After becoming a mother, the most unsightly thing is the tragedy about children.
Every time I see it, my heart hurts.
Yesterday, the pregnant mother saw a topic on Zhihu, the topic was: Why can a cold kill people?
The answer of a mother with a second child made people cry.
The full text is very long, but at this stage of the outbreak of influenza, every parent should read it carefully.
On the afternoon of March 3, the mother received a call from a kindergarten teacher.
The teacher said that 5-year-old Erbao had a fever of 38.5 degrees.
Putting down the phone, the mother immediately took her daughter to the nearest hospital.
After the examination, the doctor prescribed pediatric soy and a cough suppressant.
Because of the recent outbreak of influenza A, the attentive mother also placed an order for oseltamivir online for the sake of safety, which was delivered the next day.
On the morning of the 4th, Erbao's body temperature rose again.
However, after eating Merrill Lynch, he quickly retreated.
Erbao was in good spirits during the fever and could tell his family interesting stories about kindergarten.
The baby said: The teacher will take us to the field, the seeds I brought are mung beans, I don't know if they can germinate, I also want to plant some potatoes.
Her eyes were full of expectation.
But just a few hours later, the child's body temperature rose rapidly, 41.5 degrees!
Considering that the emergency department of the surrounding hospital has to queue for more than three hours.
The anxious mother decisively decided to take her daughter to Peking University women and children, which are few people and not far from home.
After arriving at the hospital, the child's condition was even worse, with stiff lower limbs and a weird smile on his face.
After examination, the doctor said: This is a febrile convulsion caused by hyperthermia of influenza A.
The doctor said that the child should be arranged for a lumbar puncture examination first, and if there is no problem, it can be relieved, but it is not ruled out that there may be extreme conditions such as cerebral edema in the future.
Mother is still very calm here, she paid the child's hospitalization fee, bought daily necessities, and comforted grandma not to worry, she knows that febrile seizures are also a common phenomenon, and generally nothing happens.
But the sky did not go as expected.
That afternoon, the child was taken to the rescue room, and that night, the doctor diagnosed that the child had caused acute necrotizing encephalopathy due to influenza A and had a high mortality rate.
This news is tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and although the hospital and parents have tried everything to save it, they still have no luck in the end.
On the 6th, the child entered a state of brain death.
The next day, the child was gone.
Grandparents cried and stomped their feet, and my sister cried to tears.
Mom said: Sending away a baby, it can be so simple!
Seeing this, the pregnant mother's tears can no longer be contained, for the mother, for the family, the loss of the child is an unbearable pain, that kind of pain can not be described in words.
After carefully reading this mother's sharing, she actually did really very well.
Timely medical treatment, calm treatment, timely purchase of medicine, careful observation, and then timely delivery of children to the hospital with the lowest queue, she is careful in every link.
The worst small probability event still happened.
As parents, while feeling uncomfortable and distressed, we must be more vigilant.

What should I do in case of febrile seizures? How can I protect my child? Today, the pregnant mother will talk about it in detail.
②
Why does the baby have febrile seizures?
Febrile seizures, also called febrile seizures, are usually caused by infection.
This disease usually occurs between 6 months and 5 years of age, usually begins with a rapid rise in body temperature above 38 ° C, and has a high probability of convulsions within 24 hours of fever.
When the body temperature is higher than 38.5 ° C, brain cells are prone to active phenomena and abnormal discharge, which leads to the occurrence of febrile seizures.
At present, the pathogenesis of convulsions is not clear, and it is generally believed to be related to immature nervous system development and family inheritance.
Clinically, there are two types of febrile seizures:
(1) Simple febrile convulsions
●Common in children between six months and five years of age.
●A single episode should not exceed 15 minutes.
●The child's nervous system is healthy and there are no neurologic abnormalities.
●Fever is not caused by meningitis, encephalitis, or any other disease that affects the brain.
●Seizures can be described as generalized clonic seizures or generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
Simple febrile seizures do not cause brain damage, intellectual disability, or learning disability, and does not mean that the child has a more serious underlying condition.
(2) Complex febrile seizures
●Age, pre-illness neurologic status, and fever are the same as in simple febrile seizures.
●Such episodes are either localized, prolonged (ie, > 15 minutes), or multiple.
●It is caused by pathological problems in the nervous system.
Usually what we call febrile seizures is a simple type of febrile seizures.
The most typical symptoms of febrile seizures are: fever, convulsions, some will have eyes turned up, hands and feet stiff twitching, and clenched teeth, vomiting or foaming at the mouth and other manifestations, convulsions are generally accompanied by loss of consciousness, call no response, after the end of the convulsions consciousness quickly returns to normal.
For specific performance, please take a look at the following video:
When a child suddenly has a febrile seizure, it is really scary, but if you understand its symptoms and coping, it can help the baby get through it smoothly.
③
Most febrile seizures do not harm the baby
It will not burn out the brains either!
Febrile seizures are usually caused by high fever, so many parents worry that high fever and convulsions will harm the baby.
To calm the hearts of moms first, most febrile seizures do not cause brain damage, neurological problems, paralysis, intellectual disability or death.
Therefore, when encountering a child's febrile seizures, you must remain calm, don't panic, and deal with it indiscriminately.
Because the wrong way to deal with it is more terrible, the following methods should never be done during the child's convulsions:
It is forbidden to pry the child's mouth!
It is forbidden to put anything in the child's mouth!
No throat picking!
(1) It is forbidden to pick the throat. Forcibly pry open the mouth of the convulsive baby, light damage, heavy obstruction of the child's respiratory tract, resulting in suffocation, there is a baby in Shandong, in the convulsions because the mother used a spoon to pry open the child's teeth, the child's front teeth were turned out.
(2) It is forbidden to pinch people. Pinching is not effective for febrile seizures, but can damage the baby's delicate skin.
(3) It is forbidden to stuff things into the mouth. What is put in the mouth can block a child's airway and cause suffocation, as can an adult's fingers.
(4) Do not pick up the child. Do not hold your child tightly during febrile seizures, as this may worsen your child's hypoxia.
(5) Don't feed your child anything. Do not give your child water or medicine during convulsions, in which case the child can easily choke and cause suffocation.
Important reminder: Using fingers, towels, chopsticks, and spoons to stuff children into children's mouths as protection, this is not protection, it will only make children more dangerous.
When the child's teeth are closed, parents simply cannot use a safe external force to pry open the teeth, and excessive force can easily cause secondary injury.
In addition, the child's teeth are clenched during convulsive seizures, and the chance of biting to the tip of the tongue is very small, even if it is a child, the bite force is very strong when the teeth are closed, and the result of forcibly prying open the teeth is either the parent is bitten, or the child's mouth is injured.
Some parents want to use their hands or even hands and feet to press their children during their children's convulsions, eventually causing their children to fracture.
Stop using these wrong methods, don't bring secondary harm to your child.
④
The baby develops febrile seizures
The most important thing parents should do - these are the things!
If your child has a convulsion and is too late to go to the hospital, don't panic! The calmer the child, the safer.
Parents can record the febrile seizure with a mobile phone videotap, which lasts for 5 minutes and needs to make an emergency call.
After 5 minutes, it is also necessary to see a doctor afterwards for a doctor to check to rule out serious conditions.
During the child's convulsions, parents need to do the following:
(1) Keep the environment safe and stable
Let your child lie flat, maintain a comfortable position, do not bind him, tilt your baby's head to one side, and raise your chin to prevent your baby from suffocation.
Pay attention to environmental safety, remove dangerous objects around the baby, as long as the environment is safe, try not to move the baby.
(2) Clean up foreign bodies in your baby's mouth
If your child has anything in his mouth during a seizure, be sure to remove it to prevent choking, and do not put anything in your child's mouth during a seizure to make sure your child can breathe normally.
(3) Untie the clothes to help the baby dissipate heat
Loosen the child's clothing, the child with a high fever needs to dissipate heat.
(4) Stay calm and calm your child
Try to stay calm, this will help to calm the child and tell the child that the mom/dad is there and that the discomfort will pass soon.
(5) Record the time and symptoms of convulsions
Determine the timing of the episode and pay close attention to your child's behavior during the period so that they can be described to the doctor when you see your doctor.
Note: If the child's symptoms have not alleviated after more than 5 minutes, or if there is severe vomiting, the primary disease is aggravated, and consciousness cannot be restored after the convulsions stop, consider the baby's condition to be more serious, and call 120 immediately.
Finally, parents should be reminded that if their child has had a seizure in the past and has discussed with the doctor how to care for the child during the seizure, be sure to follow the doctor's instructions.
If you have an infection during home care or if symptoms become more severe or frequent, see your doctor right away.
The prognosis for febrile seizures is generally good, and preliminary studies suggest that children with febrile seizures have a slightly increased chance of developing epilepsy, about 2%.
About 2 to 10 per cent of children before the age of five develop thermal cramps, and the proportion of boys is higher than that of girls.
Patients who get a febrile seizure for the first time have a 15-70% chance of relapse.
If the child relapses, pay attention to take corresponding countermeasures, control the temperature and send to the hospital in time.
Finally, pregnant mothers emphasize:
● If the convulsions last for more than 5 minutes, call 120 immediately!
●If the convulsions are short, stop quickly, and the child does not show any other abnormalities, he can be sent to the hospital on his own!
Regarding the coping and treatment of febrile convulsions, pregnant mothers hope that each parent can master it in detail, hope not to use it, but must master!
Finally, may such tragedies not happen again!
May our children be safe, healthy and happy!
