Often complicated with respiratory diseases, such as otitis media, laryngotracheitis, pneumonia, measles encephalitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and other serious complications. At present, there is no specific drug treatment. In China, since 1965, the incidence of measles has dropped significantly after the universal vaccination of live attenuated measles vaccine. This shows the importance of vaccines.
What should I pay attention to when I have measles? 1. To keep the indoor air fresh, open the window for half an hour every morning and evening to avoid the air outlet facing the baby. We should actively cooperate with doctors for timely treatment and medication. It is necessary to reduce the number of people visiting the baby to prevent others from transmitting germs to the baby again and aggravating pneumonia.
2. To keep your baby's skin clean, you can bathe or lick your baby every day, pay attention to the water temperature and keep warm to avoid catching a cold. Trim your baby's nails in time to avoid scratching your face. If you think your baby is too young to cut, you can also wrap your baby's hand with gauze.
3. Feed the baby warm water between milkings. When the weather is hot, you can increase the number of times you feed water, help your baby speed up metabolism, and excrete the garbage in your body through sweat. If you are not in the hospital, you can take your baby's temperature every 4 hours. This can detect whether the body temperature is normal in time.
How to prevent measles 1, manage the source of infection, closely isolate patients and contacts for 3 weeks; During the epidemic, nurseries, kindergartens and other children's institutions should suspend the transfer of susceptible children.
2, cut off the route of transmission ward pay attention to ventilation, make full use of sunlight or ultraviolet radiation; After leaving the ward, medical staff should wash their hands and change their coats or stay in the air circulation for 20 minutes before contacting the susceptible population.
3. Vaccination with live measles vaccine is the most effective and fundamental method to prevent measles. At present, the national measles vaccination is the first injection at the age of 8 months, and the injection is strengthened at the age of 6. Individual provinces arrange to replant a needle 18 months to 24 months. In addition, the inoculation dose was 0.5ml.
4. Passive immunization The weak, sick and vulnerable children with close contact history should adopt passive immunization. Intramuscular injection of gamma globulin 0. 1 ~ 0.2 ml/kg and placental globulin 0.5 ~ 1.0 ml/kg can prevent the onset within 5 days after contact and relieve the symptoms within 6 ~ 9 days. The effective period of immunization is 3 weeks.
