Recently, children with fever and cold get together to "self recover".
hot summer day, pediatric patients in major hospitals increased sharply. In the Department of Pediatrics of Ji'nan Municipal Chinese medicine hospital, more than 100 children came to visit every day. Among them, the majority of children with colds, fever and diarrhea.
professor Cui Wencheng introduced, children's cold summer cold from the internal cause, because the summer temperature is high, more thirsty, more drink, easy to cause water to stop, depression and heat; children sweating more, will consume energy; humidity, appetite diminished, will affect eating; day long night short and sultry, leading to lack of sleep. All these factors will reduce the resistance of human body and become susceptible to exogenous pathogens. From the external cause, children are easy to drink cold and drink cold, such as air conditioning, drinking cold drinks, eating ice cream, cold water bath, cold night, and so on, the temperature difference is too big, is not easy to adapt, and easy to feel the cold summer damp evil; from the pathogenic microorganism, summer is suitable for the growth of some pathogenic microbes.
the main symptoms were nasal congestion, sneezing, fever, head weight, abdominal pain, diarrhea and so on.
it takes a while to recover from the summer colds, because the body's positive (immune system) and pathogenic bacteria (pathogenic microbes) need a process. Parents can't be too anxious. " Cui Wencheng said, if there is no complication, a cold usually can recover in 7~10 days.
it is the basic way for children to get enough sleep, drink enough water and recover their own disease resistance. Proper treatment and care can improve children's resistance to disease.
fever is generally lasting for 3~5 days, and the body temperature is more than 38.5 C can be used to relieve heat and analgesics. Cui Wencheng reminds us that if fever exceeds 39.5 degrees C, or over three days of repeated fever, or with chills, headaches, convulsions, coma, or cough, joint pain, vomiting and hematuria, we should be hospitalized in time.
prevention of summer colds, mainly to ensure adequate sleep, strengthen exercise and strengthen resistance; do not overtake cold, eat cold and hair, eat fresh ginger and garlic, drink more water; often open the window ventilation, keep the indoor air smooth; reduce the time in the air-conditioned room, air conditioning temperature do not tune It is too low; when it is rainy or low, it is necessary to add clothes in time. Those who have caught cold should not contact their children closely so as not to cross infection. When the disease is not fully recovered, do not rush to send your child to kindergarten to protect other children.
