With the adjustment of epidemic policies, social activities in various places have begun to increase, and the chances of children's infection have also increased.
So, what symptoms will a child develop after he is infected with the new coronary pneumonia? How to treat symptomatically?
member of the Beijing Children's New Coronavirus Consultation Expert Group and deputy director of the pediatrics department of Tongren Hospital, said: Judging from the current situation, the children with COVID-19 are mainly fever, and the overall condition is not serious. generally has the following characteristics:
1. Children infected with children have almost no incubation period, and infection begins. Adults will become ill within 3 days of infection, and children will usually become ill within 1 day.
2. The initial symptoms of children with fever are mainly fever, and the fever is uncertain, but most infants and young children have high fever symptoms. Unlike adults who have dry throat and sore throat in the early stage of infection, children may experience convulsions and after infection, especially infants and young children due to rapid rise in body temperature.
3. Children with COVID-19 infection mainly invade the upper respiratory tract, and high fever is not the same as severe illness. Children's immune system is not well developed and is often highly popular, but it is more common in clinical practice than in upper respiratory tract infection, and lung invasion is rarely seen, so it is clinically called "new coronavirus infection" rather than " novel coronavirus pneumonia ".
4. Children with fever reduction are accompanied by digestive tract symptoms. After infection in adults, symptoms are mainly concentrated in the respiratory tract. In addition to respiratory symptoms, children may be accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
