A positive patient appears in the home,
How to protect during the time of getting along?
……
From physical discomfort to transport quarantine for a few days
The family took a series
It can be called "textbook" self-protection
Intra-family infections were successfully avoided
Let's take a look at the successful experience of Shanghai citizen Xiao Shi:
"Methods and mindsets are important,
The most important thing is to act quickly and not to panic. ”
Mild cough when isolating at home?
Internal isolation again!
"My throat is a little uncomfortable, probably because I have been talking for more than two days of conference calls, and I am tired of talking." On the evening of March 25, a slight abnormality in the body of her husband Xiao Li aroused the vigilance of his wife Xiao Shi. Due to the abnormal nucleic acid on the same floor of the company, Xiao Li has spontaneously done nucleic acid testing and received a notice to start 2+12 home isolation observation. Occasional coughing occurs on the first day of staying home.
Although it was only a casual sentence from her husband, it sounded like a big thing in Xiao Shi, and she had to be alert. She quickly asked her husband to put on an N95 mask and keep his distance from his family. Then Xiao Shi went online to check the symptoms after infection with the new crown virus: there was a foreign body sensation in the throat, as if "there was phlegm spitting out", coughing... Quite a bit in line with the husband's situation!
"The first reaction, of course, is anxiety, and even doubt, it is not so easy to get infected!" However, after stabilizing his mind, Xiao Shi decided to treat the most serious situation and not allow any luck. The couple lives with their in-laws and have babies under the age of one. Xiao Shi has not been vaccinated for postpartum reasons, and she and her child are at higher risk of infection.
After the family members discussed, everyone decided: Xiao Li wore a mask throughout the day and lived in a separate room; on the other hand, the family also wore a mask all the time, in addition to eating and washing, even when sleeping, they did not take it off.
During the day the next day, Xiao Shi began to find ways to purchase Lianhua Qing plague capsules, watermelon cream lozenges, effervescent tablets, alcohol tablets, etc. On the one hand, it helps her husband relieve symptoms, and on the other hand, it improves the immunity of her family. At that time, the medicine had begun to be sought-after, and the decision was very decisive, and the order and delivery were fortunately not affected.
"It's just as important to stop the spread of infected people and to protect others." Xiao Shi recalled the decision at the time and believed that isolating the family during the suspicious period was a particularly important and crucial step.
Look up information to do your homework,
Every measure is meticulous
On the evening of March 26, Shanghai conducted the first antigen self-test for all employees. The fluke did not happen, and Xiao Li's test result was "two bars". After that, Xiao Li's nucleic acid test results showed that he was confirmed to be positive.
Xiao Shi said that perhaps out of her instinct as a mother, she told herself to be calm, to think about more things, and to protect her family. It was also on this day that Xiao Li developed fever symptoms and ate Lianhua Qing plague.
Precautions in the home have been upgraded:
Three meals a day are all delivered to the door by Xiao Li's father, and masks must be changed after delivery;
Xiao Li finished using the toilet, sprayed and disinfected the bathroom by himself and quickly returned to the house, and other family members could not use it within half an hour;
All spaces in the home are disinfected every day...
Every precautionary measure has been made meticulous and strict requirements at home, even to the level of "micro-manipulation". For example, in the preparation of disinfectant, Xiao Shi used drip dew, the bottle body guidance was 20 ml disinfectant and 416 ml of water (1:20), she raised the disinfectant to 22 ml, more concentrated.
Xiao Shi also takes into account the ventilation situation in the home. When her husband lived alone with a cough, she had closed the inner circulation facilities in the home.
In addition, after consulting the residents' committee, they treated the garbage at home as medical waste. "My husband's household garbage is collected one day a day, packed tightly with garbage bags, put into cartons with our garbage bags, sealed with a sealing belt, confirmed that there is no gap, and put at the door for volunteers to recycle."
calm, re-calm,
There are miracles after hard work
Xiao Shi took the senior nutritionist exam during her pregnancy, and according to the relevant knowledge, she arranged for her family to eat at least two eggs and drink two bags of milk every day to ensure adequate protein intake. Each person is also given one effervescent tablet per day to provide the vitamin C needed for the day. "Even for a regular cold, it is a large supplement of protein and vitamin C in the early stages. The same is respiratory disease, I think in terms of nutrition the two are the same. ”
"This kind of strict precautionary measures may be easy to adhere to for a day, and it will require a high degree of compliance and discipline from the family over time." When the rules are said, everyone must do it. Xiao Shi said that his father-in-law himself is also a doctor, and the family has tightened the string of protection very tightly. In the past few days from the discovery of abnormalities, the confirmation of positive nucleic acids to the transfer and isolation, although everyone's emotions have always been tense, fortunately, they have not panicked, but have walked step by step in accordance with scientific methods and attitudes.
On April 9, after more than a week of isolation in the cabin, Xiao Li recovered and turned negative with nucleic acid, and finally returned home. So far, all family members, including the baby, have been tested for antigens and nucleic acids normally.
For this family, although the process of self-protection is only a few days, it is full of "super unknowns". Uncertainty can still lead to tension and even physical discomfort. For example, after learning that her husband had a fever, Xiao Shi had diarrhea throughout the day due to anxiety, and her mother-in-law always felt that her throat was very dry... This mood can deeply affect the body, and even fatigue such as muscle soreness may occur.
Now in hindsight, being dominated by fear won't solve anything. Only by being calm, and calm again, can we think about how to benefit our families.
"We want to share our personal experience with you, not only to provide some effective protection methods, but also to remind everyone not to panic when encountering the same thing." Calling the neighborhood committee and so on can only solve part of the problem, and more things happen within the family, and it is necessary to rely on oneself. "Xiao Shi said that in the process of self-protection, she will consult a lot of scientific knowledge and case experience, which is also a way to adjust the peace of mind." Always waiting for others to solve it will aggravate our own anxiety and isolation, and we must learn endogenous ways of dealing with it. ”
This self-protection is still in progress, Xiao Li still lives alone during the 7-day observation period after returning home, and all contact items are disinfected and dried...
Xiao Shi said that on paper, he finally felt shallow, and after reading so much information, only practical actions could eliminate uncertainties one by one.
