The rotavirus is one of the main pathogens that causes diarrhoea in infants and young children, especially during the autumn and winter seasons. Understanding the prevention and treatment of rotavirus is essential for parents and medical personnel.
This paper provides detailed information on preventive measures and treatments for paediatric rotavirus to help people better cope with this common disease.
First, the main measures to prevent the infection of the rotavirus include: 1. Vaccination: the oral rotavirus vaccine is the most economical and effective method of preventing the infection of the rotavirus. The primary target group is infants and young children between 2 months and 3 years of age, and it is recommended to be vaccinated annually before the peak of the epidemic. Vaccines can significantly reduce the incidence of severe diarrhoea.
There are several key points that need to be addressed in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.
Inoculations are targeted and time-bound, and the rotavirus vaccine is applied mainly to infants between the ages of 2 months and 3 years. The first dose of the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine should be completed within six weeks of the infant ‘ s age and the entire procedure should be completed by 32 weeks.
The vaccination procedure consists of three doses, ranging from 6 to 12, 10 to 22 and 14 to 32 respectively.
Inoculation methods. Vaccines are oral and are strictly forbidden. At each oral session, 3 mL is fed directly to infants and young children, avoiding the use of hot water for delivery.
Inoculation of infants and young children who are allergic to vaccine components should be prohibited. In addition, infants and young children with severe combination immunodeficiency syndrome or intestinal folds are not fit for vaccination. Vaccination storage and transport
Before and after the vaccine is used, there is a need for more than two weeks between the use of the vaccine and other living vaccines or immunoprotein. Most infants and young children do not experience significant adverse effects after vaccination. A few may have mild reactions, such as low heat, vomiting and diarrhoea, which usually disappear without special treatment. For infants and young children suffering from immuno-deficiency, immunosuppressants or serious illnesses,
2. Promotion of breast-feeding: Breast-milk is rich in immunoglobins and digestive enzymes that help to improve the gastrointestinal immunity of infants and young children and reduce the risk of viral infections.
3. Food and environmental health: To ensure the food hygiene of infants and young children and to avoid the consumption of cold and unclean food. Toys and utensils for infants and young children should be regularly cleaned and disinfected to prevent ingestion.
4. Maintaining good hygiene practices: Parents and caregivers should wash their hands in a timely manner before food or food is processed, such as toilets, and avoid transmitting pathogens to infants and young children.
5. Reducing exposure to sources of infection: Minimizing the risk of taking children to crowded public spaces during peak periods and avoiding exposure to children with diarrhoea.
II. The treatment of rotavirus infections includes, inter alia: 1. Treatment of diseases: antiviral drugs with no current effects of rotavirus infections, mainly through treatment of diseases. People with light disorders can correct dehydration by oral rehydration salts, while those with severe illnesses require intravenous rehydration.
2. Dietary adjustment: During diarrhoea, the feeding of infants and young children with high lactose should be avoided, as the rota virus is breast-fed. Diarrhoeal milk powder or alternative foods, such as digestable foods such as rice paste, may be used on a temporary basis to reduce the intestine burden.
3. Avoiding the use of antibiotics: antibiotics are not effective against the infection with the rotavirus, but may destroy normal intestinal strains and aggravate symptoms of diarrhoea. As a result, antibiotics are not recommended unless there is a combination of bacterial infections.
4. Assistive treatment: Some herbs and antivirals, such as interferences, are considered to be effective, but more clinical trials are needed to confirm their efficacy.
Rotational virus infections typically take 5-7 days, with most infants and young children recovering naturally in about a week. However, timely treatment and care are essential to prevent serious complications such as dehydration and acidism. Parents who detect symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting, etc. should be treated in a timely manner and under the guidance of a doctor.
In the light of the above, the main means of preventing paediatric rotavirus infection are vaccinations and good hygiene practices, while treatment is focused on treatment and dietary adjustment. These measures can effectively reduce the incidence of rotavirus infections, reduce the severity of the disease and guarantee the healthy development of infants and young children.
