The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism Authoritative Experts - Peking University Third Hospital Dean Qiao Jie , and Wang Quan, director of the Emergency Department of Beijing Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, gave professional answers.

1. Question: Are pregnant women more susceptible to the new coronavirus than the general population? How to take good protection?

Qiao Jie: Judging from the overall population performance, the infection rate of pregnant women, the infection rate of Omickron is similar to that of the general population, and the types of symptoms that appear are also similar to that of the general population, such as dry throat, cough, runny nose, soreness throughout the body, fever, etc. Overall, infection has not had more impact on maternal health than the general population.

Pregnant and childbirth who suffer from underlying diseases such as hypertension , diabetes should strengthen self-protection. Women with the pregnancy plan should be vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine before pregnancy to enhance their immunity. Try to adjust your physical condition before getting pregnant.

Pregnant and childbirth women should pay attention to protection and achieve the following key points: wear masks when going out, wear masks in public places, wear N95 masks when visiting hospitals, and avoid going to places where people gather; ventilate frequently at home or in the office to keep the air circulating; wash hands frequently when you come out.

2. Question: If the pregnant woman is quarantined and cannot see a doctor on time, what should I do?

Qiao Jie: If pregnant women are unable to seek medical treatment on time when they are isolated, don’t be anxious or anxious, and contact their midwifery institution in a timely manner. If the visit is a routine physical examination, the time can be changed; if it is an emergency treatment, you can communicate with the community in a timely manner and see the treatment through special channels.

3. Question: It is the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases. Children have fever and cough. Do you need to go to the hospital?

Wang Quan: Autumn and winter are the peak season for respiratory diseases in children, and fever and cough are common symptoms of respiratory diseases in children. There are many pathogens that cause symptoms of fever and cough, mainly viruses such as influenza viruses, including certain bacteria and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

If the child is in a stable state after he becomes ill, parents can do symptomatic treatment and observe the condition. If you have fever for more than three days, continue to have high fever, frequent coughing or vomiting, or even experience mass, frequent diarrhea, pus and bloody stool, decreased urine output, rapid breathing, dyspnea, dyspnea, consciousness disorder, etc., parents should take their children to seek medical treatment in time.

During the hospital, parents should take good health protection for themselves and their children, wear masks, and maintain good hand hygiene. After returning home, take off your coat, shoes and hats and wash your hands carefully.
