孩子一生病, 全家都着急.
Cough, fever, diarrhea… Facing the five common diseases of children, what problems should parents pay attention to?
Today we sorted it out.
After watching it, Baoma did not panic or step on the pit!
About Cough
1. The child coughs for a short time, which does not affect breathing, eating and sleeping, and does not need a hospital.
However, if you cough for more than 10 days or have other symptoms, such as obvious wheezing, shortness of breath or even dyspnea, parents are advised to seek medical treatment in time.
2. Don’t give your child cough medicine without authorization.
FDA explicitly recommends that children under 4 years old should not use over-the-counter cough medicines.
Drink more milk under June, more water for more than 6 months and honey for more than 1 year old, which can relieve cough symptoms.
3. If you can take antibiotics orally, try not to inject them.
Infusion, injection and other methods have faster drug effect and are accompanied by more risks of adverse reactions.
Oral administration is safer for children.
4. Cough will not cause pneumonia.
Whether it will cause bronchitis and pneumonia depends mainly on the result of the confrontation between pathogens and children’s own immunity.
About fever
5. Cover your sweat, drink hot water and soak in hot bath can’t reduce fever!
Sweating is the result of fever reduction, not the cause. Forcibly covering your sweat may raise your body temperature.
The best way to cool down physically is to wear less and cover less.
6. Observing the baby’s state is more important than measuring the temperature.
For babies over 1 year old, if they have a good appetite and no discomfort after fever, then parents do not need to rush to take drugs or send them to the hospital.
7. Don’t give your child aspirin, analgin and other antipyretics.
The only two recommended antipyretics are ibuprofen (available for babies over 6 months old) and acetaminophen (available for babies over 3 months old), which are safe and effective.
8. Fever will not cause encephalitis and pneumonia.
Cause pneumonia, encephalitis, is mostly infected with serious pathogens. And baby fever, is generally caused by common virus infection.
About Diarrhea
9. Children pull too much, not necessarily diarrhea.
If the poop is complete in shape and moderate in hardness, it is not diarrhea because the number of poop is relatively large.
10. Preventing dehydration is more important than stopping diarrhea!
When children are slightly dehydrated, dry oral and lip mucosa and less tears will occur. Severe dehydration will lead to shock and death.
In case of diarrhea, the baby can be given rehydration salt III to quickly replenish lost electrolyte and prevent dehydration.
11. Eating will not aggravate diarrhea.
The reason why the baby pulls as soon as he eats is because of the stomach-colon reflex, which is a kind of self-protection of the intestines and stomach. It can take away viruses and bacteria faster and make the baby better quickly.
On the contrary, diet restriction may aggravate the baby’s dehydration, hypoglycemia, electrolyte disorders, etc.
About eczema
12. Baby’s eczema is not caused by [wet].
Eczema is caused by dry skin, so we should pay more attention to moisturizing when we get eczema!
Vaseline can be selected as a daily moisturizing sealant for mild eczema, which is safe and effective.
13. Common eczema does not need to check allergens!
If eczema is serious, everyone only needs to check the three items of [skin prick test] [blood IgE test] [skin patch test], and other examination items are not necessary.
14. Do not use specific drugs with the words [makeup], [Xiao], [pure natural], [pure herbal], etc.
These drugs with unknown ingredients and side effects should not be used by children.
15. If the baby has eczema, don’t smoke at home.
Smoke can irritate the skin and cause or aggravate eczema.
Not only can you not smoke in front of your children, but you can’t smoke on sofas, beds and carpets, because it is difficult to remove smoke once it falls, so it is better not to smoke.
About Herpangina in Children
16. Under normal circumstances, herpetic angina does not need to go to the hospital.
Herpetic angina is a self-limited disease, that is to say, what can get better slowly without doing it.
17. If you have herpetic angina, don’t wear too many clothes.
At this time, the baby is more likely to get hot. If it is wrapped too tightly, the temperature will not drop and the baby will burn higher and higher.
18. Give the baby a small amount of water many times.
There are two purposes, one is to supplement water and avoid dehydration; One is to wash the ulcer surface to avoid further infection.
For babies under six months old, drink more milk.
19. 2% lidocaine gel can be apply.
Before the baby eats, a small amount of 2% lidocaine gel can be applied to the ulcer of the baby, which can relieve the pain.
20. Do not kiss the baby during the onset of the disease.
Although it will not infect parents, bacteria in parents’ oral cavity may aggravate the baby’s infection.
