A little girl named Sienna Duffield in England was originally very beautiful and cute. But on her second birthday, a relative gave her a kiss when the relative developed a shingles rash on her lip. Since babies have weak resistance, little Sienna was quickly infected with the dreaded herpes zoster virus. The herpes made her so uncomfortable that she had to keep scratching with her hands until she was drenched in blood. A kiss is life-threatening? Babies have weaker immune systems, and oral bacteria that don’t make adults sick are likely to make babies sick, and kissing disease is more common before age 5. Kissing disease, also known as infectious mononucleosis, is caused by EBV infection, which is transmitted through the mouth-to-mouth route and can be caused by kissing, mouth-to-mouth feeding, and sharing utensils. This virus is present throughout the year, but has a higher incidence in the fall and winter. Typical signs of kissing disease: fever, large lymph nodes, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, rash, pharyngitis, and eyelid edema. Kissing poses a significant risk to babies and the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends that any form of saliva-sharing behavior with infants and children should be avoided. Therefore, it is best for adults not to kiss their babies mouth-to-mouth or chew and feed their meals to them. 7 types of people should not be too close to the baby 1, people with diarrhea Although diarrhea is an intestinal infection, many disease-causing pathogens enter the intestine through the mouth. If a person with diarrhea has not washed his hands or washed them after he had a bowel movement or contact with feces (including diaper changes), he may infect the baby after contacting him and increase the chances of infectious diarrhea in the baby. 2, people suffering from periodontal disease and other oral diseases There are countless bacteria in the mouth of adults, some of which are responsible for tooth decay, periodontal disease (including gingivitis, periodontitis, etc.), they may also be transmitted to the baby through saliva, endangering the baby’s delicate milk teeth, including specific ways such as mouth-to-mouth kissing, chewed and fed. And, if the adult oral problems are not obvious, may not be deliberately to check the treatment, so blocking the saliva transmission of this way is the most reliable prevention method. 3.People who wear heavy make-up After make-up, kissing with the baby, the make-up on the adult’s face will rub against the baby’s face, and the baby is likely to eat the hand after scratching the face with the hand, and then mistakenly lick the lead contained in the make-up into the stomach. 4, infectious mononucleosis patients Infectious disease caused by EBV, the main symptoms are fever, pharyngotonsillitis, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and liver and spleen enlargement, saliva can cause infection. 5.Herpes rash (blisters) on the face is developing If an adult has a rash (blisters) caused by herpes on the face is developing, kissing may also spread (mostly herpes simplex virus) – not only can you not kiss the mouth, as long as the place where the herpes is growing do not touch it. 6, people with colds and coughs If you have a sore throat, cough, runny nose, fever and other symptoms, you must keep your distance from your baby, preferably with a mask, and never kiss your baby. 7, people infected with Helicobacter pylori such as infants and infected people share utensils, eat the patient chewed food (long overdue ban), or kissed by the patient’s mouth, may be infected. How to make out with the baby is appropriate? 1, do not kiss the little hand: If you kiss the baby’s little hand, the baby will then put the little hand in his mouth and suck it, so that the germs wreak havoc on the baby’s body. Adults always carry a variety of bacteria, which is enough to make the baby born field disease. 2, parent-child massage: instead of kissing the baby, it is better to give the baby a “spa”. First of all, parents should wash their hands clean, and then follow the scientific method for the baby massage, but to control the strength. 3, a small peck: If you want to kiss the baby very much, do not put the next form, like a small bird peck it! Such a kiss can not only meet the parents, but also to avoid the exchange of saliva and prevent cross-infection. 4, do not leave saliva: when kissing the baby, parents must be careful not to let the saliva stay on the baby’s face, especially in the summer. The baby itself is prone to sweating, and if the parents’ saliva also stops on the baby’s face, it will induce all kinds of rashes to appear. So never leave drool Oh ~ 5, hand washing and dressing: parents after work, for the sake of the baby’s health, the first thing to do is to wash hands and change clothes. Especially for those who work in hospitals, it is important to pay attention, in order to avoid bringing the virus to the baby, be sure to do a good job of cleaning.
