After consulting the authoritative news of major officials
Let's answer them one by one today.
Are the symptoms of Eryang getting lighter? Will there be a massive outbreak?
Front-line epidemic prevention and control experts are clear that the possibility of a large-scale epidemic in the country in the short term is small.
People in Eryang on social platforms said that their symptoms were indeed milder than the first time.
Sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, muscle aches, and headaches are all typical manifestations, of which sore throat is the first symptom.
Hu Bijie, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said, "According to clinical observations, the population with secondary infection is generally milder than the symptoms of the first infection, mainly manifested as fever and sore throat. ”
Li Tongzeng, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Infectious Diseases of Beijing You'an Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, also said, "In principle, the symptoms of 'Eryang' will be milder, and the symptoms of 'Eryang' will be milder, and the upper respiratory tract infection, fever, cough, sore throat, etc., will be normal after about 3 days." ”
From the answers of social platforms and front-line medical staff, the symptoms of Eryang are indeed mild.
However, people with weak physique, especially children and the elderly, are still more likely to be seriously ill, so be careful.
Treatment of Eryang
It is still mainly to reduce hyperthermia and relieve symptoms symptomatically;
Pay attention to drinking plenty of water and resting more;
Increase the proportion of high-quality protein in food to enhance immunity;
The fever-reducing drugs in the previous home, as long as they have not expired, can still continue to "shine and heat";
The symptoms are severe and persistent, and you need to go to the hospital for treatment.
The number of "Eryang" has increased, prepare a small medicine box, don't panic!
After a round, most people have a little experience, in addition to the new crown, common influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus... The core of nursing is symptomatic medicine, and the following small medicine box can basically cope with the above epidemic diseases.
1. Anti-fever and painkiller drugs
It is recommended to prepare two antipyretics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. (The two cannot be taken at the same time/alternately, it is recommended to choose only one of them)
If there are children at home, antipyretic medicine is simply a must-have! Children use fever/painkillers, it is recommended to use drops or suspension, but it should be noted that after taking it, the dropper may be contaminated or opened for too long to cause mildew. It is recommended that children buy small bottles of fever reducers, because even if the expiration date has not passed, it is recommended not to use it if it has been opened for too long or if the texture has changed.
Drug cooling can also assist physical cooling. It is recommended to wipe your child's neck, armpits, thighs and other areas with warm water.
2. Drugs to relieve nasal congestion
Whether it's a cold or rhinitis, supplemental medications can be used to help relieve nasal congestion.
Infants under 6 months old can use injection-grade "normal saline", that is, 0.9% sodium chloride, suck a little with a small dropper, and drip into the baby's nasal cavity, which can play a role in moisturizing the nasal cavity.
For infants and young children over 6 months, "physiological seawater nasal spray for children" is usually recommended.
3. Diarrhea
If there are children at home, in addition to the usual antipyretic medicine, diarrhea medicine must also be prepared, after all, children's digestive function is not as good as adults, diarrhea is more common.
However, diarrhea is actually a self-protection mechanism of the intestine, we don't need to panic too much, usually, at the beginning of diarrhea, the focus of treatment is not to stop diarrhea, but to prevent dehydration, so the correct response should be: reasonable hydration, appropriate diet; After that, it is best to use antidiarrheal drugs (such as montmorillonite powder, etc.) under the guidance of a doctor.
How to prevent eryang?
1. Get vaccinated
Everyone has been closed for three years, you must travel freely this year, and those who have not completed the vaccination can consider continuing to be vaccinated.
2. Wear a mask
The main modes of transmission such as the new crown are secretions and droplets from coughing, sneezing. Try not to go to crowded, crowded and bad air public places in the near future.
If you have to go, it is best to wear a mask well.
3. Maintain good hygiene habits
Maintaining good respiratory hygiene habits is an important means to prevent respiratory infectious diseases.
When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with tissues, towels, etc.; Pay attention to use running water to wash your baby's hands in time, whether after going to the toilet or before eating, and try to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands.
May each of us be "beautiful" and "joyful", and no longer "yang yang yang"!
