This week, Monday is more than 2000 people, these two days a day is about 1800-1900, or more, of which 20% or 30% is influenza B, because our hospital is a flu sentinel monitoring hospital, every week in the monitoring data, flu-like cases, 25 cases may be 5 to 7 cases of positive influenza B.
According to the doctor, the small patients diagnosed with B flow, mostly primary school students, in addition to fever, are generally accompanied by respiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, etc., most small patients fever time will last 3 to 5 days, cough may last for 1 to 2 weeks. For B stream, within 48 hours of the onset of the disease, the earlier the drug is used, the better.
If the child has just developed a fever, other states are fine, such as good appetite, good spirits, and more urination, then I think it can be observed for two or three days. However, if it is the flu, the child's mental state will be relatively poor, that is, there is no strength in the whole body, the high fever will not subside, and the spirit will be weak, so it is still necessary to see it earlier. If the flu is clear, antiviral drugs are used, and the fever may recede the next day.
Spring temperature is changeable, the virus is also more active, at present, in addition to B flow, rotavirus infection cases also have an increasing trend, parents should remind their children to pay attention to hand hygiene, home often ventilated, while appropriate exercise, enhance resistance.
