The influenza epidemic among children is an acute respiratory epidemic caused by influenza viruses, which is characterized by high levels of transmission, speed of transmission and visible symptoms. The following is a detailed review of the children’s influenza epidemic:
I. Causes and pathogens
The main cause of the epidemic among children is the influenza virus. Influenza viruses are classified into categories A (A), B (B) and C (C), among which the virus is highly variable and prone to large-scale epidemics. Influenza viruses are transmitted mainly through fly-foaming, such as coughing, sneezing, etc., and can also be transmitted through exposure, such as exposure to virally contaminated objects before exposure to susceptible areas such as mouth, nose, eyes, etc.
II. The popular season and vulnerable populations
Influenza among children can occur four seasons a year, but winter and spring are high. The vulnerable population is mainly children, especially children under the age of 5, who are more vulnerable to influenza and serious complications due to the relatively weak immune system. In addition, older persons, pregnant women, chronically ill persons, etc. are also vulnerable.
Clinical symptoms
Clinical symptoms of influenza in children include high heat (with temperature ranging from 39 to 40°C), cold, cold, cough, throat pain, aldicarb, nose plugs, muscular acid pain, headaches, lack of strength, etc. Some of these children may also suffer from digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Severe cases can have multiple complications such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and shock, leading to death.
IV. Treatment and care: treatment of the symptoms of the child, such as the use of deflammation pills to reduce body temperature and the use of cough medicine to alleviate cough. It should be noted that the use of deciphered and coughing drugs is subject to medical advice, so as to avoid adverse reactions due to overuse or improper use. Anti-viral treatment: The timely use of anti-viral drugs for treatment following influenza virus infection can shorten the pathology and reduce symptoms. Antiviral drugs are currently commonly used, such as Tamiflu and Relenza, but require medical guidance. Support for treatment: Children need adequate rest and nutritional support during flu. Parents should ensure that their children receive sufficient moisture and nutrition to increase their immunity and promote rehabilitation. At the same time, indoor air flows are maintained to avoid an overcrowded environment in order to reduce opportunities for transmission of the virus. Prevention and treatment of complications: In cases of possible complications, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, etc., doctors treat the children accordingly. Parents should closely monitor the child ‘ s evolving condition and, if abnormalities are detected, they should seek medical care in a timely manner. V. Preventive vaccination against influenza: Influenza vaccine is an effective means of preventing influenza. Parents should provide their children with timely influenza vaccination as required by the national immunization plan. (b) Attention to personal hygiene: handwashing, especially before meals, after touching the eyes, nose or mouth, after going home; washing with handwashing fluids or soap, mobile water, whenever possible. Avoid exposure to respiratory diseases and minimize exposure of children to the sick during the high respiratory season, in order to reduce the risk of infection. In the case of a family member with a disease, care should be taken to prevent the spread of the virus through quarantine and sterilization measures. (c) Strengthening of health: children are encouraged to participate in outdoor activities, to exercise, to eat properly, to have a balanced diet, and to eat more vitamin- and mineral-rich food, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, etc., in order to increase their immunity. Avoid a crowded environment: during the high-prevalence flu season, as far as possible, children are not brought to crowded places such as malls, playgrounds, etc. If necessary, masks should be worn to protect them. VI. Mistakes and attention is one: influenza is not so serious that there is no need to worry too much. Indeed, influenza can cause serious complications and even endanger lives for children. Parents should therefore give high priority and take effective preventive and care measures. Misdia II: Influenza can only be cured by drug treatment. Indeed, the key to the prevention of influenza lies in increased immunity and the development of good hygiene practices, and drug treatment as a complement does not fully replace the importance of prevention and care. Attention: In case of symptoms of influenza in a child, parents should follow medical instructions to use drugs rationally and not blindly believe in partial or self-purchase to avoid delays in treatment or adverse reactions.
In summary, the child influenza epidemic is a respiratory epidemic that requires high attention. Parents should be aware of the causes, symptoms, treatment and care of influenza and of preventive measures in order to have timely access to and effective care in the event of illness. At the same time, influenza is being prevented through vaccinations, attention to hygiene and physical enhancement.
