Children are the hope of the family, and lively and active children are loved by people. However, young children are also at the most likely time to get sick or injured in their lives. How to take good care of their children is very knowledgeable. Avoiding children getting sick and preventing them from getting hurt is a shortcut to keeping children healthy.
There are some diseases that are common in childhood. These common diseases usually have some signs before and after the onset, and children will also have some special symptoms before the onset. If parents pay attention to the observation, there will always be "clues" to find these signs and send their children to the hospital in time to avoid delays in treatment.
Why do you keep crying?
Healthy children will be full of energy, have bright eyes, do not cry or make trouble, and are easy to adapt to the environment after their needs are met. Sick children will have abnormal emotions. If the child suddenly becomes unplayable, crying, and loses his temper, we must consider whether the child is sick. These emotional problems in the child are often a precursor to illness.
Children often get irritable and listless when they have fever; babies with rickets are often irritable at night, and it is useless for parents to coax them; in addition, babies with pinworm disease will crawl to the anus at night and lay eggs, causing the skin to itch, and the baby will also be irritable and cry non-stop; crying and restless at night are mostly indigestion.
Children's abnormal appetite is also related to diseases
Healthy children can eat on time and eat more stable. Abnormal phenomena such as sudden loss of appetite, refusal to eat or sudden appetite are often precursors to illness.
such as peptic ulcer , chronic enteritis, tuberculosis , ascariasis, hookworm disease , etc. may all cause loss of appetite; zinc deficiency, vitamin A or vitamin D poisoning may also cause low appetite; some acute diseases have changes in appetite before the symptoms appear; if the child does not want to eat or eats less often, and is accompanied by listlessness, it is a sign of fever.
"sleep movements" have mystery
When a child enters sleep, all organs are in a state of rest, but if the child has "sleep movements" such as sleep talk, sleepwalking, snoring, grinding teeth, and twitching legs, it is a sign of some diseases.
Why grind teeth during sleep?
The mouth is the portal for the human body to communicate with the outside world, and it is also a window to reflect emotional changes. If a person is too nervous or excited during the day, suffers from ascariasis, unbalanced nutritional intake, etc., he will continue to chew during sleep.
Sleeping more and more sips
In the sleep, people's mouth will open due to relaxation of muscles, causing drooling. The temperature and humidity in the mouth are most likely to cause bacteria to reproduce. The accumulation of food residues or sugar substances between teeth and the surface of teeth can easily lead to caries and periodontal disease . These oral diseases will also promote the secretion of saliva during sleep.
Snoring is not a child sleeping soundly
After entering sleep under excessive fatigue, children will breathe unconsciously with their mouths. The purpose is to inhale more oxygen to eliminate fatigue. Many people believe that snoring is a sign of good sleep and good health. However, if the snoring sounds are rising and falling, and the interval is silent for tens of seconds to several minutes, it is very likely to be a manifestation of respiratory and sleep pause syndrome. If you have such symptoms, you should go to the ENT department in time for treatment.
Urinate, stool and diseases
The fresh urine of normal children is transparent or light yellow liquid, and the color is dark and light depending on the amount of urine. For example, children's urine appears in certain special colors for a long time, which is often a sign of certain diseases. For example, red urine is more common in pediatric nephritis, nephritis syndrome, urinary stones, urinary trauma, etc.; turbid urine is common in pyelonephritis , cystitis , renal abscess , urethritis , filariasis or severe renal tuberculosis , etc.
Abnormal stool is also a sign of a child's illness. Constipation and diarrhea indicate that the child is not feeling well.
How to detect abnormal vision in children early
It is necessary to detect abnormal eyes in children early . Parents should pay attention to the following situations so that certain measures can be taken.
- squinted his eyes and looked at things.Because after myopia, you can see things clearly. When myopia is high, it is difficult to see clearly even if you squint your eyes.
- It is easier to frown when looking at objects in the distance.
- When you are fully focused on watching TV, you will tilt your head. Children who have the habit of tilting their heads to look at things are most likely to have eyesight.
A healthy child always acts normally. If the child has abnormal symptoms in various aspects such as diet, sleep, urination, temperament, etc., it may be a pathological condition and a signal of the child's illness. You must observe carefully and discover it in time to attract enough attention!
