Guard against the cold turned into a variety of other diseases

Cold

Flu is also called cold, is the inflammation of the nose and throat, but if uncontrolled, inflammation can spread down the development of acute bronchitis, bronchitis or even pneumonia. So often as pneumonia, bronchitis, early performance. Therefore, to understand the characteristics of this disease, so that effective treatment and care to prevent pneumonia.

When a child with a fever treatment of unhealed but there cough, bronchitis happened to be vigilant. The beginning of the irritating cough, with the disease after the development of increased bronchial secretions to the sound of cough with phlegm slightly. Older children spit up some yellow purulent sputum, but the baby will not spit out slightly, and often swallow and difficult to observe. Some patients also showed a sudden there are more deep cough, so that children in pain, or accompanied by shortness of breath, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal symptoms. If children puffiness, fever after the asthmatic cough, dyspnea, or tachypnea, asthma sound with breathing and nasal flap, inspiratory rib fossa deeper, you may have developed asthma, bronchitis.

Home care such children to pay attention to the warm water over sugar feeding, can thin mucus, often changing position, promote its secretions easily discharged. Also to enhance the nutrition of children. Found in children with a certain substance or drug allergy should avoid exposure. Of available cough without phlegm, infants and young children can be severe cough Shihai sedatives, but not in the sputum of the best cough, phlegm expectorant to mainly follow the doctor's advice oral or injectable antibiotics. For children with asthma, bronchitis treatment to the hospital in time to prevent future legacy of bronchial asthma.

Also, can use to syndrome differentiation of TCM, to cure disease, prevent disease development.

1, cold cough: cough, sputum is white, thin, nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge flow, cold sweat-free tongue whitish, Xing Su San addition and subtraction can be used.

2, wind-heat cough: cough uncomfortable with thick phlegm, yellow, easy to spit up, face red hot with sweat, or a flow of yellow nose, thirst, thin yellow tongue coating, available Sang Ju Yin subtraction.

Otitis media

Between the mouth and ears in a eustachian tube connected, because children's eustachian tube relatively short and flat, plus the resistance of children poor, nose or mouth bacteria, viruses can easily along the Eustachian tube into the ear cavity inflammation. Acute otitis media is a 2-year-old to 8-year-old children's common diseases, the most vulnerable to cold after a long time, in case there is no sign of onset, brought much suffering for the child.

Prevention of acute otitis media in children can be cold after the intranasal approach. Truth through the nasal, the nasal patency in children, bacteria or virus is not easy to stay a long time, otitis media caused by eustachian tube significantly reduced the chance of disease.

Viral myocarditis

Cold can cause many complications and may even be the precursor symptoms of other diseases, viral myocarditis is one of the most common. Data show that children in recent years, the incidence of viral myocarditis in an upward trend. Viral myocarditis is usually in the cold for several days or 2-3 weeks later, symptoms of mild to severe, mild symptoms are not obvious, plus kids do not know and can not be expressed, often easily overlooked and missed; weight can heart expand occur within a short-term, acute heart failure or cardiogenic shock, and even sudden death.

Cold is often overlooked, but some people after a cold can cause myocarditis, especially in children. Viral myocarditis caused by influenza a certain aura, a careful observation to discover:

A police color, because the virus violated the myocardium, affecting the function of the heart, the body of oxygen, although the children back burning, but general to regain face, pale gray, black and blue lips;

2 police gas, usually a child in good spirits after a cold, "Danian", the total dizziness boring, moving about on asthma, chest tightness, palpitation;

Three police pulse, resting pulse of a child less than 60 times per minute, or more than 120 times, or jump a few after a long gap, this is too slow, too fast and irregular pulse, is not a normal phenomenon .

The key lies in prevention of viral myocarditis, a cold after going to pay attention to rest, reduced activity, not for dramatic movement, in the event the use of "cold" can not explain the changes, in time to the hospital. Myocarditis is currently no effective therapy, but found that the earlier, control sooner, the less myocardial damage, the prognosis is like. Otherwise, delayed treatment, or develop into chronic, the prognosis is often poor.

Deaf-mute

On the surface, cold and deaf children, and no connection, however, found that clinical work and research: common cold in children has become an important departure because the deaf children. Therefore, the prevention of influenza in children, and proper treatment must bring our full attention.

Influenza, common cold is commonly known that people with acute rhinitis, nasal mucosa is a common infectious disease of acute hearing loss in children is called glass deafness in children is due to hearing impairment in children, thus causing a result of normal hearing of. The pathogen is mainly caused by cold viruses, and more complicated with bacterial infection after the onset. Ear infections can cause neurological damage, hearing loss caused; children may occur when a cold high fever, convulsions, also can cause brain damage and deafness. In addition, the children with hair when cold nasopharynx inflammation, leading to otitis media, tympanic membrane, can also cause hearing loss.

Raising the level of due care, deafness caused by cold has been a marked decline, but the cold treatment by unreasonable use of streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin or amikacin caused by ototoxic drugs such as Deafness is common in children. Navy 414 Hospital of the Nanjing School for 220 students in school because of deafness that: cold treatment of the use of ototoxic drugs gentamicin and other improper accounting for the total number of deafness of 54%, with other diseases, use of ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss accounts for about 70 percent of the total number.

Therefore, not every parent can guard against influenza in children. First of all, children should pay attention to prevention of influenza in children, such as a cold, the parents have to take him to the hospital in time, not privately medication. If found in the treatment of children on the tinkling bells, cries were slow, in time to the hospital. I have parents or family history of the ototoxic antibiotic-sensitive persons, their health and future generations, should be less or no ototoxic antibiotics. The children have hearing loss on at the same time, prompt treatment should be deaf and mute, rehabilitation training, so as to avoid hearing the weak Er Zhi dumb. As long as we are based on a flu prevention and early diagnosis, proper treatment can reduce or avoid the occurrence of influenza caused by the deaf, so that our future generations in a sound world of healthy growth.
