8-year-old Chenchen recently had a heart-wrenching incident. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise he would not be discharged from the hospital.
During the summer vacation, Chenchen ate a few pieces of watermelon and went to take a nap. After waking up, he felt a little chest tightness and headache, and accompanied by runny nose and sneezing .
Seeing that he had no fever, his mother didn't take him to the hospital. She just went to the pharmacy to buy some cold medicine and went to work on her own business.
In the middle of the night, Chenchen began to cry, patted his chest hard, and also had difficulty breathing , which scared his mother and rushed Chenchen to the hospital. After a series of examinations, it was finally diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis !
Extreme myocarditis is a very serious infectious disease, which can easily cause malignant heart rate and heart failure , which is very dangerous. However, its symptoms when it occurs are similar to those of a cold.
1. Children with colds are not simple, what are the categories?
Children are in the development stage of the body. The functions of the internal organs are not perfect, so seasons and climate changes can easily affect health. Colds are one of the most common diseases in the children's group. cold, hot, summer and humidity and influenza divides children's cold types into four categories, and the cause of the disease is also preliminarily explained.
Wind-cold cold is a cold caused by cold wind invading the human body and cold. It is common in autumn and winter, followed by spring, and relatively few people get wind-cold cold in summer.
The symptoms of wind and cold are mainly nasal congestion, clearing nasal discharge, cough, fear of cold , etc. Therefore, if these symptoms occur, first of all, you must consider whether the child is sweating and is blown by the cold wind, and whether he has been in a cold environment. Although the main reason for a cold is related to the climate, it ultimately depends on the poor resistance to in the child.
Wind-heat cold is actually a cold caused by heat. This kind of cold is common all seasons. The symptoms are nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat , high fever, constipation , etc. In other words, wind-heat colds can cause dryness and reduced body fluids in .
In clinical practice, we often say that is irritated, cannot cough up phlegm, or cough up yellow phlegm. These are all wind-heat colds, and the medication must be distinguished from wind-cold colds. Some children's cold medicines sold in pharmacies now will clearly state whether they are for wind-heat or wind-cold cold. Before taking them, you should make a choice based on your symptoms.
Summer-damp colds often manifest as headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other , most of which occur in summer. Children's skin sweating function is not very complete, and it is easy to cause hot flashes that cannot fully disperse, which will cause a cold with heat and humidity.
clinically, s, summer and damp colds, is also prone to occur simultaneously with s, gastroenteritis, , because it has a strong correlation with seasonality and is easier to diagnose. For treatment, use drugs such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water to remove dampness and relieve heat. Generally, there will be no particularly serious situation.
Influenza is mostly viral cold , which is contagious, and the symptoms include sudden high fever, headache, cold, fatigue, nausea, etc., and children need to undergo anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs for .
Children's cold is a common disease. Most children with strong resistance can heal themselves without medication, but it only takes a little longer. Therefore, many people take medication by themselves when they find that their children have cold symptoms.
But in fact, some hidden diseases of may also have cold symptoms, such as fulminant myocarditis. If treated according to the cold, it will delay the condition and the consequences will be relatively serious.
2. What is the disease of fulminant myocarditis?
fulminant myocarditis is a very serious infectious disease of . It indicates that the body is attacked by viruses, affecting myocardial function , causing malignant heart rate disorders and acute cardiac failure. Clinically, fulminant myocarditis is a severe symptom of myocarditis . Once it occurs, the condition develops rapidly and the mortality rate is high.
Before we understand fulminant myocarditis, we need to know what myocarditis is.
Myocarditis is a disease in which muscles around the heart are inflammatory. bacteria, fungi, protozoa , parasites, viruses, , etc. may all be pathogenic factors of myocarditis, and its symptoms vary. Some people are basically asymptomatic, some people will have symptoms of cold such as high fever, cough, and others will have heart rate disorders, shock, or even death.
Therefore, it is unscientific to diagnose myocarditis by by merely . In medicine, clinical, laboratory tests and other related auxiliary tests are usually used for diagnosis.
In laboratory examination, the serum concentration of troponin I or T increased significantly, the virus-specific IgG in the serum decreased, the ST segment changes in the electrocardiogram with acute myocardial infarction, abnormal cardiac ultrasound index, structural changes in cardiac magnetic resonance , etc. are all cases that are prone to myocarditis patients.
Myocarditis is divided into mild and severe symptoms. Mild symptoms can be treated without treatment or simply treated with drugs. If severe symptoms occur, the condition is very dangerous and . Fulking myocarditis is one of them.
The most obvious symptom of fulminant myocarditis is cardiac dysfunction . We all know that the lifespan of the heart is the lifespan of a person. As long as the heart beats, life exists.
However, in fulminant myocarditis, virus invades the heart , causing severe cardiogenic shock, heart failure , and sudden death from severe heart rate arrhythmia.
Therefore, after the patient develops symptoms of viral infection such as upper respiratory tract infection , diarrhea , timely treatment is needed to be wary of fulminant myocarditis. This type of patients usually have to go to the cardiovascular department for treatment, and determine whether myocarditis occurs by doing electrocardiogram, X-ray examination, B-ultrasound, coronary angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, virus serological test , etc.
At present, there is no particularly good method for the treatment of fulminant myocarditis. prevents is the best choice to reduce damage. We need to make a preliminary judgment on based on the symptoms and treat in a timely manner.
Children have relatively weak resistance and are more likely to catch a cold. The chance of treating the symptoms of fulminant myocarditis as a cold is also relatively high.
3. Children have three symptoms. Don’t think it’s a common cold. Beware of fulminant myocarditis
In clinical studies, the incidence of fulminant myocarditis is not much related to whether there are basic diseases, so it is difficult to predict. Its concealment lies in the fact that the early symptoms are very similar to the cold.
. Repeated fever, the child is mentally depressed, similar to a viral cold.
When the body is attacked by a virus, the immunity in the body takes effect to compete with it, and a fever will occur. If you treat it as a cold and give anti- viral drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs , high fever will temporarily decrease. On the surface, the symptoms are relieved and the drug seems to have taken effect.
But the body temperature will rise again the next day, which is the reaction of immune cells fighting against the virus again. If this happens to for for three consecutive days, parents should be careful and go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of fulminant myocarditis.
. Children with dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting, fever and muscle soreness, are easily considered to be gastrointestinal colds.
The cause of fulminant myocarditis patients is mainly caused by bacterial or viral infection, coupled with low autoimmunity. Children with weak spleen and stomach function, and are prone to nausea and vomiting reactions due to unclean diet and cold. In addition, other cold symptoms such as fever, muscle soreness, and are the characteristics of gastrointestinal colds.
Therefore, parents should observe their children closely. If the symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and fever show phased recurrence, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If it is fulminant myocarditis, it can also be treated as soon as possible to avoid its disease.
. Children who cough while having sore throat, pale face, and cold sweats, need to be alert.Cough is often accompanied by a cold in children. swelling and pain in the throat is one of the symptoms of wind-heat colds, but wind-heat colds usually have red complexion, no sweating or less sweating, which is inconsistent with pale complexion and cold sweating.
The body also has conflicting symptoms. Beware of the signs of fulminant myocarditis. It is best to go to the hospital for examination immediately to find the cause of the disease, and prescribe the right medicine for .
Therefore, once fulminant myocarditis occurs, it is difficult to treat and it is likely to develop into severe and critical , and it is even in danger of life. must not be careless.
The best way to prevent riotous myocarditis is to improve the body's resistance and avoid viruses .
4. Do these things well to improve children's resistance
Children's low resistance is related to the immature development of their own internal organs, but children have fewer underlying diseases. As long as diet, exercise, lifestyle health science, they can improve their resistance, get less sick, and increase their ability to fight viruses.
Children's diet should be balanced, both high in calcium and high in protein and easy to digest.
is at a critical time for body growth and development. Children have strong demands in calcium, protein , fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and trace element , so children's diet is different from those of the elderly. Their diet structure needs to be as complete as possible.
The tall and strong children commonly found in life usually do not have the habit of being picky about eating or eating . Such children have strong immunity and rarely catch colds. Even if they get sick, they will be better than other children.
is just that children have poor spleen and stomach functions, so they should also pay attention to the methods and methods of eating to avoid damaging spleen and stomach and causing new health problems. Try to eat natural food to get nutrition from food, rather than health products, medicine , etc.
Exercise is a child’s nature, but pay attention to the right amount.
Every child seems to have unlimited energy. In fact, it is not that they are physical strength is, but that their brains are relatively more slow . Therefore, when children exercise, parents should provide appropriate guidance. Too tired can easily cause to overdraw, reduce immunity, and give diseases an opportunity to take advantage of.
, but it cannot be too quiet. Children's energy needs to be released. is too home and too active. is not good.
Be careful when taking medicine for children and be sure to take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor, rather than taking the medicine by yourself.
As the saying goes, is the medicine three parts poison . As long as the drug is effective, it must be toxic. Children's medication needs to be selected based on the symptoms and causes of , rather than taking the medicine without effect and changing to another one. There is no change on the surface, but in fact, taking the wrong medicine of will cause certain harm to the organs. These injuries will not appear after the child grows up.
medicine is not an ordinary item, and it is far from enough to take medicine through instruction manual , especially for children. There are specific rules for types, doses, medication time , etc., and they need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
Article conclusion:
The health of children is the most concerned thing for parents. Children’s colds, as a common disease of , will not cause too much reaction, because it is easy to get and treat. For children with strong resistance to , even if they don’t take medicine, they will improve in a few days. Therefore, as long as it is not too serious symptoms, most parents will not pay too much attention to it.
But doing this has the hidden danger of . Fulking myocarditis is known for its rapid development of , critical condition, and high mortality rate. It also has a certain incidence among children. However, its early symptoms are similar to a cold, and it needs to attract special attention from parents.
If the child has cold symptoms, it is best to communicate with the doctor and then take the medicine to avoid using the wrong medicine in and delaying the condition.#Health True Notes#
