Peninsula reporter Wang Xinxin reports

The newspaper reported on September 28 that the peak period of hand-foot-mouth disease and herpetic angina was just over, and the island city immediately set off a wave of colds, big leaf pneumonia, and laryngitis. In the past few days, the reporter visited the emergency department and pediatrics of many hospitals such as Qingda Affiliated Hospital, Municipal Hospital, Women and Children Hospital, and found that there are many children in the ?Zhong Zhao?. Some hospitals can receive more than 700 visits a day, and as few as three or four hundred. Experts predict that children with upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and autumn diarrhea will continue to increase.

At noon on September 28, the reporter went to the emergency department of Qingdao Women and Children Hospital. Although it was noon, the infusion room and emergency room were still crowded. The numbering system is called one by one, and the medical staff can't take a meal and rest, and insist on sitting. Xu Yingjun, the person in charge of the emergency department, rushed to the clinic after the ward round. When he sat down, there were parents who came in with the children. There was a small queue waiting for the consultation outside the clinic. Xu Yingjun told reporters that from June to August is the high incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease and herpetic angina. The high incidence of these two diseases has just come to an end, and the children with colds and fevers have followed up. It has been obvious since mid-September. The upward trend has seen a surge in outpatient volume. According to statistics, the number of consultations in the emergency department for up to one day is more than 700.

The reporter learned that the Qingda Affiliated Hospital Emergency Pediatrics, the Municipal Hospital Headquarters and the Eastern Hospital District Pediatrics Hospital also received a large number of small illnesses. Among them, Zhang Ruiyun, director of the Department of Pediatrics of the Municipal Hospital, counted the number of consultations close to the number of women and children hospitals.

What are the diseases in a large number of patients? Xu Yingjun said that in addition to the hand-foot-mouth disease and herpetic angina, the symptoms of other children are obvious and concentrated. The three diseases of cold, pneumonia and laryngitis are the Lord. Among them, pleuropneumonia caused by infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children with pneumonia is more common, with an average of seven or eight visits a day, and children under the age of 4 are mostly. In addition, if the child has symptoms such as hoarseness, rapid breathing, dry cough, irritability, etc., he should see the doctor as soon as possible to see if he is suffering from acute laryngitis.

The biggest feeling of Xu Yingjun and other experts is that this year's mycoplasma infection is very strong, and it is particularly early, parents should strengthen the care of children, and seek medical treatment if necessary. At present, the emergency department of the Women and Children Hospital has prepared medicines in advance and made relevant preparations.
