Newborns themselves are more fragile and need the careful care of parents. A little movement in the baby may trigger the parents' anxious nerves, worrying about whether something is wrong. Especially now that the epidemic situation is frequent in many places, everyone has mixed feelings about going to the hospital.
Today we are going to talk about a common phenomenon in newborns: spitting bubbles. This is a phenomenon that looks "cute", but after a long time, parents may wonder - is it normal for my baby to stay like this?
Is the baby spitting bubbles pneumonia?
Spitting bubbles is a normal physiological manifestation in most cases.
Newborn babies are not mature in all aspects of the body, such as their mouth is relatively shallow, and doing swallowing or closing their lips may not be coordinated. If there is too much saliva in the mouth, or if there is saliva and milk after feeding, there is saliva and milk that has not had time to swallow completely, the phenomenon of spitting bubbles will occur. If most of the spitting bubbles occurs when the baby is finishing milk and playing, it is generally normal.
However, parents need to pay attention to the fact that if the baby has more spit bubbles, accompanied by less feeding, crying, drowsiness, and even fever, they need to be vigilant against respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia. At this time, it is still recommended that parents take their babies to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the best period of treatment.
After all, many infants and young children have a very fast course of illness, and if they develop into aggressive diseases, such as meningitis, bacteremia, etc., they may cause serious sequelae and even endanger life.
Creating a healthy environment is everyone's responsibility!
As the saying goes: "a hundred grass sprouts, a hundred diseases occur", the current is the late spring and early summer when the season changes, this period of immunity is relatively poor baby is easy to be "targeted" by germs, suffering from pneumonia, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases. Among them, the common pathogenic bacteria that cause pneumonia, pneumococcus, requires high vigilance.
As early as 2017, the World Health Organization listed "pneumococcal diseases" as a disease that "requires a very high priority vaccine to prevent."
Infants and young children under the age of 5 years are often targeted by pneumococcal bacteria because their immune function is not yet fully developed. Vaccination can support the baby with an effective "protective shield", greatly reducing the risk of pneumococcal disease and is the most cost-effective preventive measure. The latest infant and young child pneumonia vaccine on the market is the world's first dual-carrier 13-valent pneumonia vaccine.
In addition to vaccination, it is also necessary to develop good living habits and do a good job of daily prevention. If the mother herself is relatively healthy, advocate breastfeeding, the baby's immunity is better; indoors should open the window frequently to maintain air circulation; try to go to crowded places as little as possible, and do a good job of personal protection when going out.
What are the advantages of the dual-carrier 13-valent pneumonia vaccine?
The window period is long
This is a vaccine independently developed and produced by domestic enterprises, which greatly expands the window period for vaccination compared with similar vaccines of imported brands, and infants and young children can be vaccinated from 6 weeks old to 5 years old (before 6 years of age).
Technologically advanced
The full name of this vaccine is "bicarrier 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (tetanus toxoid/diphtheria toxoid)".
It effectively avoids the inhibitory effect of the polysaccharide immune response on the competition of the single carrier protein of other 13-valent pneumonia vaccines for helper T cells, which may affect the immunoprotective effect of the vaccine. The combination of bicarriers and polysaccharide proteins can make vaccines more effective in immunity, which is a milestone in technology.
Good value for money
In terms of price, the newly listed domestic dual-carrier 13-valent pneumonia vaccine is less than 500 yuan per dose (the specific price is subject to the local vaccination clinic), which is more than 30% cheaper than the imported vaccine, and the supply is sufficient, so that more families in China can fight and play.
Having said all this, has your baby been vaccinated against 13-valent pneumonia? Early vaccination early benefit yo!
