What are the symptoms of sepsis in children?

1. If the child has a persistent high fever above 39° and feels particularly cold and has chills, he will sweat a lot after the fever subsides. Some children may have a grayish face, and children with severe conditions may also have confusion, increased heart rate, and rapid breathing. This requires parents to pay attention, as this may lead to sepsis.

2. If a child with sepsis accidentally bumps his skin somewhere, bruises and rashes will appear in his mouth and limbs. Some children may also feel gastrointestinal discomfort, have diarrhea, bloody stools, vomit blood, and have swelling and pain in the joints. When these symptoms appear, parents should be extra careful not to treat it as an ordinary illness. If you want to receive treatment, you must go to the hospital for examination before you can receive treatment, otherwise the disease will be delayed and may lead to serious illness.

What causes sepsis?

1. Sepsis is an acute disease. If a child's resistance and body functions are poor, he or she will easily get sepsis. Therefore, the younger the child, the more susceptible they are to sepsis. Also, children's skin is delicate and easily hurt. When the skin is hurt, inflammation will invade the skin and enter the blood. The immune ability of the cells in the blood will begin to decline, making it easy for them to get sepsis.

2. If the child is born weak, his physical fitness is not very good, and his nutrition cannot keep up with the development of the body. I or my child may have some congenital diseases, and these diseases require long-term treatment, which may cause damage to the body's immune function and lead to sepsis in the long run. Therefore, it is necessary to improve children's physical functions and immunity in normal times to ensure that they can resist virus invasion.

3. Children with weaker bodies should pay attention to their daily health care and avoid contact with too many sources of bacteria. Improving nutrition will help the body develop and strengthen immunity, and the ability to fight germs will also be enhanced.
