Zhejiang Medical breakthroughs children hospital outpatient respiratory disease in children up to the recent peak

After a busy week, the best reward is a sunny weekend. This past weekend, the micro-channel circle of friends, almost all of them in the spring sun, blowing photographs of various flowers.

However, according to the meteorological department news, every day, rain began to Hangzhou today, Friday Xieyi Xia, Saturday will rain; And so when the rain stopped the weather is estimated to continue until the end. This warm and humid climate is a variety of biological favorites, such as dust mites, a variety of bacteria and viruses.

The trick is often one a little older. Yesterday, reporters from Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, learned only during the day, to break the 6500 hospital outpatient visits, the recent peak.

Seasonal flu rise

Mild symptoms do not worry

Reporters and checked, since March 10, the hospital outpatients visits in 5500 over the previous month increased by more than 1000 people a day. These new children, mainly respiratory diseases, there are six or seven hundred people, including children with acute bronchitis and pneumonia increased more than 200 cases a day, allergic asthma, rhinitis, increased more than 50 cases.

Zhu Guohong Zhejiang Medical children hospital outpatient department deputy director, told reporters in the spring fits and starts, in addition to the prevention of colds, pneumonia, infectious diseases should be careful. From the clinic to monitor the situation, the spring flu epidemic began small scale.

"For patients with fever of influenza surveillance, the 20 children in the 4 to 8 people monitoring results as positive, that is infected with the flu."

Zhu Guohong said that the current influenza surveillance to several children to influenza B as Lord, compared to influenza, relatively mild symptoms, mainly fever based, less complications, but also less severe in children, parents need not worry too much.

Throat spray vinegar can prevent disease

It will trigger asthma

For the most recent period, some of the kindergarten for the children of Hangzhou throat spray vinegar practice, there are many parents to ask reporters, this approach is not scientific in the end?

This reporter asked the doctor.

"The traditional concept should be altered, there is no clinical evidence that spraying vinegar can prevent some diseases." Zhu Guohong reminded that stimulate the taste of vinegar itself, if the child itself is allergies or asthma, throat spray vinegar causes mucous membranes by stimulus, it is likely to induce asthma attacks.

I wish doctors recommend parents and teachers, children and disease prevention, one should pay attention to the clothes and subtraction, the clothes do not wear clothes off immediately; then one is emphasized hand hygiene, be sure to wash your hands before eating.

Cough and cold medicine busy

A week later they will better

After a bad cough and cold delays, most parents suck. I wish the reporter repeatedly asked the doctor about a cough in the end not to take medicine problem.

"This season, repeated respiratory infections, recurrent cough is very common, do not get too nervous parents first." Zhu said the doctor, usually a week or so to restore cough, individual needs 2-4 weeks, or even eight weeks is possible.

I wish the doctors, there is a term called "post-infection cough" medicine, that after upper respiratory tract infection cough, which are generally able to relieve itself. Generally take a week, a week has not improved, but increased to immediately go to the hospital.

If the child does not have a cold, first cough, cough frequency, but not high, not very difficult, we can observe a couple of days at home, eat some cough medicine; If there is no improvement in two or three days, but worse, and accompanied by shortness of breath, fever, should bring the child to the hospital as soon as possible.

The climate is warm and humid various biological favorites, should pay more attention.
