Every time they get a hand or a foot, the whole family is like a robbery:
The baby's mouth hurts and can't eat, and it is uncomfortable to sleep unsteadily; Bao's parents are distressed and hate that they can't bear it for the baby.

And at this time of year, kindergartens are also particularly stressful.
There is no way, only to blame the hand- foot-mouth infection too quickly: as long as there is a baby, a class is estimated to have to be suspended!
If you find that your child has the following symptoms, remember to ask the teacher for leave in time, which usually takes about two weeks.
If there are 2 or 3 babies at home, they should also do a good job of isolation protection.
After the infection of the hand, foot and mouth, the baby will have a fever, the palms and feet will erupt, and the tongue, gums and the inside of the cheeks will also blister.
Sometimes, herpes can also appear in your baby's throat and perianal skin.
At present, there is no specific drug, what Bao Parents can do is to give the baby symptomatic care at home, pay attention to observation:
The University of Science and Technology also reminds one point: some parents see more rashes in their babies and are worried about the seriousness of the disease.
In fact, the number of rashes of the baby has nothing to do with the severity of the disease, and the parents do not have to be overly nervous.
But if you have the following symptoms, don't stay at home, go directly to the hospital to avoid serious complications:
The hands, feet and mouth are divided into ordinary types and heavy, most children get ordinary types of hands, feet and mouths, which can heal themselves within a week, reduce fever, skin rash, and have a good mental state.
There are also bao parents always ask Keda: Mingming is usually very hygienic, and there is no infection in the kindergarten, why do you still get it?
Maybe you're ignoring that!
Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is not only transmitted through respiratory droplets, but also through close contact.
Hands, toys, tableware, towels, clothing, water, and food that have been infected with germs can also be infected.
The following 2 places provide a "hotbed" for the spread of the virus, but they are often ignored by parents!
1. "Walking Baby Resort" - Ocean Ball Pool
Almost no baby can refuse the attraction of the ocean ball pool and go in and play all day.
However, CCTV has exposed before: there are many health hazards in marine ball pools, especially hand-foot-and-mouth disease infection.
When the baby is playing, it is always inevitable to have a "close contact" with the ocean ball.
Sliding down the slide and "burying" the whole person into the ocean ball; or picking up the ocean ball and nibbling on it, can't stop it, all of which greatly increase the risk of infection.
When the reporter secretly visited, the merchant said that it was impossible to clean and disinfect each ocean ball every day, but it would be sprayed with disinfectant preparations in the morning and evening.
There are also some unscrupulous merchants who rarely do cleaning, the surface looks very good, and the bottom of the ocean ball is full of garbage.
Of course, it is not very realistic to not let the child go at all.
If you must go, try to do the following:
2, "coaxing baby artifact" - shake the car
A few dollars can be exchanged for purity, and shaking a car is probably the only choice for most parents.
It can be seen everywhere in the community, in front of the supermarket, in the shopping mall or in the square, and it can be found in the places where the baby loves to go.
But you know what? These rockers are rarely disinfected and cleaned, and some are not even cleaned.
If a baby with a hand, foot, and mouth has sat, the virus remains on the rocker, causing cross-infection.
Shaking the car is also unavoidable, if the baby wants to play, try to do this:
In addition to staying away from these 2 high-risk places, parents should also keep the following prevention knowledge in mind!
There are many viruses that cause hands, feet and mouths, among which EV71 virus is the most likely to cause severe disease.
It accounts for 74% of severe cases of hand, foot and mouth and 94% of deaths, and the proportion is quite high.
The EV71 vaccine, which we often call the hand-foot-mouth vaccine, can effectively prevent it.
Within 2 years of vaccination, the protection rate against the EV71 virus is as high as 98%.
Some parents often ask: Will you still get sick after vaccination?
It is possible because the hand-foot-and-mouth vaccine only protects against the EV71 virus, and other viruses will still be infected.
In addition, the hand, foot and mouth may also recur, also because of the variety of viruses that cause the hand, foot and mouth.
However, HKUST still recommends vaccination, since it can prevent severe hand, foot and mouth disease, we do not need to let the baby take risks.
In addition to vaccination, the protection of high incidence can not be less, especially for babies who have had hands, feet and mouths:
Although hand-foot-and-mouth disease is not so terrible, it cannot be taken lightly, because children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease may have myocarditis, pulmonary edema, meningoencephalitis and so on.
Don't let a momentary carelessness lead to serious consequences, after all, no one can afford to gamble!
Well, today's sharing is over ~ quickly forward it to family and friends!
