Introduction:
When a child is sick, parents often feel anxious and helpless. This is not only a concern for the child's body, but also a manifestation of parental responsibility. In the face of a sudden illness, we can't help but feel at a loss, but each challenge has also achieved more mature observation and coping experience. This is the process of our common growth, and it is also a test of family warmth.
When a child is sick, parents are often anxious and observant. Once, my brother and sister had a fever at the same time, and the condition was extremely serious. When they were children, they had a fever and we would normally watch at home, but this time it was very different. I was worried about the sudden rise in symptoms, the inability to control my temperature with medications, and the constant coughing accompanied by vomiting.
Experience has taught me that one of the characteristics of a viral infection is the rapid onset of fever, and this time it was faster than I expected. What made me even more apprehensive was that their friends first suffered from influenza A and mycoplasma pneumonia, which made it difficult for me to judge the specific ** that the brother and sister were suffering.
My gut told me it was an unusual infection. This has never been the case before, and this time we dare not take it lightly. Timely medical attention has become a priority. Despite the fact that the hospital was overcrowded and the queue reached nearly 300 people, I insisted on waiting. After all, I don't dare to take even the slightest doubt about my child's health.
The hospital was crowded with children with fever-reducing patches, runny noses and coughs, which seemed to have similar symptoms, but in fact they were all different. It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that we finally saw the doctor. After a blood test, a blood test, and a pharyngeal test, my suspicions were confirmed: mycoplasma was weakly positive, the inflammation was about to spread to the lungs, and the flu virus was also present. The doctor affirmed my practice of seeking medical attention in a timely manner, emphatically:
Every child behaves differently. Some seem to have no cough but have pneumonia, and some have coughed for many days but only bronchitis. Your situation may seem like a sudden fever, but in reality, the virus is already lurking in your body. Two or three days later, it may be much more difficult. ”
As parents, we are the first responsible person for our children, and we always pay attention to their physical and mental health. However, when illness strikes, it comes in a hurry, and our observations can sometimes be overwhelming. Nowadays, primary school students are generally sick, and parents are also disturbed. In such an environment, we should not rely on the opinions of others alone, but should respond calmly based on our own observations and understandings.
Wearing a mask and washing hands frequently are the best means of prevention at this stage. For the use of drugs, the full amount should be used strictly according to the doctor's instructions to avoid recurrence caused by ineffectiveness. Regarding antipyretics, doctors point out that they are extremely safe, but the frequency of use needs to be carefully controlled. In addition, strengthening exercise, especially outdoor activities, is an effective way to strengthen your child's physical resistance. Although the condition is anxiety-inducing, we should face it with peace of mind and not let anxiety become an obstacle for children.
Every time a child gets sick, it is a test, not only a physical challenge for the child, but also a baptism for the parents' minds. Hopefully, my sharing will provide some help to other parents.
Conclusion: Every time a child is sick, we deeply appreciate the warmth and responsibility of the family. We are the guardians of our children and their strongest support. No matter what kind of disease we are facing, our observation and judgment are crucial. At this stage, I learned more about children's health and realized the importance of family. In the future, I will continue to face my child's illness with a calmer attitude, and at the same time continue to improve my professional knowledge and contribute to the health and happiness of my child.
