The harm of influenza A is serious, and parents are worried
As the weather warms up, it's supposed to be a good time for kids to get out and play. However, with the recent outbreak of influenza A, many parents are afraid to take their children out for fear that they will be infected by the virus.
Their fears are indeed justified - this wave of influenza is raging, and many children have already been "hit".
Influenza A is a disease that is similar to the common cold on the surface, but the actual harm is far beyond imagination. It can cause symptoms such as persistent high fever, severe cough, runny nose, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
There are several children in this community who are usually lively and cheerful, and they reacted very strongly after being infected with influenza A, and their whole expressions were withered and lifeless.
Experts point out that influenza A virus can quickly invade children's bodies, leading to a rapid decline in immunity. If not handled properly, the condition is likely to worsen. Therefore, parents should take immediate action as soon as their child is infected.
We should not take it lightly, fully understand the harm of influenza A and protect the health of children.
This wave is really menacing, and it has already caused great harm to many families. As parents, we must always be vigilant to keep our children safe.
Once your child is infected, you need to stay calm and take effective measures as soon as possible to help your child recover as soon as possible.
People who have come to share their experience of taking care
My daughter Xiaofang did not escape the attack of influenza A, she had a fever and cough more than a week ago, and was tested for influenza A virus. I was very anxious, and this lively and cheerful child instantly became coughing, pale, and completely lost his usual vitality.
What gave me even more headache was that Xiaofang's appetite was greatly reduced, and she basically refused to eat. In the past, she could easily solve a big bowl of rice, but now when she sees food, she shakes her head in disgust, and it is useless for me to coax or tease.
Now I am even more anxious, without enough nutritional supplements, how can Xiaofang's body fight the virus? If the lack of appetite continues, her condition will only worsen, and the speed of recovery will be seriously slowed down.
So as a "person who has come over", I decided to start by adjusting my diet, trying to increase Xiaofang's appetite and increase the various nutrients she needs. This wave of the virus is menacing, and I understand that it is not enough to rely on external protection alone, but also to stimulate the self-healing power in the child's body.
During this time, I accompanied the nurse day and night, taking care of the sick Xiaofang while studying various food countermeasures. We may not be able to completely block the virus invasion, but we can help Xiaofang recover faster and healthier through food.
After repeated experiments and comparisons, I have summarized some effective "diet tips", hoping to give more parents some reference.
Dietary measures
(1) Add these three types of food
1) High-protein foods
After comparison, I found that under the invasion of influenza A virus, adding high-protein foods to Xiaofang can play a very positive role. Protein not only provides physical strength, but also strengthens the body's immunity, helps children cope with the damage of the virus, and promotes the recovery of various body functions.
I've tried adding more high-protein ingredients such as eggs, lean meats, and cheese to her meals, and making delicious dishes to whet her appetite. For example, make a golden and crispy egg roll with egg mixture, and serve it with fresh vegetables; Mix the minced meat into the fluffy cheesecake; Add low-sugar protein powder to the milk shake, etc.
These Xiaofang will eat some, and obviously feel that their physical strength has increased, and their spirits have improved a lot.
2) Vitamin-rich foods
Nail flu can cause a sore throat and affect appetite. For this reason, I asked Xiaofang to eat more colorful vegetables and fruits, because these foods are rich in various vitamins, which can increase appetite and supplement important nutrients.
Vitamins are also important for fighting influenza A virus. I will also make it into flakes or powders and hide them in the food for Xiaofang to eat more. Adequate vitamins can strengthen the body's immunity and help children heal sooner.
3) Easily digestible food
Due to the decline in digestive function due to illness, I also try to prepare some easily digestible food for Xiaofang to help her absorb. For example, a soft paste made with rice, pumpkin, and milk in a wall breaker, and some red dates are added to enhance freshness.
I also make some liquid food, such as porridge, paste, soup, etc., which are not only soft and easy to eat, but also can supplement a certain amount of calories. Sometimes I stir soy milk and oatmeal into a milkshake, or cook some sticky pumpkin soup, which is nutritious and easy to digest.
This is easier for Xiaofang to absorb than large pieces of food.
In addition, I also pay attention to the cooking method of food, and use more gentle methods such as steaming and boiling to reduce frying and roasting, so that the food is softer and more flavorful, and also reduces Xiaofang's digestive burden.
Proper cooking can also help children recover their appetite and digestive function as soon as possible.
(2) Reduce these three types of food
1) Spicy food
I explicitly forbade Xiaofang to eat spicy food during her illness. The reason is simple, this type of food is too irritating and will aggravate her throat discomfort. Even if Xiaofang wants to eat it appetizingly, I will persuade her to be patient and eat stimulating foods such as chili peppers when she is cured.
During illness, it is important to protect your throat so that it recovers as soon as possible. Avoid any irritating foods, even small slices of chili peppers or Wasabi, which can cause intense discomfort.
I had to eat a gentle diet to help Xiaofang recover.
2) Greasy foods
During illness, it is not advisable to eat too much greasy and fishy food. This will increase the burden on Xiaofang's stomach and affect the digestion and absorption of food. I try to prepare light food for Xiaofang and reduce the intake of oils and animal fats.
Grandma was worried that Xiaofang would not get enough nutrition, so she always wanted to make some fatty fish to replenish her strength. I appreciate it, but recommend switching to lean meat or plant-based protein.
Fatty foods are not only difficult to digest but may also irritate diarrhea. Light food is more beneficial to Xiaofang who is sick.
3) Indigestible foods
Last but not least, I also try to reduce Xiaofang's consumption of some foods that are difficult to digest, such as high-sugar and high-starch dim sum, as well as glutinous rice and rice dumplings. Although this kind of food is rich in nutrients, it is slow to digest and absorb, which will increase the burden on Xiaofang's stomach.
Her digestive function was already weak during her illness, so I had to control her diet, cut back on indigestible foods, and eat more easily absorbed nutrients. Although Xiaofang wanted to eat glutinous rice cakes for a while, I still took a firm stand and changed her to more convenient food, gradually helping her recover her appetite and digestive function.
Caring for a child requires patience
1) Grandma's intentions
My grandmother was very worried about Xiaofang and always tried to get her to take more supplements, and I was very grateful for her hard work. But I still have to dissuade my grandmother from letting Xiaofang eat too much meat tonic soup, and these foods should not be excessively used during illness.
I understand that my grandmother is in a hurry for a while, hoping to enhance Xiaofang's physical strength through tonic soup. But I have to persuade my grandmother according to Xiaofang's actual situation that when she is sick, she must pay attention to the suitability of her diet and cannot blindly supplement it.
I would patiently explain the reason to my grandmother until she understood what I meant.
2) Persuade the child
During Xiaofang's illness, she wanted to eat some chili peppers and candy from time to time to improve her appetite. I understand her feelings, but I still have to persistently explain to her why she can't eat and persuade her to be patient a little longer.
You can't go against the dietary guidelines just because you're weak, as that will prolong the course of the disease.
3) Parents should be determined
As a parent, I understand that we are all more anxious and anxious when our children are sick. But it is still necessary to be sensible and not be vague about the principles of diet. Only by doing this can you help your child recover.
This requires us to have enough concentration and patience, neither too panicked nor too laissez-faire.
Eat a good diet to help you recover
After more than a week of continuous diet adjustment, Xiaofang's symptoms finally improved significantly, and she began to regain some energy and appetite. I saw that she could eat some soft and glutinous white porridge, and her face gradually turned rosy, and I knew that my hard work had paid off.
This time, the influenza A virus is menacing, and it is not enough to block it alone, but also to help children recover their strength from the aspects of nutrition and diet. A reasonable diet has played a great role in helping Xiaofang regain her health.
I am keenly aware that the effects of food on the human body are two-sided. A sensible diet not only provides a boost of energy, but also stimulates the body's strong self-recovery ability.
I will continue to prepare food carefully for Xiaofang to ensure that she grows up healthy and happy. I also hope that this experience will help more parents realize that food is closely related to health.
Enhance the awareness of protection and protect health
1) The child is finally recovering
After a month of care, Xiaofang's body finally recovered. When I saw her running and playing in the sun, the joy in my heart was indescribable.
The haze brought by this flu finally dissipated, and our whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
2) Be aware of the horror of the nail flu
The harm caused to Xiaofang by this flu made our family realize the terrible and repetitive nature of this virus. It is not enough to take shelter for a while, we must raise awareness of prevention and control, and always remain vigilant to avoid repeated invasion of the virus.
This requires not only individual efforts, but also strengthened publicity and guidance at the social level.
3) Call for protection
I appeal to all parents to pay attention to the prevention and control measures of influenza A and not to take it lightly. It is necessary to vaccinate children, avoid congregate activities, avoid crowded public places, and do good personal hygiene.
These efforts are for the sake of children's health and need to be paid attention to by parents.
4) Protect your child's health
This hard work has made me more aware that children's health is the cornerstone of our survival. We need to work hard and spend time with our children.
This time, I have protected Xiaofang, and I hope that in the future, we can protect her to grow up healthy and happy. I will work with her to protect myself from the virus.
Summarize the appeal
The ravages of this influenza A epidemic have once again proved its power and harmfulness. As parents, we must face up to the seriousness of the problem and not slack off. Once a child is infected, we need to stay calm and take effective countermeasures.
Proper diet is an important part of helping children recover as soon as possible. Increasing the amount of protein, vitamins and easily digestible foods in the diet, while avoiding irritating foods that are not suitable for your child's recovery, will greatly benefit your child's recovery.
I hope all parents will take this seriously.
Only by doing a good job of prevention and staying vigilant at all times can we protect our children from influenza A virus to the greatest extent. Only in this way can we protect the healthy growth of children.
Let's work together to protect the children and let them Xi learn and grow happily in the sun and wind.
