Early spring was flu season, and my children were not spared. Let me share with you some of my experiences after the flu.
At the beginning, grandma picked up the child from kindergarten and found that the child was always crying, I came back after work only to find that the child's forehead was hot, immediately measured the child's temperature of 38.7, immediately fed the doll ibuprofen suspension, half an hour later the fever subsided the doll's spirit will also recover, to the night found that the child had a fever again, I took the child to the nearby maternal and child health hospital to see the emergency, when I arrived at the hospital, I found that there were many children who saw the emergency at night, and by the time we arrived, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. The doctor asked me to take the child to the blood test after understanding the basic situation, fortunately, the results of the blood test came out quickly, and the receiving doctor said to consider the flu, but the oseltamivir granules in the hospital were gone, and some symptomatic drugs could only be prescribed. Later, I found two boxes of oseltamivir pellets from my work colleagues.
After the child's flu, the symptoms of fever lasted intermittently for three days, and after the fever subsided, there were symptoms such as cough and diarrhea, and the child's full recovery was around the 8th day, and I gave the child oseltamivir the day after the child's fever, which lasted for five days. Oseltamivir is a drug with a heavier gastrointestinal reaction, and it is recommended not to use it on an empty stomach.
In general, the symptoms of the flu are fever, cough, diarrhea, and even vomiting. So how do you care for your child?
1 Rest, the child will be very tired after the fever, we need to give the child more rest, which will help the child's physical recovery.
2 Replenish water, your child will sweat a lot after the flu, so you need to give your child enough water.
3 Use antipyretics at the right time, and give antipyretics in time when the child's body temperature exceeds 38.5.
The flu is really uncomfortable, especially for children, we must be a little more patient and encourage children during their illness, believing that the disease will soon pass and the sun will always come!
