Since the spring - summer transfer window, children are susceptible to illness, what should parents do?

viral fever

Although the changing seasons are warmer, there are also sudden cold spells at the end of the season, very suitable for some types of viruses that cause disease to develop. Because there is no effective virus Killer in the human body, the only way to deal with viral fever is to prevent and increase children's resistance.

Mothers need to prevent their children from coming into contact with disease sources such as not going to crowded places, not coming into contact with sick people much, washing their children's hands before eating and after going to school or playing out.

Respiratory diseases

Pay attention to keeping your baby warm in the early morning and at night. When taking your baby out, parents need to give him enough warm clothes, a hat, a mask, and even a towel to keep his neck warm. This method helps prevent the baby from getting cold. In fact, even though it is sunny but the wind is still cold at the changing seasons, children will easily get colds and bronchitis if not properly protected.

Wash your baby's nose and mouth with saline water regularly to prevent dirt and respiratory infections.

Absolutely do not arbitrarily use antibiotics when your baby has respiratory tract inflammation because if the disease is caused by a virus, it will not be effective and will increase the risk of drug inactivity.

Dengue fever

Dengue fever usually begins in February - March. It is necessary to prevent the disease by spraying mosquito repellent, expelling bushes, and making curbs while the baby is sleeping, and clearing up stagnant water in the house.

Hand, foot and mouth disease

Up to now, there has been no vaccine to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease. The risk of infection can be reduced by performing good personal hygiene and timely medical care for sick children.

The best way to prevent chickenpox is to get vaccinated and give a single dose of 0.5ml to children aged 1 - 12. Subjects aged 13 and over are vaccinated with 2 doses, 6 - 10 weeks apart.

While epidemics are everywhere, isolation from disease sources is a measure to prevent spread. Do not take your child to places with a source of disease or high risk of infection such as hospitals. Minimize taking children to crowded places such as bus stations and train stations.

When children are infected, parents should take good care of them. Do not use antibiotics to treat viral epidemics because antibiotics do not have the effect of killing viruses.
