  The night shift on this day, I almost "collapse", explaining again and again, repeating it over and over again, as if rewinding the tape. Emergency services at night are rarely so busy. On average, a small patient will come in about half an hour. Except for a few of them who had high fever, most of the temperature was not high, their spirits were very good, there was no herpes in their throats, and there were no rashes on their hands. There were even a few children who coughed a few times and the parents brought them.

   fully understand the power of the media, Enterovirus EV71 incidents have caused parents in other places to panic.

   In the morning shift meeting, I opened my tired eyes and reported my duty experience to everyone. Everyone laughed.

  Director said: "I was about to talk about this matter. Yesterday afternoon, the hospital held an emergency meeting and conveyed the instructions of the superior to everyone. I hope everyone can understand it. Everyone knows that it is rare in Fuyang. The EV71 enterovirus is prevalent, and the victims are all children. But other provinces and cities have not found a similar situation, and we have not found an epidemic here; first of all, don’t panic. But everyone should also be highly vigilant. No matter who goes to the clinic Or emergency, if a suspicious case is found, such as a child with herpes in her throat, you must remind parents to be highly vigilant and return to the clinic at any time. It must not be said that the child is only a small cold. It does not matter if the child is a cold. If a suspicious case is found, it must be reported to the hospital. Everyone should pay attention to this. When encountering a child with a cold, you cannot exaggerate the facts. You must explain it to your parents patiently and not cause too much panic to the parents. Recently, there have been rumors that "children''s SARS" is coming. In fact, this is not the case. We know The EV71 enterovirus is not a new virus. It was originally there. Similar reports have been made at home and abroad a few years ago. There are a small range of epidemics in different places in different periods. Here, we have not found EV71. The hand-foot-mouth disease caused by us is almost caused by Coxsackie virus group A, most of which are not heavy, and most of them can be cured after symptomatic treatment. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to work recently, on the one hand, it must be explained reasonably... ..."

   After listening to the director’s report, everyone understood how to deal with the recent "emergency" incident.

  Yes, SARS "Not come! Here, I would like to say a few words to everyone, first of all, parents don’t panic; sometimes, there are good things about bad things, and the virus epidemic reminds everyone again, no matter when , We should all develop good habits to maintain the environment in which we live, and have the thought of taking precautions. As a pediatrician, I remind parents to pay attention:

  1. Both parents and children Wash hands frequently, develop good personal hygiene habits, do not drink raw water, do not eat cold food.

   2. Pay attention to the nutrition and reasonable diet of infants and young children, do not pick food, take children outdoor to sunbathe, exercise moderately And get enough sleep to improve immunity.

   3. During epidemics and epidemic areas, if children are found to have symptoms of herpes, parents should go to the hospital in time and consciously isolate, do not send children to kindergarten prematurely And go to school, let the children rest at home until they recover from illness.

   4. Avoid taking children in and out of crowded, non-ventilated public places, try not to let children come into contact with suspicious children.

   5. Pay attention to the sanitation and ventilation of the home environment, if possible, you can buy ultraviolet lamps to sterilize the room.

   6. Educate children and develop a good habit of caring for the environment from an early age , Don’t throw litter, don’t spit.

   7. Tell the child that the earth is our common home, and we love her the same as my little home.

Copy successful, you can go to share.
