At present, the outpatient clinic is still dominated by children with respiratory tract infections, but there is an upward trend in children with adenovirus. "Three or four of the 30 children were infected with adenovirus, an increase from some time ago, and the rest of the children were mainly treated with whooping cough, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus."
Director Li mentioned that if the child has a fever for three or four days and the body temperature is above 39°C, it is likely to be infected by adenovirus. Symptoms of different strains of adenovirus can vary, and the main symptom in some children is diarrhea.
What is an adenovirus?
Doctor's introduction,
Adenovirus is a common respiratory virus,
It is known to infect humans
There are more than 50 types of adenoviruses.
Adenovirus is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, and children have weak immunity, so there will be a situation where one person in the class is infected and then transmitted to several children. If the child is diagnosed with adenovirus, it is recommended to take leave to recuperate at home to avoid cross-infection among classmates; It is recommended that the child's body temperature be normal for 48 hours and the virus antigen will turn negative before returning to school.
After your child is infected with adenovirus
Can it be transmitted to adults?
"Adenovirus infections are prevalent in children under 5 years of age," the doctor said. Even if an adult is infected, the symptoms are relatively mild, and the rate of severe disease is low. ”
Can persistent high fever cause pneumonia?
Doctors said that the clinical manifestations of adenovirus are mainly fever, which is often a high fever that lasts for more than 3 days. If your child has a persistently high body temperature, a chest X-ray is recommended.
"Parents don't need to worry too much, most children with adenovirus infection are mainly upper respiratory tract infections, which are mild symptoms, and they will improve significantly after treatment, and the rate of severe pneumonia is low." Director Li said.
It is reported that
At present, there is no specific drug treatment for adenovirus infection.
Symptomatic treatment is the mainstay.
For most immunocompetent children, adenovirus infection is self-limiting, and mild cases generally resolve spontaneously without special treatment; If the disease worsens and develops into adenovirus pneumonia, you need to receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of your doctor.
Director Li reminded that after being infected with adenovirus, children should have a good rest in order to improve their immunity and help them recover soon. Generally, the incubation period of adenovirus is 3~10 days, if the child comes into contact with an infected person, he should pay attention to rest when he goes home and do a good job of daily protection.
How can I protect myself when I'm not infected?
Doctors remind that it is important to maintain a balanced and comprehensive nutritional intake for your child, ensure adequate sleep and appropriate exercise, and improve your child's immunity. At the same time, do a good job of personal protection, try not to take your children to crowded places, wash your hands frequently, wear masks, and reduce contact with patients.
