News from our correspondent recently, children with respiratory tract infections frequently occur, the reporter learned from several hospitals in the urban area that the number of pediatric outpatient visits has increased significantly. Among them, the Children's Medical Center of Taihe Hospital has a daily outpatient visit of more than 1,000 people. Experts remind parents to protect their children, wear masks, wash hands frequently, and avoid gatherings.
The 3-year-old son had a high fever for two days and did not improve. A few days ago, Ms. Liu, who was so anxious, took her child to the Children's Medical Center of Taihe Hospital in Taihe City. After examination by Pan Jun, chief physician of the Children's Medical Center of Taihe Hospital, the child was diagnosed with herpetic angina.
The reporter saw at the outpatient department of the Children's Medical Center of Taihe Hospital that parents and children who came to see the doctor crowded the hall, and it was even difficult to find a vacancy at the infusion department. The reporter randomly interviewed several parents and found that many children's symptoms were similar to those of Ms. Liu's son, mainly fever, cough and sore throat.
"From mid-to-late June to the present, the outpatient volume has remained high. Recently, the highest daily outpatient volume has exceeded 1,000 people. This is a rare situation in recent years." Pan Jun introduced that the children who came to see the doctor Most of them are respiratory tract infectious diseases. Recently, the incidence of herpetic angina and hand, foot and mouth disease has a clear upward trend.
When the reporter interviewed at the Children's Medical Center of Taihe Hospital, some parents also reported that their children fell ill repeatedly in the first half of this year, and they often fell ill again just a few days after they were discharged from the hospital and went to school.
"In the first half of this year, children's diseases showed three characteristics: high infection, severe infection, and repeated infection. The outpatient and inpatient wards have been operating at a high level." Luo Xinbing, deputy chief physician of the Children's Medical Center of Taihe Hospital, introduced that from January this year to the present, Many children have experienced new crown infection, influenza A, respiratory syncytial virus infection, second new crown infection, and the recent high incidence of herpetic angina and hand, foot and mouth disease. Almost every once in a while, there is a new wave of respiratory infections.
Investigating the reason, Luo Xinbing believes that during the previous period of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, everyone had a strong sense of self-protection and prevention. They insisted on wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and not gathering together, which made it difficult for many children to come into contact with the virus. Although this is a good thing, it also caused children The body does not produce protective antibodies against these viruses. With the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, people's awareness of self-protection has weakened, and many viruses have also entered the human body, making children susceptible to various diseases. This is also called "immunity debt" in medicine.
Luo Xinbing reminded that respiratory infectious diseases are mostly transmitted by air droplets and direct contact. At present, children's medical centers are mostly infected with multiple viruses. In order to avoid cross-infection, children should not only protect their children in daily life, but also wash their hands frequently, ventilate more, wear masks, and gather less. Parents should also take good precautions. Many parents came into contact with the virus outside and took it home. They did not wash their hands and disinfect in time, resulting in the infection to their children. In addition, timely vaccination is also an effective means of prevention.
