What about the children’s flu?
Influenza is one of the major public health problems facing humanity, and children are high-prevalence and high-risk populations with severe influenza. The cooler weather and the rise of the influenza pandemic reminds us of the “fluencing” changes in the face of the children’s emergency. Don’t panic. Influenza can be cured. We have a solution to the flu! What’s a flu? Influenza is an acute respiratory epidemic caused by influenza viruses, with epidemiology characterized by sudden outbreaks and rapid spread, resulting in different levels of epidemics, seasonality, high morbidity and higher rates of death (except for human avian flu). Influenza viruses are transmitted mainly through the foam of their respiratory secretions and can also be transmitted directly or indirectly through mucous membranes such as mouth, nose and eyes. The incubation period is usually 1-4d (average 2d) and contagious from the end of the incubation period to the onset of the disease. In general, infected persons can extricate from the virus in clinical conditions from 24 to 48h, peaking in 24h after the onset of the disease. Adults and older children generally continue to be detoxified from 3 to 8 d (average of 5d), while the level of detoxification in younger children does not differ significantly from that of adults, but for longer periods. According to relevant statistics, the country has a high flu season from November to March each year. Influenza virus is an amphibious virus, with a membrane virus. Depending on the nucleoprotein and substrate protein antigens within the virus, they are classified as influenza A (A), B (B), C (C) and D (D). A is prevalent mainly in humans, mainly in the A-H1N1 and A-H3N2 subtypes. Both type B and type C influenza viruses have only one antigen subtype, with a limited host variety, a low prevalence of influenza worldwide, and type B influenza can cause seasonal epidemics and outbreaks. What’s the story with the flu? There are many sudden outbreaks of influenza among children, the main symptoms of which are heat, temperatures ranging from 39 to 40°C, cold and cold, with multiple headaches, body muscle acids, indigence and appetite, and often coughing, ingesting, aldicarb or nose plugs, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc., and more indigestion in children than in adults, often in type B flu. Clinical symptoms of infant and young child influenza are often unusual. Neonatal influenza is rare, but it is easily combined with pneumonia, often manifested in sepsis, such as sleeping addiction, non-weaning and suffocation. Most children suffering from influenza, without complications, are reduced from 3 to 7 d, but cough and physical recovery take between 1 and 2 weeks. Severe childhood conditions are developing rapidly, with temperature levels above 39°C, and rapid progress can be made in ARDS, sepsis, sepsis, heart failure, kidney failure, and even multi-organ dysfunction. The main causes of death are respiratory complications and influenza-related encephalitis or encephalitis. The combination of bacterial infections increases the rate of death of influenza, with the most common bacteria being the golden scab, the pneumococcus and other streptococcus. Infected children in general are likely to be in the form of light influenza, most of which is caused by children with underlying diseases, <5 and especially <2 years old. How do we prevent flu? 1. Annual influenza vaccinations are the most effective means of preventing influenza and can significantly reduce the risk of influenza and serious complications for those vaccinated. Globally, the listed influenza vaccine is divided into a live flu vaccine and an influenza abatement vaccine. In accordance with the composition of the vaccine, the influenza vaccine consists of a three- and a four-priced price. Inoculation of children over the age of June against influenza had a protective effect on influenza virus infections, and the four-valent influenza vaccine had varying degrees of protection against both type A and type B influenza, but the immunization against type B influenza was superior to the three-valor vaccine; the influenza vaccine had a higher protection effect on healthy children than on children with a basic condition, the older children had a better protection effect than the younger children, and the two doses compared to one dose of vaccination against influenza for children under the age of 9 provided better protection. In principle, all those aged 6 and above who are willing to be vaccinated against influenza and who have no taboos can be vaccinated against influenza. The China Centers for Disease Control recommended children aged 6-5 years as one of the priority groups for vaccination. In order to be protected before the high-prevalence influenza season, immunization should preferably be completed by the end of October each year, with protective antibodies emerging two weeks after vaccination. If time is missed, it can also be administered at any time of the popular season. 2. The maintenance of good personal hygiene practices in non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important means of preventing respiratory infections, such as influenza, and is used to wash hands; to avoid, to the extent possible, the presence of crowding sites and exposure to respiratory infections; and to maintain good respiratory hygiene habits in case of symptoms of influenza, coughing or sneezing, covering the nose, coughing or sneezing with paper towels, towels, etc., and washing hands after sneezing, as far as possible, to avoid touching the eyes, nose or mouth. Family members who are affected by influenza should avoid contact with each other as much as possible. When children of parents with influenza symptoms are admitted to hospital, they should be protected from cross-infection at the same time as their children and themselves (e.g. by wearing masks). In cases of influenza in collective units such as schools and child-care institutions, children should rest at home to reduce the spread of the disease. While vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza virus infections, in the event of influenza outbreaks, drug prevention can be recommended by populations that cannot use vaccines and by priority groups of children below. 3.1 Recommended drug-preventive populations (1): children at high risk of influenza complications with a vaccine for influenza; (2) children at high risk who have not received the best immunity within two weeks against influenza vaccine; (3) family members or health-care personnel who are unimmunized and who may be in constant and close contact with children at high risk of non-immunisation or infants under 24 months of age; (4) non-immunized staff and children at high risk who are in close contact in closed institutional settings (e.g. extended care facilities) and children at high risk; (5) children at high risk as a complement to vaccination, including children with impaired immune function and children at high risk who do not have sufficient protective immune response after vaccination; (6) post-exposure chemical prevention as family members and those infected with high risk of influenza complications; and (7) anti-viral chemical prevention for children with high risk of influenza complications and their families and close contacts and health-care personnel when the influenza epidemic strain does not match. Infants less than 3 months are not recommended for use. 3.2 Prophylaxis Ostave: For those who meet the precautionary drug indicator, it is recommended that they be taken at an early stage (within 48 h after exposure, as far as possible) and used in a continuous period until 7-10 d after last exposure; for those who fail to use 48 h after exposure, what should be done to prevent influenza from being administered? 1. The rest of the children were found to have flu and were advised to rest at home, not to go to school, and not to go to public places. If there are other children or elderly people in the family, it is best to be isolated from each other. To give the child time to recover the flu has a certain pathology, and it is too urgent to do so, so that if the child is in good condition, he or she can be observed at home and given time to recover. There is a risk of cross-infection in the event of a back-to-back hospital in a hurry, and the children are always out in the open, resting poorly and not contributing to their recovery. In the following cases, it is recommended that the child be taken to hospital: (1) The fever has not been seen by a doctor for more than three days or more than three days since the last visit. (2) The child has a soft mind and a changed colour, such as a flower or paleness. (3) Dehydration as a result of heat or vomiting, with little or no urine or without food. (4) Respiratory difficulties. (5) The incidence of vomiting and coughing is increasing with the prolonged heat. How long will we go to school after the flu? The temperature returned to normal and other influenza symptoms disappeared for 48 hours. Influenza treatment recommends the use of antiretroviral drugs at an early stage (within 48 hours of the onset of the disease), especially for high-risk groups. Antiviral treatment is also provided in cases where the disease occurs for more than 48 hours and the symptoms do not improve or tend to deteriorate. Rational use of treatment drugs and antibacterial drugs. The anti-influenza virus drugs that are currently on the market in our country are mainly neurological aminoase inhibitors Ostawe, Paramivie and Zanamwe, the RNA polymerase inhibitors Fapirave and Balochavi.
