Summer common diseases are easy to invade children and parents need to be vigilant at all times

Every summer is a period of high incidence of many children's diseases. Due to the hot weather, many diseases are easily spread. Especially in the summer vacation, children go out more and parents tend to relax their supervision, which makes it easy for children to contract some common diseases.

Doctors remind that respiratory diseases, herpetic pharyngitis, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. are all high-incidence diseases among children during the summer vacation, and parents must be vigilant. It is best to keep children away from crowded places, because respiratory diseases are caused by respiratory infections. Children have weak resistance and are easily infected in crowded places.

If it is unavoidable, you must pay attention to hygiene, especially wash your hands thoroughly when you return home from outside, which can effectively prevent some diseases.

In addition , experts also remind that some parents may carry germs in their respiratory tract and may infect their children, so parents should also pay attention to their personal hygiene and not become the "culprit" that causes their children to get sick.

Children's cold is prone to gastrointestinal diseases

The temperature is high in summer, and food can easily spoil. If parents are not careful and let their children eat spoiled food, it can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases. In addition, children like to eat cold drinks and cold food. If these cold drinks are not hygienic enough and contaminated during production, children eating too much can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea. Moreover, the weather is hot in summer, and children may catch excessive cold and become ill if they use air conditioning for a long time or soak in cold water for a long time. Unhygienic food can easily lead to herpetic pharyngitis.

Summer is also the season when respiratory diseases are most prevalent.

According to the doctor, there have been many children suffering from herpetic pharyngitis, fever, and pneumonia in recent times, especially herpetic pharyngitis, which accounts for more than half of the daily outpatient visits. Herpetic pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharynx caused by a viral infection. Generally, if your hands are not clean, it is easier to spread when you eat. Especially after going out for fun, if you eat without washing your hands, it is easy to spread the virus. It is not a respiratory infection.

Parents must tell their children to wash their hands frequently.

Pay special attention when your child comes back from outside. In addition, if your child has a fever or sore throat and other symptoms, parents should consider whether the child has pharyngitis. At this time, it is better to go to the hospital in time. It is best not to give your child self-medication, because many diseases have similar symptoms, and it is not easy for parents to judge. Using the wrong medicine is very dangerous.
