What if the child doesn't want to wear a mask?
/kloc-children under 0/are not suitable to wear masks, and younger children cannot wear masks. What should I do? For such children, passive protection is the main way. The so-called passive protection is to indirectly protect children through the protection of parents, family members and caregivers.
First, nurses should wear masks themselves and set an example. Second, don't sneeze at children. When coughing and sneezing, don't forget to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow. Dress your baby properly. Don't think it's winter, but don't advocate some parents to exercise their children's cold tolerance and make them catch cold and get sick. For older children, we can tell them directly why they wear masks by telling stories or reasoning. As a parent, you must set an example. Children should wear masks, and so should you.
How to distinguish influenza, common cold and COVID-19?
Winter is the season of high incidence of influenza in children. The child has a cough and a fever. How to tell the difference between influenza, common cold or COVID-19? Cold and flu often have symptoms of stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, and may also have a fever. But it is generally low to moderate fever, which lasts for 1~2 days and can heal itself in 3~5 days. A cold rarely has systemic symptoms of muscle pain or fatigue.
Influenza often has high fever, and the course of fever is relatively long, usually 3 to 5 days, and it will get better in a week or so. Influenza is usually accompanied by systemic symptoms, including muscle pain, fatigue and headache. Severe influenza may have serious complications, especially in young children.
The main symptoms of confirmed cases in COVID-19 include fever, cough, fatigue, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and some patients may lose their sense of smell and taste. Call on parents to provide medical history truthfully when taking their children to the hospital to help doctors make a diagnosis more quickly and accurately.
We must pay attention to these details of life.
1. Don't share tableware with children. Don't blow food with your mouth when feeding your child, and don't try food with your mouth before feeding it to your child.
2. Children's toys and articles should be disinfected regularly. Children's toys and articles are often scattered at home and often bitten by children. Be sure to disinfect them regularly and pay attention to children's hand hygiene.
3. Do hand hygiene before playing with children and holding them. When you get home, you should change into the clothes you wear outside and hold the baby after washing your hands.
4. The home should be ventilated regularly. Generally, it is ventilated 2~3 times a day for 20~30 minutes each time. Pay attention to take the children out of the ventilated room when ventilated in winter, and don't let the wind blow directly on the children to avoid catching a cold.
5. Take children to public places and confined spaces as little as possible. During the high incidence season of respiratory infectious diseases in winter, take children to crowded public places and closed spaces as little as possible, and wear masks in crowded places.
Remind parents that if they find that they have respiratory infections, including colds or other symptoms, they must wear masks and do proper home isolation.
