1 Preface

Talking about the current situation of cities large and small gradually unblocking, parents cannot help but start to worry about whether the safety of their children can be guaranteed. Parents' concerns are not unreasonable. Judging from the current number of positive people, the proportion of people infected with virus is still rising. Whether we take medicine or seek medical treatment after infection, it is a risk issue we need to face. As long as we go out to crowded places and experience intensive contact, our chance of infection can be said to be 100%. Masks can only provide basic protection. Everyone knows . As far as the current situation is concerned, we can only rely on immunity for support. At present, many schools are implementing online class procedures to ensure that children's health is protected.

2 How to reduce the risk of infection in children

* Reduce the frequency of going out

Parents should be very aware that the virus specifically targets children with weak immunity or the elderly who have lost immunity. If you have children at home, of course you must take strict protection and be responsible for the safety of the children. In the past three years of the epidemic, almost most areas have chosen a lockdown method to ensure the safety of residents. But now we are facing a virus that has been diluted 40 times. The country has protected us for three years. Now we need to rely entirely on ourselves. Of course, relying solely on the immune system to fight the virus is completely impossible for children with immature immunity. Therefore, in order to prevent children from being infected, parents should find ways to solve the problem from the source. Both children and parents themselves should not go out without affecting their lives. Because the chance of the virus infecting children is too high, take precautions before it happens. Try not to go out, and even if you go out, do not go to crowded places. This is not only responsible for your personal health, but also for your family.

* Take protective measures

Both parents and children need to develop good hygiene and health habits. This is very necessary and can also minimize the spread of the virus. Currently, wearing a mask, alcohol disinfection, and the seven-step handwashing method can effectively curb viral infection. maintain sufficient social safety distance, whether it is for yourself or your relatives and friends, it is for the sake of considering each other, one step less for socialization and one step for civilization. In addition, parents must spray alcohol whenever they come back from going out, and clothes need to be touched immediately. Everything that comes into contact with the outside air needs to be disinfected and replaced in time to reduce the frequency of close contact, as long as it is a safety issue for children. None of us take this lightly.

Finally, in daily life, parents should guide their children to actively exercise. As long as they have a healthy body, the possibility of being attacked by viruses will be greatly reduced. If parents can supervise their children to complete their vitamin C intake every day, and let their children try not to be picky eaters, and keep protein and carbohydrates sufficient, Keep balance! This can help children develop a good body against viruses.

03 What should parents do after infection

* Do not abuse cold medicines

In this special period, we have to face our health problems in a special way. If parents cannot understand the nature and purpose of medicines, they must not think of mixing medicines. Consult a doctor through the Internet first, because we have to consider the health of our children. Once you choose the wrong medicine, your child will be more likely to have a persistent high fever. Please treat antipyretics rationally during special periods. Do not take antipyretics if you are not sick, as they are poisonous. Of course, do not take large amounts of antipyretics repeatedly because of infection. For any medicine, you need to read the instructions and follow the doctor's instructions carefully, rather than just follow your whim. Do not give medicines to infants and young children indiscriminately. The most reliable way is to go to the hospital for outpatient treatment. Taking cold medicine along with food supplements can help children recover faster. Parents should relax their mind and not tire themselves out while taking care of their children.

*Choose physical cooling methods to reduce fever

After children are infected with new crown , what parents are most afraid of is fever and high fever. But I don’t dare to go to an overly dense place like a hospital, so the simplest and most effective way is to perform physical cooling on the basis of antipyretics. So what types of physical cooling can I choose?

Warm water bath

Generally choose to use warm water bath at 38 degrees to 40 degrees. The water temperature is slightly higher than body surface temperature . Too hot can easily burn the skin, and too cold can easily cause the blood vessels of the skin to constrict, which is not conducive to cooling. After soaking with a towel, wipe the neck, armpits, groin, and other places with dense blood vessels. Parents should constantly rub the soles of the child's feet, and then wipe the key heating parts of the body with warm water, such as the groin, which are rich in blood vessels, to help the child's body dissipate heat. Keep wiping until the body temperature is normal. Wipe once every 20 to 30 minutes, and then take the temperature again after half an hour. Remember, do not use alcohol to wipe, because the skin of infants and young children is too delicate.

Taking a bath to cool down

Taking a bath at a temperature generally between 35 and 38 degrees can achieve a cooling effect. Taking a bath at this temperature can dissipate heat very well. But the bathing time should not be too long. It can be finished in three to five minutes to prevent body collapse. After bathing, the child should be dried in time, covered with a quilt and left to cool down.

Cold compress on the head

This method is suitable for children with high fever. The body surface temperature is often greater than 39 degrees. You can use a cold towel or 10% saline wet compress, but be sure to observe whether the skin is pale or red. If your child feels any discomfort, please stop immediately. In this case, change the product every 5 to 10 minutes. Check the temperature after 30 minutes of wet compress.

But the most important thing is to drink water. Children improve their metabolism by replenishing water, and take heat out of the body through excretion. Drinking more water is very effective for children to resist high fever. If your child sweats a lot or becomes listless after having a fever, he or she must be sent to the hospital for treatment.

4 Conclusion

Faced with the gradual unblocking of various regions, parents should remember to protect themselves while taking care of their children. Three years ago when the epidemic peaked, we also experienced many hardships and survived until today. Now we are facing a virus that has been diluted 40 times. What we can have is a greater chance of survival. Don’t believe in rumors and don’t spread rumors. I believe in the country and the party. We will definitely be able to defeat the virus. I look forward to everyone taking off their masks.
