"Parenting" - Beware of Enterovirus is a menace

As the seasons change every year, especially in spring and summer, when the weather is hot and cold, sunny and rainy, people's resistance is weakened, so a small wave of viral infections can often lead to a pandemic.

The treatment of all viral infections requires a "continuum of care". Proper rest, hydration and nutrition are the three essential elements.

Rest: The most effective way for a sick child to rest is to lie down and sleep at home. When all your energy is not used up and you are able to fight the virus, your capital must be the strongest. Moreover, only your own white blood cells can kill the virus. Therefore, resting means that your body should not exert itself unnecessarily, so that the white blood cells, the army of your body, can kill the virus properly!

Hydration: Many sick children do not like to drink water when they have a fever, and forcing them to drink water is a last resort. When a child is particularly sick, feeding him his favorite apple juice, orange juice, etc., not only get water, but also get a lot of vitamin C. Moisture fever than any medicine, are in line with the physiological needs.

Nutrition: Nutrition is like an army's back-up supplies. Without it, the army will run out of ammunition sooner or later. When your child is a picky eater due to illness, the best option is to feed him milk.

The protein nutrients in milk are the fastest and easiest to absorb, and protein is an indispensable ingredient in the body's production of antibodies.

Enterovirus Infection and Prevention

Enterovirus is a type of filtration virus, which can be categorized as Coxsackie virus type A, B, poliovirus, echovirus and other enteroviruses.

Enterovirus can be transmitted through contact with the patient's nasal and oral secretions, feces, droplets, etc. In order to avoid transmitting the virus to others or being infected by the virus, the best way is to "wear a mask"!

Because enteroviruses are highly contagious, they are most easily transmitted in places where there is close contact and frequent interaction between people, such as homes, schools, and parenting classes. Therefore, people should pay special attention to their own hygiene practices and those of their infants and children, and adults and children should wash their hands correctly before hugging or feeding their infants and children.

If your baby or child is diagnosed with enterovirus infection by dentists, he/she should rest at home and observe the patient at home to see if he/she has any symptoms of serious illness, such as drowsiness, unconsciousness, poor vitality, weakness of arms and legs, muscle twitching (sudden muscle contraction without any reason), continuous vomiting, shortness of breath or rapid heartbeat, etc. If these symptoms occur, please go to the hospital immediately for proper treatment so as not to miss the golden time for treatment. If any of the above symptoms occur, please go to a major hospital immediately for proper treatment so as not to miss the golden time for treatment.
