1.First of all, we should pay careful attention to and patiently record the abnormal changes in baby’s body If baby is not feeling well, he/she will definitely behave abnormally in terms of appetite, sleep, urine and stool, mental state, etc. Mothers and fathers should carefully observe the changes in these aspects of the baby every day and keep some records (as the baby’s usual health record). Once you find that your baby has lost appetite, sleep disturbance, crying, poor appetite or even vomiting or diarrhea, you must realize that your baby may be sick. Before sending your baby to the pediatrician, mom and dad must learn and make a habit of doing one very important thing documenting your baby’s condition and symptoms in more detail. The main record by time elapsed should be as concise as possible, including recording when and how the baby’s temperature, weight, color, appetite, crying, sleep, spirit, number and state of urination and defecation change, etc. This record will facilitate mom and dad to accurately describe the baby’s symptoms to the doctor and improve the efficiency of the visit. It is recommended that mothers and fathers use a special book to record their baby’s medical history at the beginning, so that they can continuously observe the trend of changes in their baby’s condition and also facilitate their baby’s usual health management. For babies with chronic diseases (e.g. asthma, nephrotic syndrome), this disease memo is even more important. Never use sticky notes to keep track of your baby’s condition, so that you don’t lose it once and can’t keep it. You should also record your baby’s medication. In addition to the name of the medication and the precautions for taking it, you should also record whether your baby likes to take the medication and whether he or she has any adverse reactions to it: diarrhea, vomiting, rash, etc. If the baby is allergic to a certain drug (such as penicillin, cephalosporin), it must be marked on the baby’s medical record. (1) The mother who knows the most about the baby’s condition should try to bring the baby to the hospital, and bring the baby’s medical record and medical log so that the doctor can understand the baby’s past illness and usual health condition in a simple and detailed way. (2) If the mother and father briefly record the following conditions of the baby beforehand, they will be able to grasp the main points during the consultation and briefly express the baby’s condition correctly to the doctor: ① Temperature: the baby’s temperature the night before, the morning and the baby’s usual temperature. ②Emotion: whether the baby is unstable, crying and fussing or in the same mood as usual. ③Spirit: Is the baby’s spirit very poor, depressed or running and playing freely as usual. ④Appetite: whether there is any increase or decrease or the same as usual. ⑤ cough, runny nose, vomiting and other symptoms and their duration. (6) The time and place of the baby’s rash. (7) Any abnormalities in the baby’s urine and stool. (3) Do not add the name of the illness yourself when expressing your baby’s condition. After expressing your baby’s symptoms to the doctor, do not judge the type of illness and condition of your baby yourself. (4) Do not conceal your baby’s underlying disease from the doctor If your baby has an underlying disease that is difficult for you to talk about (e.g. congenital heart disease, epilepsy, cerebral palsy), you should never conceal it from the doctor, otherwise it will affect the doctor’s correct treatment of your baby, and may even endanger your baby’s life due to contraindications in the use of medication. (1) When you bring your baby to the hospital, try not to wear a pullover, especially not a pantyliner. You should give your baby clothes with front placket and separate top and bottom, so that it is easy to undress your baby for medical examination and treatment. (2) It is best for the mother to help the baby undress for the doctor’s examination. Of course, this can be done by the doctor and nurse, but most children prefer and are more comfortable with the mother doing it. (3) Babies under 3 years old cannot sit independently in the consultation chair to be examined by the doctor, and some of them may cry and fuss. The mother holds the baby’s feet between her legs, her right hand holds the baby’s hands, and her left hand fixes the baby’s head, so that the baby can hardly move. (Parents and doctors should trust each other and should not be too suspicious of the doctors’ and nurses’ treatment. Of course, if you have any questions, you should ask the doctor frankly so that your questions can be answered as soon as possible. Mothers and fathers should not refuse or stop giving medication to their babies just because they do not trust the doctor or because they are worried about the side effects of the medication, which may aggravate the baby’s condition or lead to further illness. 4, to know how to effectively save the medical records Baby’s medical records are also an important record of the baby’s growth process, careful and responsible parents should learn to save the baby’s medical records completely and effectively, especially for babies with chronic diseases (such as kidney disease, asthma), the complete preservation of medical records is essential. (1) Make it a habit to keep your baby’s medical records in a fixed place at home so that they are easily accessible in case of emergency. (2) Try to buy a new medical record after one is used up so that you can keep a consistent record of your baby’s medical appointments. Do not use several medical records at the same time, so as not to cause confusion to yourself and your doctor. (3) Regularly organize the medical records (for example, once every 1 or 2 years), mark the old medical records in chronological order, compile the serial numbers and bind them well. (4) Do not just throw away the reports of laboratory tests and auxiliary examinations, but paste or bind them in chronological order from far to near (it is better to paste or bind them in time after each visit to avoid losing them). (5) When the health insurance company asks for your baby’s original medical record, you must leave a copy of the medical record before handing it over, keeping in mind that health insurance companies usually do not return the patient’s original medical record.
