" I kept trying to carry it at home with a sense of luck.
I didn't expect that I would get such a serious illness!"
2-year-old Zhou Zhou (pseudonym)'s parent
regrets it.
Because he didn't take it seriously before,
and was afraid of going to the hospital,
2-year-old boy did not seek medical treatment for a week after coughing.
When he came to the hospital again, he was found to have lobar pneumonia on one side of his lung.
Zhou Zhou’s imaging examination results
2-year-old Zhou Zhou had paroxysmal cough accompanied by fever more than a week ago. Parents were afraid of cross-infection when going to the hospital, so they took medicine at home to treat it. After the fever subsided, Zhou Zhou's cough symptoms did not improve. He even started to vomit after coughing and developed chest tightness after exercising. His parents sent him to the pediatric department of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) for treatment.
Zhang Xuerong, the director of pediatrics, initially judged after a series of physical examinations that Zhou Zhou had developed into pneumonia, "The chest X-ray after admission showed that flaky soft tissue-like high-density shadows were seen in the child's right lung, and flaky high-density shadows were also seen in the right lung field. It was considered that partial atelectasis of the right lung was accompanied by pleural effusion ." After seeing a large area of whitening on one side of the child's lung tissue on the chest X-ray, the parents both blamed themselves and regretted it. Fortunately, Zhou Zhou's current symptoms have improved significantly after treatment with integrated Chinese and Western medicine.
Zhang Xuerong reminded parents that the course of new coronavirus in ordinary children is similar to that of pneumonia caused by other viruses. The common symptoms are prolonged coughing, shortness of breath, and a blue complexion. "Most children's respiratory symptoms disappear within 1 week, and a few severe pneumonias often progress after 1 week, and the diagnosis can usually be made at the hospital."
Zhang Xuerong told reporters, If the child has the following conditions, he needs to see a doctor in time, and he must not "carry" it hard to avoid delaying the condition:
① The fever lasts for more than 3 days and there is no sign of improvement;
② There are symptoms of consciousness disorder and febrile convulsions , especially the first convulsions;
③ There are symptoms of laryngitis and laryngeal obstruction. The child cannot lie down, has a hoarse voice, can't breathe, and has a blue complexion. Three concave signs appear (refers to the obvious depression in the suprasternal fossa, supraclavicular fossa, and intercostal space when inhaling), you must come to the hospital as soon as possible, as it may be life-threatening;
④ There is severe disease Symptoms of pneumonia include shortness of breath, blue face, and lack of oxygen;
⑤ Pay attention to the mental state. Can the child sleep, eat normally, and play games after taking antipyretics to reduce fever? If the child keeps crying or is lazy and sleepy, he needs to go to the hospital for treatment in time;
⑥ The child complains of fixed pain in a certain part that cannot be relieved for a long time;
⑦ The child digestive tract symptoms are getting worse day by day, frequent vomiting, and severe diarrhea require timely medical treatment. It is particularly important to note that babies under 3 months old are a special group. Once fever occurs, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
