Be aware of the prevention of spring illnesses in young children!

With the approach of spring, various diseases are creeping up on us, so how should our babies be prevented? Babies should do three things to prevent measles in the first place! Measles Vaccination Currently, measles vaccination is the most effective measure to prevent measles. Parents must take their children and bring their vaccination cards to the vaccination clinics of the community health service centers where they live on time to receive the vaccine, and if any vaccine is found to be missed, it should be replenished as soon as possible to prevent the child from contracting the measles virus due to lack of resistance. Do not go to crowded places Measles is a respiratory infection that is highly contagious. You should minimize visits to crowded public places with poor air circulation and wear a mask when necessary, such as when visiting a hospital. Prompt isolation from measles patients If there are adults or children around who have measles, or if there is a measles outbreak in schools, it is important to avoid contact with these people, and to cooperate with disease control authorities in epidemiological investigations, isolation, disinfection, and emergency vaccination. Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. The disease is spread in the air mainly through droplets. Children often start quickly, highly contagious, widespread, spread quickly, easy to cause epidemics and pandemics. Children must be isolated in situ until 2 days after the fever has subsided, and close contacts must be placed under medical observation for 3 days. Cut off the transmission route: patient nasal and pharyngeal secretions and contaminants should be disinfected with bleach, peroxyacetic acid, etc., indoor ventilation, and large gatherings are prohibited during epidemics. Protect susceptible children, vaccination and drug prophylaxis during the epidemic should be carried out if available. 2, epidemic meningitis is an acute respiratory infection caused by meningococcal meningitis, with rapid onset, change, rapid spread, widespread characteristics, children under 15 years of age, the onset of the disease from late winter and early spring, early fever, followed by headache, followed by vomiting, these three major symptoms are called by medical experts as the alarm of rheumatoid brain. Without timely treatment, the danger is great. Therefore, attention should be paid to the protection of susceptible people, early detection of patients timely isolation and treatment. 3, chickenpox Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by chickenpox virus. Early spring is prone to epidemic, often occurring in children aged 2 to 6 years. Preventive measures are: improve the hygiene of the room, keep the air circulation; strengthen nutrition, appropriate protein supplementation, and go to public places less during the epidemic. 4. Scarlet fever is an infectious disease with a high incidence in spring, mostly in young children. The main features are fever, sore throat, small red papules all over the body, red cheeks, pale perioral area, and a bright red strawberry-like tongue. The room should have sufficient sunlight, fresh air and be quiet. It is best to rest in bed, eat liquid food and drink more water. Also pay attention to oral hygiene and strengthen skin care. 5, measles Measles is an acute respiratory infection caused by the measles virus. The virus survives in the respiratory secretions of the patient and does not survive for a long time in the air. It is mainly spread by airborne droplets and is mostly seen in young children under 5 years of age. The main clinical manifestations are high fever, upper respiratory tract infection, conjunctivitis, measles mucosal spots and generalized maculopapular rash. The incubation period is about ten days, and the rash appears 3 to 4 days after a continuous high fever, as red maculopapular rash, distributed throughout the body, in the order of the rash is the head and face, trunk and limbs, and the rash is complete within 3 days, leaving brown pigmentation after the rash subsides. At present, China’s measles vaccination has become quite popular, but we should also pay attention to prevention. 6, mumps The parotid gland is inflamed and swollen on one or both sides, with a peak incidence in spring, and children aged 3 to 15 years are prone to the disease. The focus should be on protecting susceptible adolescent children with a history of exposure, especially males, because the disease damages reproductive organs (such as the testes). During the epidemic season, drug prophylaxis is available, such as a decoction of Banlangen for internal use. 7. Infectious hepatitis A Infectious hepatitis caused by the hepatitis A virus, the high incidence in spring, mostly seen in children under 10 years of age, fecal transmission or food-borne infection, fever, malaise, yellow urine, nausea and aversion to oil and other symptoms at the beginning of the disease, the response is to pay attention to hygiene, timely isolation and treatment of patients.
