The early spring climate is cold and the air is dry, which is the season of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases, and children are more likely to be recruited because of their weak physique and poor resistance. Parents must not underestimate the flu, it will not only make children show systemic symptoms such as chills and high fever, but also may cause complications such as pneumonia, viral myocarditis and nervous system infections, which is a respiratory infectious disease that seriously endangers physical health.
On weekdays, some parents see children runny nose, cough and other symptoms, generally will first think that it is the common cold, in fact, the pathogens that cause the common cold and influenza are different, and the symptoms they show are also very different, let's first understand the difference between the common cold and influenza!
01 Common cold
A class of disorders characterized by sneezing, sore throat, cough, low-grade fever, headache, and malaise, usually with mild symptoms and most of which recover on their own.
02 Influenza
Referred to as influenza, it is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses, and it is also a highly contagious and fast-spreading disease.
So, in the high flu season, how should parents take care of their children's health? What specific measures will kindergartens take in a targeted manner? Let's take a look!
Families Do a good job of daily prevention
Influenza is mainly transmitted through airborne, droplet and contact. In daily life, in order to better protect the health of children and prevent influenza invasion, parents should pay attention to:
1. Let the child wash their hands frequently at home, drink more water, and maintain a good and regular work and rest to enhance resistance. 2. As far as possible, get the flu vaccine for prevention, at the same time, do a good job in the child's personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, wash the bedding frequently, and dry the clothes frequently. Pay attention to temperature changes and increase or decrease clothes, and advocate wearing a mask for your baby when you go out to avoid feeling the wind and cold. 3. If someone has a cold at home, a mask should be worn for the patient and contact with the child should be minimized to prevent cross infection.
4. Influenza pathogens are mainly transmitted through droplets of people's respiratory secretions, occluded rooms isolate cold winds, but let the density of bacteria and viruses rise, which will greatly increase the probability of pathogen infection, therefore, when the air quality is up to standard, parents should open more windows for ventilation to reduce indoor bacteria and virus density. Parents should also avoid taking their children to crowded places with dirty air. 5. In the case of children's physical comfort, insist on sending children into the kindergarten, let children participate in kindergarten morning exercises, outdoor games, sports meetings and other activities, ultraviolet rays and infrared rays in the sun, promote the growth and development of babies, can promote calcium and phosphorus absorption, enhance immunity. In the spring, it is advisable to use 10 to 11 a.m. to strengthen their bodies and enhance their immunity through appropriate exercise and game activities.
Children are guaranteed rest to reduce consumption
Q: What should parents do if a child has already shown flu symptoms? 1. If the child has flu symptoms, he should rest fully, drink more water, and eat a light and digestible diet that is rich in nutrition. 2. If the child's body temperature does not improve for 48 hours, especially if there is an underlying disease such as cardiopulmonary brain disease, immunodeficiency, anemia, malnutrition, accompanied by asthma and other airway hyperreactive diseases, the child should see the doctor in time, actively treat, and wear a mask to prevent cross-infection when going to the hospital.
3. Avoid sending children to kindergarten. In daily life, teach children to cover their mouth and nose with a handkerchief or tissue when coughing or sneezing, and try to avoid covering the mouth and nose directly with their hands and causing their hands to be contaminated with respiratory secretions. 4. Children with fever should pay attention to adequate rest at home to reduce physical exertion, and the younger the child, the more they need to rest.
Kindergartens strengthen disease prevention and control
Please rest assured that all kindergartens will strictly implement prevention and control management in order to cope with the influenza season. 1. Once a fever or influenza-like case is found, wear a mask and implement separate isolation for the first time, contact the parents of the child in time, take the child to seek medical treatment or go home to rest, and avoid participating in group activities and entering public places. 2. During the daily management of the kindergarten, strengthen the morning and afternoon inspection and handwashing system, the registration system for absence due to illness, timely register and report newly discovered cases, and monitor the influenza situation in kindergartens at any time.
3. Maintain air circulation in public places such as activity rooms, restaurants, corridors, etc., clean regularly, and keep the environment clean. 4. Urge young children to do personal hygiene, cover their mouths and noses with tissues or sleeves when coughing and sneezing, and teachers will also wear masks when they contact children. 5. Health care doctors reasonably customize scientific recipes, pay attention to the balanced combination of staple foods, meat, fruits, vegetables and other food nutrition, and supplement the nutrition needed by children's bodies.
Orderly development
"Spring School Start - Epidemic Prevention and Control Simulation Exercise"
In order to further enhance the awareness of epidemic prevention and control among all teachers and staff, improve the skills of kindergarten teachers and staff in facing campus emergency response, timely prevent and effectively deal with the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and ensure the health and life safety of teachers and children. Ji Xiaoye warmly suggested that all campuses carry out a simulation exercise on the prevention and control of the epidemic in the spring. The morning inspection hand elimination, vomit emergency disposal, child isolation, and campus disinfection processes will be fully implemented, and the eaves of the children will be built more efficiently and professionally.
