Proper management of

According to Dr. Nguyen Van Loc, deputy director of the National Pediatric Hospital, spring disease in children (when it is cold, high humidity, drizzle) is mainly caused by viruses.

The disease is mainly caused by weather, mostly not dangerous, but the attitude of parents is the deciding factor for their children's health and healing time.

Do not apply cold compresses

When children have fever fever, breathing exertion, shortness of breath, tummy tuck, need to be taken to hospital immediately for timely treatment (Photo: webtretho) Cold season, respiratory diseases are very common, but need attention attention to fever caused by adeno virus by the very rapid spread of the disease. When adeno virus invades, children have sudden high fever, cough, pharyngitis, jaw angina with red-eye pain, runny nose.

The dangerous thing is that it is still quite popular in the way of cooling with . cold ice. When the fever, the peripheral circuit of the body relaxes to radiate heat, so if cold packs, then the peripheral circuit will be repeated, the body temperature will increase, the child will have a higher fever.

It is best to apply warmth to the child (water at 32-350C) in the armpit, neck, and groin to cool down because it is a high concentration of large blood vessels. In addition, you can use 70-degree cotton swab to rub your child's armpits and neck to reduce heat and reduce fever. Warming and rubbing the baby's alcohol should be done at a reasonable time.

Children with illness, reduced immunity, oral hygiene are not adequately cleaned, the virus is more invasive. Using a soft cloth to dip boiling water to get yeast, from the baby's mouth must be done before feeding children. Absolutely do not clean the child's mouth immediately after eating, because the structure of the stomach and esophagus of the child is straight so easily vomiting, do not .

Unlike adults with an average breathing rate of 15 times / minute, the child's breathing rate is divided by age group. Infants 50-60 times / minute, children 1-2 years 40 times / minute, children older than 20 times / minute. Place your hands on your baby's abdomen and count the frequency up and down, if your child's breathing is faster than their age is an abnormal sign of the disease. In addition to the phenomenon of children with fever, breathing exertion, tummy tummy, breathing, they should be taken to the hospital immediately.

The risk of getting chickenpox is high

Spring is also the time when chickenpox occurs due to the virus causing illness in humid weather. Children who have not been vaccinated against chickenpox, are not immune, the risk of disease is very high. The disease itself is benign, but if the child scratches a lot due to itching, the small pimples spread out, broken will leave concave scars all over the body, especially on the very miserable face. More dangerous, from the form of benign chickenpox, the virus can run into the blood causing meningitis, others cause shingles neuritis, the body grows small pimples that cause pain in the ribs.

Therefore, to prevent complications, as soon as the child is on the first acne spots, it must be preserved so as not to break the acne. If some of the first acne breakage, the ulcer can be cleaned. Use bitter leaf water to bathe children, supplement water to avoid dehydration due to ulcers too much. When scratching spreads, you need to get your child to the hospital right away.

Doctor Nguyen Van Loc also warned that in the spring of this year, the Children's Hospital received a lot of measles cases in the first and second grade children. The reason is that the parents have . forgotten to take their children to inject. repeated room. Measles vaccination consists of two doses: 9 months and 5 years old.
