Yesterday, I threw away the overnight dish that my mother hid, and I am still in a state of being "blacklisted by the family"...
(Yes, my mom is still angry...) ）
Originally, I wanted to find my mother downstairs to move the rescue soldiers, but as a result! And I heard this:

During the epidemic, she can be said to have run 3 times to the hospital with her child in her arms, and finally looked forward to the rash.
But the "toddler rash" is actually a paper tiger!! Running up and down the hospital 3 times, a bit too much.
When you see children like this

I believe that you are immediately like a long nail on your ass - sitting like a needle felt, the whole person is pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
This is the case in the early stages of acute rash in young children, suddenly going straight to above 38.5 ° C, no unnecessary nonsense!!
Ms. Tong's daughter Bao'er had just turned 13 months old when she was besieged by a sudden high fever of 39.8 ° C.
The family rushed to the hospital, and the doctor judged that the child had a cold and was in urgent need of treatment, and suggested hanging the hanging bottle. But Ms. Tong feels that the child only has a fever and a cold symptom, in this case, it is best to use physical methods such as ice to cool down, and it is not good to eat too much medicine.
Therefore, he only asked the doctor to prescribe "children's fever reducers" and "ice patches" and returned home. But after returning home, the child's fever kept repeating:
At 9 o'clock that night, the baby's body temperature dropped to 36.8 ° C;
The result was 10:30 and burned to 39 ° C;
At 11:03, it dropped back to 37 °C;
It started to burn again at three o'clock in the morning.
So repeatedly, the fever medicine was eaten and regressed, the fever was reduced, and the fever was eaten again. Feeling that I couldn't take the medicine at all, I tossed it all night, and finally ran to the hospital with my husband holding the child again.
Eventually, the child was given an antiviral injection for two days to get rid of the fever. Just when the whole family thought the child was well, an unexpected thing happened again:
On the second day of the fever, a large number of pink rashes appear on the face, neck and chest.
At this time, the doctor combined with the child's previous fever symptoms to judge: what is "toddler rash" is obtained! It turned out that the previous fever was not a common cold, but a pre-symptom of "acute rash in young children".

Not really.
Because there is currently no objective examination to determine early on the urgency of the rash in young children, it can only be based on:
Young age;
Mostly the first fever;
Although the fever is repeated, the mental state/appetite is acceptable, and the vitality is not greatly affected;
Fever is accompanied by only mild respiratory symptoms;
Blood picture suggests viral infection as a preliminary estimate.
Finally, the diagnosis can be confirmed according to the "fever expulsion".
Therefore, in the early stage of the disease, high fever, it is possible to be diagnosed with other conditions, such as: pharyngitis, colds, etc., but this is not a misdiagnosis. As long as there is no abuse of antibiotics and other drugs, the initial diagnosis is not a big problem.
However, during the epidemic period, whether the baby is a young child with a rash fever or other disease fever, HKUST still recommends that parents:

So, what can parents do in the face of children with acute rash and fever in young children?
Acute rash in young children is a self-limiting disease, and it will be good on its own at a certain time!
Most children do not need special treatment, just need to reduce the fever when the child is burning very high and uncomfortable to relieve his discomfort, replenish water, and the only thing that needs to be done after that is:

Step 1: Control body temperature.
During acute fever in young children, the fever will last for about 3-4 days and then suddenly drop, and then the body temperature will return to normal.
Therefore, it is recommended to take antipyretic drugs when the fever is above 38.5 ° C (or when it is obvious that the baby's mental head is not good).
Below 38.5 °C (or when the baby is in good spirits), there is no need to take medicine or physical cooling. Because reducing fever is not the goal, moderate fever is conducive to the body's immunity to attack the virus. We lower the body temperature, just make the child less uncomfortable and relatively comfortable.
Don't: Sweat and wipe alcohol!!
Step 2: Hydrate.
Hydration is not a single finger: drink water!

Feeding, drinking apple juice, drinking rice porridge, drinking soup, etc. are all supplemental liquids, which can avoid dehydration caused by high fever. If your baby can't drink or eat for hours, he needs to see a doctor.
Step 3: Observe closely.
Since it is difficult to determine the diagnosis of acute rash in young children before the "fever recedes", it is necessary to be careful about the possibility of other diseases before the fever improves.
If the baby has irritability, mental head loss during the fever or rash, or has not lost fever for 3 days, it is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

When the baby is sick, the elderly in the family will always say: "You can't blow the wind, you can't take a bath...".
Not really!
01
Moderate bathing and blowing wind is harmless
If she is sick and does not want to lie in bed all the time, it will not affect her to go out for a walk and see the wind. There is no need to cover the three layers inside and three layers outside!
However, because the essence of the acute rash in young children is a viral infection, the short-term immunity will be affected to a certain extent, so it is minimized in the activity of densely populated areas. If the temperature is too low or the wind is too strong, you need to take precautions or reduce going out.
During illness, there is no problem taking a bath. Especially during the rash, bathing can make the baby's body refreshed and comfortable, which is conducive to recovery.
02
Can I still eat seafood and eggs?
Unless your child is allergic to these, there is no taboo.
Children can eat eggs, meat, seafood, fruits and various "hair products" while they are sick...
To date, there is no evidence that any particular food accelerates or delays the healing process of acute viral infections. A rich and balanced nutritional intake is the basis for a child to mobilize his body to fight infection.
In fact, most of the time the child is sick, there is no appetite, then pay attention to the intake of liquids; if the child has an appetite, then congratulations may be cured soon. At this time, there is no need to avoid eating or providing a light diet, and the child can eat whatever he wants.

In fact, after the child is sick, "the parents' stable and chaotic mentality" is absolutely critical!
In the face of acute rash in young children, the most important thing is to "care for fever".
The rest, leave it to time to heal!
