Secondary hospitals Xuhui District Dahua Hospital pediatric Laohumin on this A few days an unprecedented admissions a day more than 400 children, is usually doubled pediatrician had a doctor 21:30 end time dragged on until late at night eleven points to end. Shanghai Children's Hospital and several more are overflowing, Children's Hospital, Children's Medical Center has more than 5,000 small patient, a record peak of almost every day, eight or nine at the end of the night clinic often delayed until the next morning.

    This round of this year's winter peak menacing child is sick, the experts admitted that many children repeatedly fever, there are three or four times a day to run the parents pediatric emergency, so this will be more highly saturated outpatient overwhelmed. Parents give their children more afraid to undress the heat, cover the more hotter, a vicious cycle.

     Two hospitals are overflowing pediatric clinic

    20:00, Children's Hospital Outpatient brightly lit waiting room, the infusion room are packed with children's coughs, cries after another. Ms. Fan 4-year-old daughter, a high fever for several days, after work, she took her daughter came to visit. When to get the registration form, she could not believe my eyes, there in front of more than 200 small patient waiting, "estimates did not thirty-four hours Lunbu Shang." Ms. Fan tangled again and decided to "retreat", home two hospitals nearby doctor. But when she arrived at Dahua Hospital, and ignorant, and equally overcrowded. At the top of one of the parents with children have been waiting for twelve hours. "The first two to the hospital, did not expect so many people."

    These days, Dahua Hospital pediatric patients coming so many small, but also to the pediatric clinic doctors by surprise. The department only five doctors, including a medical support to the field, four doctors had little more than 200 patients a day admissions had been powerless. Unexpectedly, two weeks ago to start a small daily patient surge to 400 people, last Wednesday once reached 450 children.

"These days every day to see eleven points late at night because too little patient, day shift left the initiative to help pediatricians, should continue to go to work the next day 8:00."

    Outpatient night only "dragged"

Although a 24-hour emergency room, but the the 22:30 on the end of the night dragged clinic, doctors often want to see eleven points to end the night. Children's Hospital of the relevant responsible person said, the night not much to see some patient clinic doctors, patients are flocking to the small emergency, emergency situation would fall into paralysis.

    Coincidentally, the night clinic Shanghai Children's Medical Center of the end of the original 20 o'clock, because too little patient, two or three hours every day until the end of the delay. "Even at home the rest of the mothers had doctors, nurses have been called supports."

    Winter temperature changes, the most vulnerable children in the move. The days of fog before the array is the test of a child's resistance. Experts emotion, this round is sick this winter, the course is very long, repeated many children with fever, cough recovery period is also stretched.

    [Experts advise]

    Clothing too thick, child's temperature will rise to 38 ℃

    How do children fever? Shanghai Children's Hospital Respiratory Dong Xiaoyan, deputy chief physician, said, in fact, numerous errors of parents, "When a child fever, some parents because of the cold weather, not undress heat, resulting in a more cover more heat, a vicious cycle; Some parents in child When the disease is not completely clear on the use of antimicrobial drugs, which can also cause damage to the child. "


    Fever is not always a bad thing. When the timing of the body's heat various immune functions are superior to normal body temperature, which inhibit the growth of pathogens immune function, reproduction, help patients recover. DONG Xiaoyan pointed out prematurely forced cooling with drugs, will dampen the body's natural defenses, the duration of extension, and may mask the symptoms and fever due. For long-term child's fever, body temperature can regularly every day, the best fixed rectal temperature measurements. Fever was observed child's mental state is an important basis for judging the condition. In addition, a large number of supplementary water or light fruit juice is also very important.

    Meanwhile, not all children with fever cases are caused by viruses and bacteria. Infants eating, exercise, crying, clothing too thick, high temperature and other non-pathological factors can also make the body temperature rises to 38 ℃. If the child body in good condition, no other symptoms, just pay attention to proper feeding, dress appropriately, even to lower the high temperature, but also allows the children to return to normal body temperature. Such short-term fluctuations in temperature are not sick.

    In addition, experts reminded the public to regularly ventilation windows, in a sunny, little wind, when the kids go out for some fresh air.
