Recently, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council issued a notice to further optimize the epidemic prevention and control measures. Asymptomatic infected persons and mild cases with home isolation conditions generally adopt home isolation. How to prevent the epidemic in families with children and what parents can do after children are infected have become a concern of many people.

A reporter interviewed the parents of five children, listened to their recovery stories and shared their coping experiences. These children ranged in age from 6 months to 14 years old, and all of them had fever. For children with mild symptoms, their parents didn't even take medicine. Some children have persistent high fever with other symptoms. Parents use routine drugs and physical cooling to relieve symptoms.

Jia Jia, 8 years old.

Symptoms: low fever, above 38℃

Coping style: get enough sleep, drink lemonade without medication.

A week ago, Wang Yong in Shenyang started to work at home, and her 8-year-old daughter Jia Jia also took classes online at home. Her wife was responsible for taking care of the daily life of the family.

65438+February 1 1, Wang Yong and Jia Jia both had low fever, headache, joint pain, listlessness and other symptoms. I was worried that going to the hospital would infect others, and the symptoms were not serious. My family did not go to the hospital for nucleic acid testing.

Wang Yong's test results

The next day, Wang Yong received three kinds of antigen detection reagents from friends. After testing, Wang Yong and Jia Jia were positive, while his wife was negative. Wang Yong was prepared for the infection of himself and his family.

Wang Yong said that Jia Jia had a low fever for two days. Above 37.3℃ on the first day and above 38℃ on the second day. Her throat coughed up phlegm, but fortunately, her daughter didn't feel sore all over and slept well. She can fall asleep when she lies down at night, and she won't be woken up with a fever in the middle of the night. She can also take classes online during the day. "These two nights, we all slept at 8 o'clock and got up at 7 o'clock in the morning. After getting up, everyone will drink a large glass of lemonade. "

After the infection, Wang Yong and her daughter did not take medication. In Wang Yong's view, although they have symptoms, they are not serious. "At that time, I thought that more rest and more water should relieve the symptoms." /kloc-On 0/3, the father and daughter who had rested for two days had no other symptoms and no fever except occasional cough.

Wang Yongjia is an apartment with an area of more than 40 square meters. There is no spare room in the house to live alone. At present, although the outdoor temperature in Shenyang is as low as MINUS 10 degrees, they insist on opening the window for half an hour every afternoon.

These days, the only thing that makes Wang Yong happy is that his wife hasn't shown any symptoms, and she joked with him that she is the "selected cook" in the family.

13 night, Wang Yong and Jia Jia regained a lot of appetite. Wang Yong's wife prepared two authentic northeast dishes for them: dried pepper and stewed beans with potatoes. Before infection, Wang Yong saw many self-reported videos posted by infected people on the Internet, telling the experiences of different stages after infection. Only after the real infection did he really realize that other people's experience can only be used for reference. Every family and infected people have different life and physical conditions. We should take appropriate measures according to the actual situation and believe that science does not blindly follow.

7-year-old Lele

Symptoms: cough, high fever as high as 40℃

Coping style: take medicine strictly on time, butyl phenol+children's cold medicine.

Compared with Wang Yong and Jiajia, and the Zou Rong family in Wuhan, Hubei, the symptoms are more obvious.

Zou Rong's family was first infected by his seven-year-old son Lele. Zou Rong said that his son is allergic and goes to the hospital for desensitization every month. On February 9, 65438, she took her son to the hospital for an injection. Before leaving, they put on N95 masks and tried their best to take preventive measures to reduce the chance of infection, but they were eventually infected. From the next day, my son began to have cough symptoms. Because of my son's physique, I used to cough in different seasons. In addition, the purchased test reagent had not arrived yet, and at that time she was not sure whether her son was positive. But in the afternoon, Lele had a fever of 39.5℃, and she realized that her son was probably infected. 1 1 that day, she took her child to a small hospital and did a nucleic acid test. The result was really positive.

Zou Rong said that his son continued to have a high fever for two days last weekend, and his body temperature exceeded 40 degrees at the highest. However, she did not prescribe Chinese medicine and western medicine to her son at will, but asked her son to take ibuprofen suspension in strict accordance with the time. But on Sunday night, she was a little anxious. A doctor told her that if the child had a high fever for three days and didn't take medicine, he needed to go to the hospital. Fortunately, on Monday morning, my son had turned into a low-grade fever. Medication has also changed from ibuprofen to cold medicine for children.

In addition to a fever, Lele has vomiting and diarrhea, general weakness and listlessness. He has been lying in bed for the past two days, but he has no symptoms of taste and smell failure. Because of his poor health, Zou Rong's son had to take sick leave and make up the online class for live broadcast.

It's not just the son who is infected. From Monday 12, Zou Rong and her husband began to have a high fever, with unspeakable pain in muscles, bones and even ligaments, accompanied by cough. This feeling is very different from a cold. The results of nucleic acid test showed that both of them were positive. The task of taking care of the family can only be taken by two people in turn. Whoever is in better health will get up to cook, take care of others, have a fever and fall into bed after the discomfort intensifies.

Cooking at home has become very easy these days because of my bad appetite. Basically drink porridge and eat noodles, and the diet is light.

These nights after the infection are particularly difficult for Zou Rong's family, and a stable sleep is particularly precious. The antipyretics they take have the effect of relieving pain. People will feel much better after taking them and can sleep for several hours. But in the middle of the night, I will wake up with a high fever because of the medicine.

Because of the different time intervals of taking medicine, Zou Rong not only recorded the temperature changes of a family of three, but also recorded the time when everyone took medicine. Before the intermission, sometimes even if the husband and son wake up with a high fever in the middle of the night, they can't take antipyretics immediately.

Zou Rong didn't know where his son was infected, but he faced it normally. When his physical discomfort is not serious, he takes the time to sleep and promotes recovery.

6 months old Rongrong

Symptoms: Recurrent fever.

Coping style: take temperature every two hours, take medicine+physical cooling.

Taking care of infected children is especially difficult for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping's 6-month-old daughter Rong Rong, who lives in Hebei Province, developed fever on February 9, 65438. In the morning, her temperature rose to 38.7℃, and her antigen reagent test was positive. Chen Ping has been wiping the child's body with warm water, hoping to control the child's body temperature within 38.5℃. However, the child's body temperature has been maintained at a high level of 38.6 C, and even has an upward trend.

"After a fever, the whole child will subside, because he is too young to express himself and can only keep whining." Chen Ping said that she was very uncomfortable when she saw the child uncomfortable. Because of the high fever, she gave the child a little ibuprofen and ate half of it in strict accordance with the instructions. After taking the medicine, the child's temperature gradually began to drop. However, in those two days, the child will still have a fever repeatedly. This is the main symptom of Chen Ping's daughter after infection.

Chen Ping will often take the child's temperature at intervals of about 2 hours. If you find that your child has a high fever, use ibuprofen or Tylenol to reduce the fever. If the fever is not very severe, feed ordinary antipyretics. Like Zou Rong, she doesn't often give drugs to her children, but strictly follows the instructions.

Chen Ping posted a cooling sticker for her daughter.

In addition to drug treatment, Chen Ping will also wipe her body with warm water, put on a cooling paste, and physically cool down. When wiping, focus on places with high temperature such as underarms or feet. In addition to being attached to the forehead, the cooling patch is also attached to the carotid artery of the neck to help the child cool down.

Two days ago, the child basically had no appetite. Chen Ping has always insisted on breastfeeding to supplement children's nutrition. After the child was infected, she was particularly dependent on her. Basically, she doesn't want to go down all day, and even if she falls asleep, it is difficult to put it on the bed. After putting it down, the child will wake up and cry. She sat in bed almost all night coaxing the children. Although Chen Ping herself is infected with COVID-19 virus and feels unwell, she still needs to take good care of the children.

Chen Ping takes her daughter's temperature.

On the third day, the child's state has been much better. Chen Ping found that the child's temperature has dropped to 37℃, and her spirit and appetite have slowly recovered. She can start eating milk powder, and she can clearly feel that children drink more water and are willing to smile at adults. However, Chen Ping tested the child with antigen reagents, and the results were still two columns.

In addition, the child also had diarrhea and a slight cough, but as the diarrhea passed, the child gradually improved. On the fourth day, the child basically recovered.

Chen Ping said that overall, the main symptom of her daughter's infection is fever, which exceeds 39℃ at the highest, but there are no cold symptoms such as nasal congestion. Therefore, after the child developed related symptoms, she was not in a hurry to take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child is less than one year old, it is easy to increase the risk of infection during medical treatment. Moreover, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in winter in the north is large, so it is necessary to keep the children warm, otherwise the symptoms may be aggravated. Because the child's symptoms are relatively simple, after the infection, Chen Ping's husband went to the Children's Hospital to consult the doctor about medication. However, Chen Ping believes that it is necessary to reserve the necessary drugs in order to deal with them in time. After the child is infected, it is necessary to monitor the child's temperature.

Tong Tong, two and a half years old.

Symptoms: sore throat, recurrent high fever.

Coping style: eat ice cream+take a warm bath to cool down

Like Chen Ping, since February 9, 65438, the Li Xuan family in Baoding, Hebei Province has also been infected with COVID-19.

Li Xuan's two-and-a-half-year-old son, Tong Tong, was the first to be infected. Li Xuan recalled that from mid-June165438+February 9, the child hardly went downstairs, but on the evening of June 65438+February 9, the younger son still had symptoms of sore throat, as if there was a foreign body in his throat, and there were no other symptoms. She didn't care.

Test results of Li Xuan's son's antigen

However, at 2 am on 10, my son began to toss and turn in bed. Li Xuan reached out to touch his forehead and found that the child had a fever. The thermometer shows that his son's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius. That night, Li Xuan tested the child with antigen reagent, and the result was negative. No one else in the family had any symptoms at that time. She thought that the child was just a common cold, so she gave the child 50 mg of ibuprofen and wiped it with warm water to cool the child down. After about two hours, the child's temperature returned to normal.

10 in the morning, about 10, my son had a fever of 38.5℃. "At that time, I felt that my son might be infected with COVID-19, so I tested it again with antigen reagent, and this time it was positive." Li Xuan said that she is the deputy chief physician of a local hospital, and she didn't know whether the virus was brought home after going out to work.

Because the child had a high fever, Li Xuan not only gave the child ibuprofen, but also gave him antiviral oral liquid. Oral liquid has bitter taste, and children don't want to drink it. Li Xuan poured the oral liquid into a bowl, added water and honey, and let the children drink the medicine.

On the day of 10, Li Xuan's son had a high fever until the afternoon, and the highest temperature reached 39.5℃. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xuan gave his son acetaminophen suppository. Two hours later, the child's fever dropped and he was refreshed. But I didn't expect that after dinner, he began to have a fever again and continued to have a high fever until the next morning. During this period, Li Xuan also gave his son medicine, but the effect was not obvious. Because of his high fever, Li Xuan didn't cover his son with a quilt at night, but covered his stomach with a small towel, exposing his arms and legs. Li Xuan said that the child also ate an ice cream and took a hot bath to cool down that night.

1 1 At noon, Li Xuan found that his son had a fever again, but his temperature was not as high as that of the previous two days. Because her son didn't want to take any more medicine, Li Xuan used physical methods to calm the child down. When my son went to bed in the afternoon, the fever basically went down. After the fever went down, my son had diarrhea twice. Since then, I have not had any symptoms of illness, and my spirit is good, but my sleep is not as good as before.

Li Xuan also has a 14 year old daughter, Jessica Hester Hsuan. 1 1 My daughter also developed fever in the morning, and her antigen self-test was positive. However, the symptoms are different from those of children. The temperature of fever is lower than that of children, but there are toothache, joint pain and leg pain. Li Xuan mainly gives her daughter antiviral oral liquid and Lianhua Qingwen granules, and ibuprofen when she has a fever. As time went on, the symptoms of my daughter's fever and pain gradually weakened. Li Xuan speculated that her daughter would be completely better on the fourth or fifth day.

"Although our family members are infected with COVID-19, they are basically within the controllable range, especially children, who come quickly and go quickly." Li Xuan said that as a doctor, the most important thing for her is to rely on medical knowledge to help her children reduce fever.
