually, and it is not yet time for them to make sacrifices for the motherland. Their healthy growth is the greatest hope for the prosperity of our motherland.
