Experts from Ningbo Hospital who attended the meeting
1. Several situations in which you must be sent to the hospital after being infected with the new coronavirus
In order to emphasize the importance and eye-catching effect, for children who are infected with the new coronavirus, it is best to First, focus on several situations that must be taken to the hospital without discussion: (Source: Ningbo Press Conference Medical Expert Suggestions)
1. Sustained high fever or repeated fever for more than 3 days
This does not require any explanation. Parents all understand that if a persistent high fever is not refunded, adults who do not know to send to the hospital either have a big heart or have a brain problem.
2. Poor mental status or irritability, or even drowsiness, convulsions, consciousness disorder
Many people have seen short videos on a certain platform about children with high fever and convulsions. Yes, such serious situations must be sent to the hospital. Even if it is not to such a severe degree, but the mental state is not good, such as irritability and drowsiness, you should be sent to the hospital for care.
3. If the respiratory rate is accelerated and the breathing is obviously difficult, you need to seek emergency medical help.
Difficulty breathing usually indicates a problem with the lungs. According to experts, at this time, the child's face will turn gray and the lips will be cyanotic. This is a very urgent situation. If you can't wait for 120, you must drive or take a taxi to the hospital. If you are late, it will be too late!
4. Older children report chest tightness or palpitation
Doesn’t this need to be explained? Children take the initiative to tell you that they are not feeling well, with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations. Adults must pay attention to this and send them to the hospital for examination.
5. Unexplained paroxysmal crying in newborn infants
It must be explained in advance that "paroxysmal crying" here refers to infants and young children infected with the new coronavirus. If the crying continues at this time, it means there is a problem and should be sent to the hospital for further care and examination. If the child is crying without being infected with the new coronavirus, it means that he is hungry or has poop, and parents should not be too nervous.
6. If a child has a poor appetite, or has frequent vomiting and is unable to eat, or has abdominal pain or diarrhea, he or she should be sent to a doctor immediately.
First of all, if a child has a poor appetite, especially a newborn infant, he or she should be sent to a doctor regardless of whether there is vomiting or other symptoms. The children can’t eat anymore. Do you think there is a problem?
Content introduced by medical experts at the Ningbo press conference
In addition, such children are prone to severe disease after being infected with the new crown: children with other basic disease problems, whether it is mental, obesity, diabetes, or heart disease or lung development problems, or newborns, babies under 3 months old and premature babies under 1 year old.
What should we do if such a child is infected? I personally think that the family should pay close attention to it, and if there is any sign of trouble, they should be sent to the hospital for care, or if such a child is infected, they should simply be sent to the hospital and hospitalized. Anyway, it only lasts a few days. After all, the child's life comes first.
2. Countermeasures against febrile convulsions caused by COVID-19 infection
Parents and friends must be more vigilant : Febrile convulsions mostly occur in children under 6 years old, and the younger the age, the more seizures, the more severe the symptoms, and the greater the possibility of serious sequelae!
So what should we do for children who have febrile seizures at home?
First, the first priority is to keep the child's respiratory tract open;
Second, do not shake the child, do not press the philtrum, and do not put anything into the mouth;
Third, if the convulsions are severe, do not forcefully press or pull the body;
Fourth, if the convulsions exceed 30 minutes or occur frequently, dial 120 for help.
