Huasheng**, December 1 (Quan**Reporter Zhou Yangle, Fu Cong, Zhou Linxi, Correspondent Wu Yifan) Winter is a high incidence period for respiratory diseases such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia and influenza in children. On November 30, the Provincial Health Commission, the Provincial Bureau of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Provincial Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention organized traditional Chinese medicine experts to formulate the "Hunan Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Prevention and Treatment Plan for Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia in Children (2023 Edition)". Today, the reporter interviewed Zhang Di, a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Hunan Province and chief physician of pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to talk about the issues that parents are concerned about.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, influenza and other respiratory diseases are not new diseases, and they are not complicated in themselves, so you don't need to panic, as long as they are timely, they will not cause serious results or sequelae. Zhang Di said that the recent rise in acute respiratory diseases is related to the superposition of a variety of respiratory pathogens. Many children infected with mycoplasma pneumonia have weakened immunity and are infected with other viruses, such as influenza A. But it is not necessary to talk about mycoplasma to "discolor". Mycoplasma pneumoniae is indeed contagious, and the population and density of kindergartens and primary schools are large, so the epidemic is high.
If there are no other complications, it usually gets better within a week of infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae. However, if the child has listlessness and a high fever that persists, parents should pay special attention and be sure to consult a professional doctor. Zhang Di reminded. He pointed out that because each person's body functions are different, there are great individual differences, and different children will have different symptoms after being infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Some children have strong resistance and mild symptoms, and some children with underlying diseases have Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumoniae, which is prone to serious consequences, so parents should not take it lightly.
Zhang Di said that the most important thing to stay away from respiratory infectious diseases is to improve children's own immunity through appropriate physical exercise, and then improve their ability to resist virusesTry to avoid going to crowded places and avoid participating in gatheringsLet the child pay attention to rest, which will help the immunity and the recovery of the body;In terms of diet, avoid overeating, and focus on a light diet. Finally, he reminded parents to avoid over-examining and medicating their children.
