What are the possible pathogenic factors that need special attention in summer? Lei, an attending physician in the Department of Pediatric Allergy, Immunity and Rheumatology, Hsinchu Branch of MacKay Memorial Hospital, said that the factors leading to the baby's illness can be mainly divided into two parts: infection factors. The warm and humid climate in summer is suitable for the reproduction of germs, such as enterovirus and bacterial gastroenteritis (Salmonella, Campylobacter). As long as the baby is a little careless, it is easy to suffer. Compared with the cold winter and cool spring, in summer, the chances of parents leading their children out are greatly improved. Therefore, some respiratory tract infections, such as wheezing and acute bronchiolitis, are also prone to occur at this time. In severe cases, asthma attacks or pneumonia may even occur. In addition, chickenpox is also very popular at this time. Dad must vaccinate the baby than mommy to minimize the harm! Allergic factors and common allergies in summer are also easy to infringe on the baby's delicate skin, including urticaria caused by food allergies or insect bites. In addition, allergic dermatitis such as eczema, ultraviolet allergy and sunscreen allergy are also common, and avoiding contact with allergens as much as possible is the best prevention method. In addition, Yu You, an attending dermatologist in Xizhi Guotai General Hospital, also pointed out that playing in the warm sun for too long, if you don't do a good job of sun protection, you will get sunburned, which will not only make your baby spend a painful and itchy summer, but also may bury a bigger crisis for the skin in the future! 10 common diseases in pediatric outpatient department in summer Now, let's take a look at the most common diseases in summer and their prevention, treatment and nursing methods! Common disease 1: sunburn Dr. Yu You pointed out that sun protection is the first priority in caring for baby's skin in summer! Because the baby's skin is more fragile than that of adults, the melanin content that can resist ultraviolet damage in the sun is also lower than that of adults. And more importantly, as long as you are severely sunburned once, your baby's chances of suffering from malignant melanoma for life may double! Methods to prevent sunburn Regarding the methods of sun protection for babies in summer, Dr. Yu You has the following warm tips: 1. When outdoors, try to keep your baby in the shade and avoid direct sunlight. When pushing the stroller out of the door, remember to close the canopy or try to install a small umbrella. Try to avoid going out when the sun is strongest from 10 to 2 pm. Baby's skin under 2.6 months is very sensitive, so it is not recommended to wear sunscreen. Physical sun protection must be given priority to, including wide-brimmed hats, umbrellas and breathable cotton long-sleeved clothes. In addition to the physical sunscreen mentioned above, babies over 3.6 months old can also start using sunscreen. Try to choose products with SPF higher than 30 and low allergy. There are several places where toddlers are easily overlooked and don't wear enough sunscreen. These places include behind the knees, around the eyes, around the ears, around the neck and scalp. If you are outdoors, try to apply sunscreen every 2 hours. Sunglasses are also a must! How to treat sunburn? 1. Take a clean towel or tissue, soak it in cold water and apply it to the sunburned area, each time 10? 15 minutes, which can be repeated three times a day? Four times. 2. Use aloe vera or hypoallergenic moisturizing products to relieve it. Dermatologists may prescribe some mild steroid ointment or oral antihistamine to relieve stinging, itching and pain after sunburn. Common disease 2: prickly heat whenever the weather gets hot, prickly heat becomes one of the biggest headaches for novice parents. The appearance of prickly heat is a lot of small red rashes (sometimes with the appearance of transparent water droplets), especially on the face, neck, armpits, chest and back. The reason of heat rash is that the opening of sweat tube on the skin is blocked, which makes sweat enclosed in the skin and causes sexual reaction. These annoying little rashes can make people feel very itchy and often make the baby cry. The way to prevent miliaria is 1. Dr. Yu You believes that the most important thing is to avoid keeping the baby in an environment that is too hot and humid. Parents in Taiwan Province Province are often influenced by the traditional ideas of the older generation. They are afraid that their children will catch cold and wrap their babies thick and tight. In fact, good ventilation is the only way to prevent heat rash! 2. Loose and breathable clothes can also prevent prickly heat. Often koalas, the father carrying the baby is better than mommy or grandma, plus his body temperature, plus the material of the scarf is not breathable enough, which will often aggravate the baby's rash unconsciously. 3. According to the climate in Taiwan Province Province, it is necessary to put the baby in a cool air-conditioned room in summer. How to treat miliaria? 1. Use warm water and mild detergent to help the baby bathe. 2. Avoid using too greasy emulsion or skin care products, so as not to make the sweat hole blockage more serious. Usually the rash will subside within 1 week. Dermatologists usually prescribe prickly heat cream, which has the functions of soothing, relieving itching and absorbing sweat, so that the annoying prickly heat will disappear quickly. Common diseases 3: Enterovirus Dr. Lei said that there are about 68 kinds of enteroviruses at present, the most common are enterovirus 7 1 and Coxsackie A and B. Enteroviruses are common in infants under 5 years old. The younger the child, the greater the possibility of serious illness. Enterovirus can be transmitted by droplets, contact or feces, for example, touching toys with saliva of sick babies, playing with toys and putting small hands in their mouths, and even parents are important sources of transmission. Enterovirus often has the effect of aggregation infection, and it is often prone to collective illness in kindergartens. It becomes popular in March every year and reaches its peak in June. Summer vacation will slow down because of the reduction of agglomeration effect, and there will be a new wave of popularity from September. The typical symptoms of enterovirus are usually fever and more than two ulcers in the throat. Most ulcers are not obvious at first, only some little red dot will appear. It takes about 48 hours to form obvious blisters, and then rupture to produce ulcers. You can judge whether there is an ulcer in your mouth just by observing your child's appetite. Dad is better than Mommy. If the baby doesn't eat or drink all day, it's probably a sore throat. In addition, some babies infected with enterovirus will suffer from "hand, foot and mouth disease", and some small blisters will appear on the palms, soles and even the body, which will make the baby feel itchy and stinging. Methods of preventing enterovirus 1. Wash your hands frequently, especially when adults go home. If one child in the family is infected, it must be taken care of separately from other children. Parents take care of their children or ask their grandparents for help. 3. The home environment needs proper disinfection. General alcohol disinfection is ineffective for enterovirus. The environment can be disinfected with 500ppm diluted bleach, and the baby's articles can be washed and soaked with hot water above 50°C (usually hot water from the faucet). Enterovirus will soon lose its activity; Food must also be heated before eating. How to treat enterovirus? 1. Most enteroviruses can be cured by supportive therapy. Doctors may prescribe antipyretic and analgesic drugs for babies. If there is an oral ulcer, they will prescribe an oral ointment to help the wound heal. In addition, some oral analgesic sprays can be used together. 2. As long as the baby is willing to eat and does not dehydrate, he can basically observe at home after treatment, and most of them will have a fever for about 5 days, with high and low. Most people who need to be hospitalized do not eat or drink dehydration, go to the hospital for intravenous drip, or suspect the possibility of serious enterovirus. 3. It is suggested to give the baby something cold and delicious. If you don't have a cold or gastrointestinal symptoms, pudding, jelly and ice cream are all good choices. As long as the baby is willing to eat, it will not dehydrate. Watch out for signs of serious illness! Enterovirus occasionally causes serious diseases, and the virus may attack the heart (Zazie) or brain (enterovirus 7 1). The younger the child, the more dangerous it is. Pregnant women and infants under/kloc-0 should be careful to avoid infection. There are four important signs of severe enterovirus. If the following situations occur, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. 1. lethargy, mental difference 2. Shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat (no fever, still greater than 120 times per minute when quiet) 3. Even if you don't eat, you will continue to vomit. 4.
