      Recent peak day admissions more than 800 children, it is recommended not serious or home visits can be observed during the day   exactly what types of illness before emergency needs, and how proper medication and care before? One pointing pediatrician   harassment haze from time to time, plus low temperatures, Xicheng Respiratory recent major hospitals are overcrowded, particularly among children's fever. City Children's Hospital of up to 600 people a day, once reached the peak of more than 800 people. Individual parents are anxious to run three or four times a day or even a pediatric emergency department, emergency child so extremely saturated overwhelmed.   Face peak attendance raging struck, pediatrician admits: Children's Hospital emergency room at night to 80% of all high fever, cough, diarrhea and other common diseases, pediatric general hospital, community hospitals and even doctors can handle, no rush went to the Children's Hospital. So, kids colds, fever, and parents how to distinguish a viral or bacterial? Exactly what medication is the most appropriate treatment? Currently viral influenza is a common  respiratory physicians Children's Hospital, said:.

    "small patient admissions currently mostly viral influenza, accounting for more than 80 percent,"

    but many parents wondering: how to distinguish between upper respiratory tract infection is viral or bacterial ?   "The early appearance of these two infections are very similar, are sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and other symptoms." Says pediatrician, so doctors usually need treatment for patients with small blood checked once a white blood the proportion of granulocytes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein is higher than the reference value can be recognized as a "bacterial infection." If this number of indicators in the normal reference range, it is "viral infection."   Then, after the child suffering from a cold, is immediate medical attention or home observation? Doctors, viral influenza symptoms than the general nasal pharyngeal symptoms runny nose, pharynx, tonsils generally small or not red, the main symptoms are nasal discomfort. Bacterial colds are tonsils or throat swelling and pain significantly. Viral and bacterial flu has a fever. As long as a doctor to rule out other diseases diagnosed, parents can always observe the children's mental state: once decreased appetite, disturbed sleep, and looked sluggish and other poor mental state appeared to be a doctor immediately; If the good state of mind, or even do not have a fever to 39 degrees Celsius worry, you can first observe 1-2 days at home. Because influenza viruses are not antibiotic treatment, as long as through physical cooling, bland diet and drink plenty of water, parents may wish to let the children through their own resistance to slowly repair itself.  Seizures in children and pneumonia are "emergency"  , "common in children with acute febrile seizures in children, occurs in the winter, the peak day admissions over five children." says pediatrician, when more children with high fever to 38.5 ℃, prone to seizures, if a long time can cause febrile seizures brain hypoxia, affect intelligence. Therefore, parents of children with seizures occur, do not forcefully prevent limbs twitch, to avoid fracture and dislocation, etc., to quickly unlock the kids clothes buttons, to maintain smooth breathing. Child's thumb pressing "people" point, until the children crying issued so far. And other symptoms after immediately sent to hospital for medical treatment.   Another condition is that children need acute pneumonia. Common in children aged less than 1-2 years old, most of bronchiolitis, severe breathing difficulties. "The main symptoms are fever subside, shortness of breath, when some children have pneumonia medical doctor said the child pneumonia caused by the cold weather, but the cold is not treated, easy secondary to pneumonia on clinical findings, Most children are secondary to fever three days to subside.   doctors remind parents that winter is the season of increased pneumonia in addition to persistent fever subside, the children who show respiratory rate, nasal flap, mouth breathing, breathing deep and large undulating symptoms should seek immediate medical attention. Additionally, if the child continued to cough a month, although no fever, must also be confirmed whether the film secondary pneumonia. condition is not serious you can visit during the day  , said pediatrician from outpatient and emergency admissions situation, Many children's condition is not serious, there are only a runny nose or cough twice, but parents are very nervous, and some two or three times a day to run the pediatric emergency room, outpatient and emergency allows extremely saturated overwhelmed addition, many parents of children with Nursing lack of knowledge. emergency door often see parents afraid to undress children with high fever heat, contrary package like dumplings, cover more hotter, malignant Xun ring.   "In fact, a fever is not necessarily a bad thing, medication prematurely forced cooling, will dampen the body's natural defenses, the duration of extension. "Pediatrician said 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. Meanwhile, not all children with fever cases are caused by viruses and bacteria The sometimes, infant feeding, exercise, crying, clothing too thick, high temperature and other non-pathological factors can also make the body temperature rises to 38 ℃. If a child general condition is good, no other symptoms, as long as the attention reasonable feeding, clothing modest, even to lower the room temperature is too high, so that children can return to normal body temperature. Such transient temperature fluctuations are not sick.   Meanwhile, doctors urge parents who try to come to the hospital to see a doctor during the day, at night the limited resources children left real emergency. (Reporter willow)
