The long vacation is coming and the autumn is brisk. It is very uncomfortable to take my baby around.
However, the old editor of Clove Mother had to give everyone a warning-be careful of the hand-foot-mouth epidemic!
Stay away from your hands, feet and mouths. Don’t play with these [baby walking artifacts]
1. You play and I play all the time-Ocean Ball Pool
The ordinary-sized ocean ball pool can accommodate dozens of children to play at the same time, and the larger one can accommodate hundreds of children. The baby will be happy [fluttering in] and will not come up for several hours.
There are many people on holidays, basically the ball pool is [dumplings], the babies [white socks in, black socks out], not to mention the sweat and saliva that the children shed in it.
CCTV has exposed the sanitary situation of ocean balls: some ocean ball pools are cleaned only once in a few days, and the cleaning method is only to spray disinfectant.
Hundreds of children play in the ball pool a day, but the cleaning frequency is so low. Without sterilized ocean balls, there is a risk of contracting hand-foot-mouth disease.
2. You come and I come-rocking the car
Shaking cars spread all over the community.
Most parents do not think that riding a rocking car will be dangerous to what.
In fact, there are few what people to maintain public children’s amusement facilities such as rocking cars, let alone disinfect them in time.
If a baby with hand-foot-mouth disease has ridden it, other babies may cross-infect when using it again.
Pay attention to the observation, with these symptoms may have infected hands, feet and mouth
Children between 6 months and 5 years old are at risk of hand, foot and mouth infection, with children under 3 years old being the most likely to be recruited.
If the child has herpes similar to small red pimples and fever on his hands, feet and mouth, there is a high probability that he will suffer from hand-foot-mouth disease.
Moreover, it is not only the hands, feet and mouth. The virus circulates with the blood, and sometimes herpes grows on the baby’s knees and buttocks.
What we can do is to do a good job of nursing, so that the baby will suffer less and get better as soon as possible.
Step 1 Reduce fever correctly
If the child’s body temperature exceeds 39 ℃, the child can be given antipyretic drugs such as Merrill Lynch and Tylenol to help relieve the discomfort caused by high temperature.
2. Don’t give your child antibiotics without authorization,
At present, there is no specific medicine for treating hand, foot and mouth. Parents must not give their children some antibiotics and proprietary Chinese medicines because they are impatient.
The medicine does not suit the disease, not only does it not cure the disease, but it is easy to harm the child.
3. Eat a cool, soft and glutinous diet
Children’s oral herpes can form ulcers. Giving babies cold, soft and glutinous food can relieve children’s pain, such as cool eight treasures porridge.
If the child has difficulty eating, he can ask a doctor to prescribe some mouthwash to relieve pain and choose the type that has no side effects.
Mouthwash is used 10-15 minutes before children eat, which can effectively relieve discomfort and help children eat a safe meal.
Under 3 years old high risk, there are the following 3 situations immediately seek medical treatment
Most of the symptoms of hand-foot-mouth disease are relatively mild and can heal themselves without special treatment.
However, about 1% ~ 1.6% of children will develop severe hand-foot-mouth cases after illness, and there will be a probability of death of 0.03 ~ 0.05%.
Children under the age of 3 need special attention, and they are most likely to develop severe cases.
If the child has the following 3 conditions, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible:
1. The baby continues to have high fever.
The body temperature is greater than 39 ℃, or the body temperature is greater than 38.5 ℃ and lasts for more than 3 days.
2. Neurological abnormalities
Children suffer from lethargy, vomiting, headache and other manifestations, sometimes accompanied by limb shaking, unstable standing or myoclonus (i.e. Muscle twitching).
3. Presences before heart failure
The child’s breathing and heart rate increased rapidly, his limbs became cold, he broke out in cold sweat, and his skin was wet and cold.
Severe hand-foot-mouth disease first occurs fever and nervous system abnormalities, and then occurs before heart failure. Therefore, it can be simply recorded as follows: as long as the child’s body temperature is higher than 38.5 ℃ for more than 3 days, lethargy, vomiting, headache and other manifestations occur, the child should be taken to the hospital immediately.
In addition to amusement places such as ocean balls and rocking cars, viruses are often more concentrated in crowded places.
The older children in the kindergarten are all on holiday, and their hands, feet and mouths are highly contagious. They are simply [walking viruses].
To prevent children from contacting sick children, try not to share and bath products with others, and avoid infection with hand-foot-mouth virus.
If there is no hand-foot-mouth vaccine, washing hands frequently is the best prevention! ! !
Not only children, but also adults should wash their faces and hands before contacting children after going home.
