Many parents simply don't know how to solve this wave of "illness tide". Recently, our reporter interviewed a technical professional doctor.
What's the difference between flu and cold? The reporter saw in Taiyuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital that the outpatient hall, the drip service hall and the door of the department were crowded with people, and even everything was normal. "Compared with the usual daily consultation volume of 500 people, the daily consultation volume of hospital outpatients in recent days is more than 1 1,000 people, and in many cases it is 1 1,200 people a day. The patients who come to see a doctor are mainly influenza. " Jassamyn Liu, an outpatient nurse at Taiyuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said.
It is understood that influenza-related activities have not only increased again recently, but also infected with hepatitis B virus. Human papillomavirus influenza A virus (H3N2) and influenza A virus (H 1N 1) are prevalent together, mostly in the first and second grades of primary schools and kindergartens.
So what is the flu? What are the actual symptoms? What's the difference between catching a cold and usual? Hao Aizhen, chief physician of infant health care department of Taiyuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that influenza (commonly known as influenza) is a subacute respiratory sensation caused by influenza virus infection, and it is also a highly contagious and fast-spreading disease. It is mainly spread by droplets in the air. Contact between people or objects polluted by the environment. "The typical clinical manifestations of influenza are sudden high fever, general pain, obvious drowsiness and mild respiratory diseases. Generally, autumn and winter are its frequent periods. Unlike the common cold, influenza is a systemic disease with a long onset time. Accompanied by stomach upset and other diseases, if not treated early, it may be seriously life-threatening. The common cold is characterized by runny nose, runny nose, no fever or low fever, and can be cured in 5-7 days.
In addition, the incubation period of influenza is different from that of a cold, which is less contagious than influenza. Once the flu happens, it is very easy to break out on a large scale.
B Parents should pay attention to these aspects to prevent influenza. Because adults are more energetic and tolerant than children, students are likely to be more sensitive to the flu. During this time, adults should pay attention to improving the safety protection of their babies and preventing the flu.
So how should we protect ourselves during the flu season? Jassamyn Liu, an outpatient nurse of Taiyuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, has brought some common problems to everyone:
1. Indoor ventilation, improve indoor ventilation.
The key to the source of influenza is the spread of droplets in everyone's respiratory tract. Blocking the air conditioning in the room will increase the relative density of germs and greatly increase the probability of infection. Therefore, when the air index is qualified, parents should ventilate indoors to reduce the relative density of indoor mites and virus infection in the air.
2. Pay attention to hygiene and ensure physical and mental health.
Hand washing disinfection can prevent a variety of infectious diseases, which is a simple and effective method to prevent infection. Parents should lead by example and pay attention to hygiene with their children, especially before meals and after going home to play mobile games, be sure to wash the door first and rub their hands with hand sanitizer or soap for at least 20 seconds every time.
3. Balance your diet.
You also need to eat three meals at home on Sunday, especially breakfast, so that your body can generate enough heat energy and improve your ability to keep warm. Kindergarten meals are carefully selected, scientific and standardized. Parents can also refer to the kindergarten recipes, make effective collocation, and supplement the nutrition their children need.
4. Moderate outdoor exercise makes the respiratory tract more resistant to low temperature.
Children's respiratory tract is not stimulated by external gases for a long time, so they can't get low-temperature exercise. After contact with cold patients, their resistance to germs is poor and they are more likely to get sick. Authoritative experts show that even in winter, children should be allowed to do outdoor sports for at least 30 minutes to enhance their resistance while doing a good job of cold protection and warmth. You should do the same thing at home on Sunday.
Protective masks are necessary to prevent colds and smog.
Someone at home has a cold, and patients should wear masks to avoid contact with children and avoid mutual pollution. At the same time, when the temperature is laborious, increase the frequency of natural ventilation to ventilate the room and reduce the number of germs. When the baby is healthy, parents don't need to wear masks for their children because they are afraid of the cold. If you wear a mask all day, the nostrils and all the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract can't get exercise, but the baby will become more and more delicate, and it will be very easy to catch a cold with a slight cold.
6. Go to crowded places less.
In the flu season, children should prevent contact with patients with respiratory diseases such as influenza, and should reduce watching TV dramas, meetings and other group activities to prevent them from going to crowded and turbid places.
