Your baby has a cold, your baby has asthma, your baby has rubella, your baby has been diagnosed with whooping cough, your baby has rhinitis, your baby has pneumonia, spring brings good weather, but it also brings the possibility of many illnesses. It’s hard to keep your baby from getting sick throughout the spring, but of course, having good prevention methods makes a big difference. Influenza Influenza is a highly contagious cold disease caused by the influenza virus. Once a baby has the flu, he or she has a persistent chill and high fever, headache, muscle pain, general weakness, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, dry cough, and congested throat. Influenza virus mainly invades the respiratory tract, but in a few cases, the virus may also enter the bloodstream and cause influenza virus pneumonia or secondary infection. Babies with influenza generally need respiratory isolation for 1 week, wearing a mask and drinking plenty of water. In case of high fever, take antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as APC as appropriate. Babies with dehydration also need appropriate rehydration. Prevention and care of influenza To date, flu prevention is better than treatment as there is still no effective treatment drug and commonly used drugs can only relieve symptoms. It is more effective to prevent influenza by keeping your baby’s activities outdoors in your own home and near your family’s living area and reducing your baby’s daily activities. Have someone watch and take care of your baby every day, eat and sleep at home, then move around outdoors where there are fewer people, and then return home. Avoid exposing your baby to unnecessary people as much as possible. The same goes for those who are responsible for watching and caring for the baby. Avoid going to crowded places to avoid catching germs and coming back to infect the baby. Mothers and fathers coming back from work or strangers from outside should wash their hands carefully before approaching the baby. Normally, you should pay attention to open the windows and keep the air fresh, and you can use vinegar fumigation to disinfect the indoor air. Flu vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza and is recognized worldwide as the most effective and economical measure to prevent influenza. Babies should be vaccinated against influenza in time for the epidemic season.
