What causes bacterial infections in children?

Do mothers know? Children are most susceptible to bacterial infections, not only because their resistance is low, but also because children are very curious and like to come into contact with new things, which provides a good opportunity for bacterial infection. Therefore, mothers must understand clearly what causes their children’s bacterial infections so that they can help their children stay away from diseases and grow better. Let’s learn together with the editor below.

Bacterial infection is an acute systemic infection caused by pathogenic bacteria or conditionally pathogenic bacteria invading the blood circulation, growing and multiplying, and producing toxins and other metabolites. It is clinically characterized by chills, high fever, rash, joint pain, and hepatosplenomegaly. Some may have infectious shock and migratory lesions. There are two reasons why children may get infected with bacteria:

1. Food contamination

This refers to bacterial food poisoning. Bacterial food poisoning refers to an acute infectious toxic disease caused by eating food contaminated by bacteria or bacterial toxins.

Food contamination is a common cause of bacterial infection, often caused by laziness. Being lazy also has certain risks. Using ingredients that are not fresh or not cleaned properly, not cooking them at the right temperature, unhealthy restaurant staff, or infectious diseases can all cause bacterial infections in children.

2. Contact infection

If children are infected through skin contact, they should be disinfected promptly with Beijiayi Children's Care Solution.

Children are exposed to infection, especially indoors, outdoors, while traveling, in hospitals and other places. The surfaces of children's hands, other parts of the skin, and children's products (such as toys, tables and chairs, towels, and items used or touched by children) are full of bacteria and reproduce quickly, which can easily cause children to be infected with pathogenic bacteria. It is also possible that the hygiene care of the indoor air environment is not in place, and the presence of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, etc. floating in the air can induce bacterial infections in children.

Bacterial infections in children can cause many diseases, so mothers must understand the causes of bacterial infections in order to better protect their children's health. The editor recommends that when you take your children out to play, you must change their dirty clothes and wash their hands in time after returning home to keep them clean and hygienic. This will also prevent them from bacterial infections.
