The mothers in the editorial department have recently received a notice from the teacher about the flu, have you also received it?
A stream can be said to be the latest top stream, and the major platforms are brushing the screen
And the latest news says that influenza A can cause white lungs!
According to @Guois Through Train: Hu Yang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, posted on Weibo that both streams A and B viruses can cause influenza virus pneumonia. People who are immunocompromised, older, or have severe underlying medical conditions are more likely to contract pneumonia.
In addition, some time ago, norovirus is also very powerful, and there are many babies around us...
Originally, the alternation of winter and spring is when children are prone to illness, plus these two types of infectious diseases, parents are really worried about it!
But we don't have to panic, do a good job of scientific response and prevention, and we can say byebye~
Today we will grasp the key points, how to identify, how to distinguish influenza A and Noro, how to protect, how to deal with the flu, all help you sort it out~
Influenza (influenza for short) is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses.
Influenza is divided into 4 types: A, B, C, and D, and human influenza is mainly caused by influenza A virus and influenza B virus.
So what is the difference between stream A and stream B?
In fact, influenza A and B strains are different, but the symptoms are similar, so it is difficult to distinguish the two by signs, and it is necessary to pass the hospital influenza A/B virus antigen test, and type A is more infectious than stream B, and the symptoms are generally more serious.
When influenza occurs, children may have typical manifestations such as high fever (sudden fever above 39 °C), headache, muscle aches, sore throat, and a few flu may also be accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). In addition, the most important thing is whether the child has a history of exposure to influenza patients.
Are the recent waves of fever symptoms a cold, flu A or norovirus? So how to distinguish these three? Let's get to the point quickly!
In daily life, we must first reduce cross-infection!
01Wear a mask:
Just mentioned that the flu virus is a respiratory virus, and like the new crown, droplet transmission such as sneezing and coughing is its main way of infection, so be sure to wear a mask!
02Wash your hands frequently:
Handwashing is the best prevention! Not only should the children wash their hands frequently, but also the family members should wash them together.

03Disinfection:
Indirect contact through mucous membranes such as the mouth, nose, eyes, etc., or contact with contaminated objects can also lead to the spread of the virus, so it is necessary to disinfect the things that children often touch, and at the same time often open windows to ventilate the home.
Not only children, but also adults should do the above three points! Parents are often carriers of the virus, and adults with low immunity can also be infected!
Vaccination is the most economical and effective means of preventing influenza A!
However, it takes some time for the vaccine to take effect, and getting vaccinated now may not achieve immediate preventive results.
Everyone also asked a lot of questions about the flu vaccine in the background, and we also sorted it out, I hope our answer will be helpful to you~
Vaccination ideas:
How to choose vaccines for different age groups:
Approximate duration of the vaccine:
- After vaccination or infection, the number of antibodies decreases over time. 6-8 months after receiving the inactivated influenza vaccine, the number of antibodies begins to gradually decrease, and the protective effect will also decrease, and about a year after vaccination, the number of antibodies is generally not enough to resist the virus attack. Therefore, it is recommended that the annual vaccination ≠ must be separated by 12 months, and it is basically greater than half a year before it can be vaccinated again.
Can the flu vaccine be given with other vaccines?
• Covid vaccine
The latest guidelines suggest that for adults aged ≥ 18, inactivated influenza vaccine and new crown vaccine can be used at the same time.
Children are advised to have a 14-day interval between flu vaccination (including nasal sprays and injections) and COVID vaccination >.
• Non-COVID vaccines
The 3-valent/4-valent inactivated influenza vaccine (injection) can be given at the same time as other [inactivated vaccines] and [live attenuated vaccines].
3 Live attenuated vaccines (nasal sprays) and other [live attenuated vaccines] need to be > 28 days apart.
Attach common inactivated vaccines and live attenuated vaccines, you can take a seat
Influenza A is a self-limiting disease, and children with good immunity can basically heal themselves in a week, and home care can be done well.
In addition, doctors advise patients not to self-take oseltamivir and seek medical attention immediately when the child has the following conditions, rather than online treatment by himself!
01Wash your hands frequently
Wash your hands at all times! Wash carefully with hand sanitizer, this is the most cost-effective way to prevent disease!
Those who forget the seven-step handwashing method can pull to the beginning of the article to deepen the impression!
02 More ventilation
The room is frequently ventilated and the windows are opened for no less than 20 minutes at a time.
03Don't let your guard down
The baby's body temperature returns to normal, does not mean that the course of the disease is over, and children who go to school should not rush to resume school (body temperature returns to normal, and other flu-like symptoms can only resume school after 48 hours have disappeared), wash hands frequently, ventilate more or continue to do it!
Usually, the most contagious and re-aggravated after the superficial symptoms have ended.
04Correct guidance for parents
The correct guidance of adults is really important.
Try to change the bad habit of touching the baby and eating hands again, tell them that it is unhygienic, and cultivate the good habit of washing hands.
If you are an older child, you can tell your child more about the disease, so that the baby's cooperation in treating the disease will be much improved, and parents will be more worry-free.
At last! I wish all babies a smooth and healthy passage of this period of high incidence and beauty to welcome the arrival of spring!
