Mycoplasma pneumonia
Mycoplasma pneumonia mainly occurs in children aged 6 months to 5 years, and some children have serious clinical manifestations and are one of the main causes of death and disability in infants and young children. Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is mainly manifested as fever and cough, most patients have paroxysmal dry cough in the early stage of the disease, a small number of patients have sputum sticky sputum, occasional sputum with blood, cough gradually aggravated, the course of the disease is more than 2 weeks; the symptoms of older children are obvious, but the lung rales appear late, with the characteristics of "heavy symptoms and light signs". Therefore, if there is a clinical suspicion of mycoplasma pneumonia, a chest x-ray should be performed in time.
Norovirus
From November to April of the following year, it is the peak of the norovirus epidemic, which can be transmitted through hands, mouth, stool and even water foam, which can cause acute gastroenteritis. People of all ages are susceptible to norovirus, especially children, the elderly and the immunocompromised. The main symptoms of norovirus infection are nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., with an average symptom duration of 2 to 3 days, often referred to as "winter vomiting disease".
So how can we prevent these diseases?
Food processing and preparation must meet the requirements of the "Five Points of Food Safety", that is, keeping food and hands clean; raw food and cooked food separately; processed foods must be thoroughly cooked; cooked food and food materials must be kept at a safe temperature (below 5 °C or above 60 °C), and ensure the safety of water and food raw materials.
Develop a good habit of washing hands with soap before and after meals, while strengthening physical exercise, balancing diet, improving physical resistance, if there are classmates vomiting, be sure to leave the scene as soon as possible under the guidance of the teacher to reduce the possibility of norovirus infection. If your baby has symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, he should be isolated at home and should not take the illness to school.
When the weather is good, you should take your children to outdoor activities, start basking in the sun around half a year old, and the time should be gradual; the activity content should be formulated according to the age of the child to enhance the child's immunity. In daily life, you should pay attention to indoor air circulation, try not to contact with infected children, some adults are recessive carriers, and hygiene should also be paid attention to before touching or kissing children.
Indoor air should also be ventilated with windows open in the morning and evening to stay cool. Wash your hands with the right method of washing your hands and don't neglect exposed areas such as gargling, cleaning your nose, eyes, etc., to reduce the risk of infection.
Some parents love their children and often wear a lot of clothes for them, in fact, children are "afraid of heat and not afraid of cold"; children's clothes should not be worn more than their parents' clothes, which will cause children to sweat.
