According to the experience of previous years, the closer to the Spring Festival, the number of pediatric cases in the hospital will increase, and there will be a "full" phenomenon from time to time, why is this happening? There is no other reason, that is, many children are frequently recruited"Spring Festival disease".Result in.
Therefore, in this article, we will talk about the 4 common "Spring Festival diseases" in pediatrics, and it is recommended that parents understand them in advance and be prepared, so that their children can spend the New Year in good health and save themselves from running to the hospital.
There are two main reasons for the occurrence of this type of disease.
First, eating and drinking without moderation. Especially during the Spring Festival, there are really all kinds of delicacies, big fish and meat, fried food, plus a variety of snacks and drinks, **too much. Children have a delicate spleen and stomach, and if they eat too much and too miscellaneous, their spleen and stomach have to work hard all the time, and if they don't pay attention to it, they can have problems such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Second, at the turn of winter and spring, it is actually a period of high incidence of norovirus infection, and protective measures are not in placeThe child may have symptoms of acute gastroenteritis such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Precautionary measures:
1.The three meals are basically the same as usual. Even on holidays, the dietary rules developed on weekdays cannot be broken at will, so as not to disrupt the normal rhythm of digestion and absorption of the stomach and intestines.
2.Don't let your child just eat meat, and the combination of meat and vegetables should be moderate. Rice and vegetables should be balanced and balanced, stay away from raw and cold fruits, drinks and indigestible foods, like rice cakes made of glutinous rice, which are too sweet and difficult to digest, so it is best to give them to children less.
3.Also, when eating, remember to be seven minutes fullNot only is it easy for the stomach and intestines, but it also helps in the digestion of food.
4.In addition, maintaining food hygiene is also a priorityDon't give your child food that has been reheated repeatedly, and let them wash their hands more often so that bacteria or viruses don't have a chance to cause trouble.
5.Last but not least, keep some professional children's diarrhea medicines at home! For example,Children's Po Chai Oral Liquid is especially suitable for the kind of damp-heat diarrhea with sticky and foul-smelling stool, hot stool, and yellow and greasy tongue. And if the baby's stool is loose and not smelly, not hot, and the tongue coating is white and greasy, then you have to prepare Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid to help deal with cold and damp diarrhea.
During the Spring Festival, visiting relatives and friends, people coming and going, and the mobility is very large, which is a great favorable condition for the spread of the virus.
Moreover, there may be cold air during the Spring Festival this year, and children have weak resistance and are more likely to have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections such as fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sore throat.
Therefore, rhinovirus, influenza virus and new crown virus have to be prevented.
Precautionary measures:
1.During the Spring Festival, don't forget to wear a mask when you go out, wash your hands frequently, open windows regularly for ventilation, and maintain social distancing, which may seem like a trivial matter, but it is actually the simplest and most effective means of protection.
2.When visiting relatives, if you find that a loved one has flu symptoms, keep your child at a distance and don't get too close.
3.Prepare some cold medicines at home, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen for fever reduction, and some Chinese patent medicines with antiviral effects, such asXiao Chai Hu Granules, Kegan Li Oral Liquid, Lianhua Qingwen CapsulesWait, prepare one or two, and when the child has symptoms, follow the doctor's instructions in time to use the symptoms, which can save a lot of trouble.
4.If you find that your child has a high fever and does not get better after taking antipyretics, or if it is accompanied by other serious symptoms, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, cyanosis of the lips, convulsions, etc., you should go to the hospital immediately without delay.
This is a common and life-threatening emergency in children, especially in children under the age of 3, because their chewing function has not developed well at this time, and the protective function of the throat is not very perfect. Crying, laughing, or falling while eating can cause the contents of your mouth to enter the airway when you inhale.
Slightly larger ones may also cause some foreign objects (such as small toy parts, pen caps, etc.) to enter the trachea due to playing, running and jumping, causing airway obstruction, which can cause lung damage in mild cases and suffocate to death in severe cases.
Precautionary measures:
This kind of "tracheal foreign body" can be eliminated in advance, and what parents should do is not to give children some round, hard, and hard-to-chew food.
For example,Whole peanuts, nuts, or slippery jellies, candies, etc., dolls under the age of 4 should pay the most attention to these. Also, don't let your child eat while running and jumping, and don't give them chewing gum, it's easy to have problems.
Important: If your child does accidentally inhale a foreign body, you can use the Heimlich maneuver immediately, the specific operation is as follows, I hope you don't need it, but be sure to know!
Allergies are also a common problem for children during the Spring Festival, especially when visiting relatives and children try foods that they have not eaten.
Therefore, you have to be careful when visiting relatives, and it is best not to let your children try unfamiliar food.
Moreover, a change in the living environment may also lead to allergies, so it is necessary to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the place where the baby lives are appropriate, and it is more appropriate to wear cotton clothes.
If the child really has symptoms of allergies, it is necessary to pay attention to find out in time, stop the food that may cause allergies, and the problem of allergies may be alleviated.
Understand and prevent "Spring Festival disease" in advance, and wish your baby a healthy and happy New Year!
