      The temperature in southern Jiangxi was slightly higher last week, but the temperature dropped suddenly in southern Fujian during these two days, mostly in rainy weather, as if it had returned to winter from early spring. On March 19th, a reporter from the China Business Daily visited the Pediatrics Department of the Central Hospital of Southern Jiangxi and learned that due to sudden drop in temperature, increased fever and upper respiratory tract infections, the number of patients attending the clinic was 20% more than usual.
      In the pediatric infusion room, Ms. Wang was accompanied by her granddaughter's infusion. ?The temperature changes a lot the previous two days. I discovered that a 4-year-old granddaughter had fever and cough symptoms. He quickly took the child to the hospital for examination. He had lost two days of fluid. As far as I know, three or four children in the class of grandchildren in the past two days have caught a cold and must pay attention to adding clothes in time."


      He Shuangren, director of pediatrics at the Central Hospital of South Jiangxi, said that recently, some parents did not add clothes to their children in time. It was a season when the children had small respiratory tracts, thin respiratory tract, and they were vulnerable to cold weather. Symptoms were basically all symptoms. Fever, cough, etc. ?The number of patients who visited more than 130 people in the past two days was 20% more than usual. The number of patients coming to the hospital in the next few days may increase.? For patients with upper respiratory tract infections, the doctor will recommend taking medication; for pneumonia, Patients with bronchitis generally recommend infusion therapy.
      He Shuang Ren reminded that the recent changes in temperature, we must add children in time to reduce clothes; allow children to develop good hygienic habits, such as washing hands with soap after meals; pay attention to the air circulation in the room to prevent indoor and outdoor temperature difference is too large; outdoor activities as little as possible Go to crowded places to avoid cross-infection.
      According to Li Fuhong, Director of Respiratory Medicine at the Central Hospital of South Jiangxi Province, despite the sudden drop in temperature in recent days, there has been no significant increase in the number of patients attending the Department of Respiratory Medicine, and the number of visits per day has been maintained at more than 100 people. ?Compared with the previous period, the number of elderly patients visited recently Increase." It is recommended that elderly people reduce their activities in the last few days. If they must go out, they should wear masks; they should not go to crowded places; if the recent changes in temperature, they should add clothes in time.
