Hidden dangers of children traveling abroad.

Summer vacation is coming, and many parents have plans to take their children out to play. In the pleasant and exciting journey, there is one thing that cannot be sloppy, and that is the safety of children! Let me tell you 90%, let's have a look!

Safety hazards of acute otitis media in children traveling abroad, be careful when flying.

Some children will travel by air. However, children with acute otitis media will have severe earache during the take-off and landing of aircraft, which will lead to tympanic membrane pressure injury, tympanic membrane bleeding, middle ear effusion and even tympanic membrane perforation.

But we don't have to talk about the color change of the plane because of this. When the plane takes off and lands, if the child is awake, he can chew gum or swallow food, while the baby sucks the bottle or nipple. This can help open the eustachian tube, balance the middle ear pressure and cabin pressure, and avoid air pressure injury.

Older children can also try to take a deep breath, then hold their breath and exhale again to reduce stress imbalance.

But if it is severe otitis media, or in the process of treatment, please consult your doctor further.

Children can't forget sunglasses for sun protection.

In summer, the sun is dazzling, especially when you go to the seaside for vacation. Sunscreen is essential.

What? Are you worried that children will be allergic to adult sunscreen? Are you worried that the chemicals in sunscreen will affect children's health? You're out!

Children's skin is more delicate than that of adults, and it is easy to get sunburned. Many big-name cosmetics on the market have children's sun protection. Please pay attention to the sun protection index (not a boastful natural ingredient) when buying. After buying it, apply a small amount to the inside of the child's wrist or behind his ear to see if there is any allergic phenomenon.

It should be pointed out here that:

Apply 20-30 minutes before going out.

Sunscreen is effective only when it reaches a certain thickness, but it should not be too thick to avoid putting a burden on the skin.

Babies within 6 months can't take a beach bath. Children before the age of 7 should wear T-shirts and apply sunscreen to exposed limbs and face.

Sun protection is required in rainy and cloudy days.

Apply sunscreen repeatedly every 2-3 hours.

Sunglasses, sunglasses, sunglasses! Say the important things three times, and wear sunglasses for the children. Sun protection is not only for the skin, but also for our precious eyes!

Emergency rescue of drowning, pressing and breathing

Do you believe online rumors or are you a professional emergency doctor?

Yes! I'm talking about something circulating in Weibo some time ago? First aid for children with backward backs? That's completely harmful!

First of all, children's metabolism is strong, their dependence on oxygen is higher than that of adults, and their physical strength is weak, so after drowning, their breathing and heartbeat can stop within three minutes. So, what is the first rule to prevent drowning? Never let children leave your sight and play by the water alone!

If it is fresh water drowning, the water in the lungs is quickly absorbed into the blood by alveoli due to low permeability, which increases the blood volume and leads to congestive heart failure, which in turn leads to cardiac arrest and death. If it is seawater drowning, due to hyperosmotic, a large amount of serum enters alveoli, leading to hypovolemic shock and severe pulmonary edema.

In either case, clean the respiratory tract after the rescue ashore, clean up the vomit as soon as possible, and start cardiopulmonary resuscitation after two artificial breaths.

Before the emergency personnel arrive at the scene, do their best to continue the extracorporeal cardiac compression. Those with first aid knowledge can cooperate with the presser to do artificial respiration (30: 2) and wait for the emergency personnel to arrive at the scene.

Such a critical situation, it is better not to happen, even if it is recovered at that time, there are still some serious complications such as cardiopulmonary circulation failure, brain edema and lung infection waiting behind!

It is essential to go out with a first aid kit.

For a mother who is prone to panic, a home first aid kit may be useless. If you can't remember how to deal with an emergency, you might as well remember the emergency telephone number 120 or 999.

Generally speaking, children are active and bumping is inevitable, so you can prepare some disposable cotton swabs in the first aid kit and put alcohol or iodine in it. If part of the skin is damaged, it can be disinfected with complex iodine first, and then iodine is removed with alcohol to avoid pigmentation. In addition, band-aid is also essential.

It is not recommended to keep cold medicine or fever medicine at hand. When it is needed, it is often found that it has expired. Generally speaking, children have a cold and a fever. If there are no other complications, such as febrile convulsion, jet vomiting, severe diarrhea, etc. It is not recommended to check blood routine within 24 hours. Physical cooling is not recommended now, especially with diluted alcohol! If the child feels unwell with a fever, take antipyretics orally first. We usually go to the drugstore to buy reliable antipyretics when we have time.

Humidification is the key to prevent air conditioning diseases.

Hot weather not only affects appetite, but also affects sleep, leading to unreliable sleep. In addition, children are active and sensitive to heat, so be sure to turn on the air conditioner. But parents say that as long as the air conditioner is turned on, the child will catch a cold and have a fever. what can I do?

After the air conditioner is turned on, there is something called condensed water, which is the moisture in the indoor air. During the operation of the air conditioner, it will take away a lot of water, resulting in dry indoor air. Dry air will dry the mucous epithelium of the respiratory tract and even produce small cracks, which will allow bacteria and viruses to invade. Therefore, when you turn on the air conditioner, you should pay attention to the indoor humidity. The suitable humidity for normal life is 45-50%. You can prepare a hygrometer at home. If the air is found to be dry, turn on the humidifier while turning on the air conditioner.

In addition, after a long winter, the air conditioning filter screen should be removed and thoroughly cleaned before it is used in summer to clean up the dust accumulated on the filter screen and ensure the air quality of the cold air blown.

In summer, the air conditioning temperature should not be too low, the suitable temperature is about 26℃, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, just control it at 5-8℃.

When swimming in the water, pull your ears and hop.

If there is water in your left ear, lift your right foot, tilt your head to the left, and hop. Water can generally be controlled. The water in the right ear jumps in the other direction. In addition, you can pull the auricle outward and upward to straighten the ear canal, which is beneficial to the discharge of water.

Don't put a cotton swab in your ear to absorb water, which will easily damage the eardrum.

If you feel stuffy in your ears all the time, you can't hear clearly, and you can't discharge water with one foot jump, you need to go to the otolaryngology department and let the doctor take an otoscope to see if there is otitis media.

Note: the ground is slippery, whether it is water in the ears when taking a bath or water when swimming. Pay attention to safety when jumping on one foot to avoid slipping and falling.

Be bitten by a pet and wash with soapy water.

Teach children how to touch pets, in a word: only watch from a distance, not play nearby.

In case of being bitten by a cat or dog, wash the wound with running soapy water at the first time 10 minutes or more. If it is a strange cat or dog, it is recommended to get a vaccine. If you are bitten by your own cat or dog, pay attention to observation. Cats and dogs are safe without abnormality within a week. Provided that your pet is vaccinated regularly.

Don't care too much about foreign mosquito bites.

Especially in the tropics and subtropics, don't be afraid of heat. When traveling in forests, grasslands and bushes, wear tight trousers and long-sleeved clothes, and apply mosquito repellent to exposed places. Once there is an unknown mosquito bite, don't scratch it with your hands desperately, because if you catch it, you will be at risk of infection. Use some cool and antipruritic liquid in moderation.

If there is obvious swelling, it is likely that there is an allergic reaction and it is sent to the local hospital for further treatment.

My stomach is upset.

Acclimatization is a common saying in China, which often occurs in long-distance travel. In the final analysis, or does the human body need a time to adapt, especially the child's gastrointestinal tract is fragile and sensitive, so it is easy to appear? Not acclimatized? .

Therefore, in order to avoid temporarily losing the chain on the way, try not to change too many children's living habits, ensure fresh vegetables and fruits every day, eat meat, eggs, fish and shrimp regularly, and ensure adequate sleep. In places with great climate change (such as large temperature difference in mountainous areas), pay attention to adding clothes in the morning and evening, and don't overwork.

Frequently asked questions on travel how to relieve earache when flying?

Stay awake and don't sleep when the plane lands, so as to implement the method of relieving earache. Swallowing, chewing, yawning and breathing through the mouth are all helpful to relieve earache.

If you don't want to eat snacks or pretend to swallow or yawn, you can try the eustachian tube inflation method: inhale first, then hold your nose, close your mouth and exhale slowly. You can feel the swelling of the eardrum and hear the muffled sound. Poof? Because gas is pushed into the middle ear. If your nose is blocked, you will hear a sharp sound.

If the journey is more than 6 hours, it is best to walk slowly, stretch your legs and move your feet; If you can choose the aisle position, it is more conducive to your own activities; When you really have no choice, you can try knee-high compression socks.

Correct method of time difference

In the first few days of the journey, deliberately adapt your body to the new schedule. If you fly east, go to bed early; if you fly west, go to bed late.

Drink more water and less coffee on the plane. After arriving at your destination, eating more protein for breakfast can help you stay awake. Eating can help the body adapt to the new rhythm as soon as possible.

Get more sunshine at your destination. Studies have shown that light can help people better adjust their biological clocks. If you are really sleepy during the day, take a short sleep, but not more than an hour. Exercise moderately, and you'd better go out for a walk during the day.

Some people will take sleeping pills to help them sleep. However, it should be noted that sleeping pills may be very effective for insomnia at night, but they are powerless for daytime sleepiness, and there will be side effects such as headaches. So, if you want to take sleeping pills, don't last too many days.

▋ Close your eyes and cut off the visual signal, which can relieve the feeling of motion sickness a little, even better if you can fall asleep. If the brain is in a busy state, it inhibits the feeling of vestibule and also helps to prevent carsickness, such as chatting and listening to songs.

▋ Take diphenhydramine, which is a carsick drug, an antiallergic and hypnotic drug, which can calm down and stop vomiting.

Avoid altitude sickness

The higher you climb, the easier it is to get altitude sickness. In addition, if you have been living in a low altitude area and just got sick, the probability of altitude sickness is quite high.

It is said that the stronger people are, the easier it is to get altitude sickness, but from the etiology, altitude sickness itself is not necessarily related to strong people. In some cases, strong people may be more prone to altitude sickness, because they climb faster and exercise less than people with poor physical strength.

What about carsickness?

Prepare commonly used drugs

When traveling, if you have some minor health problems, it may be inconvenient to find a local hospital or pharmacy, and you can prepare some commonly used drugs.

Whether you have a history of motion sickness/seasickness/airsickness, you should take some anti-motion sickness medicine just in case. Anti-allergic drugs, because go to strange places, diet, environment, etc. May cause allergies.

Antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as acetaminophen, are effective for fever, headache and muscle pain. Drugs for increasing gastrointestinal motility and regulating intestinal flora.

Drugs needed for trauma, such as band-AIDS, alcohol cotton balls/iodophor cotton balls, are packed in portable and sealable containers.

Commonly used drugs

Pay attention to the regulations of various countries when carrying drugs.

Many countries are very strict about carrying drugs, including traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Customs may inspect drugs, so you must know the relevant regulations of the country you are going to before going abroad to avoid unnecessary trouble.

▋ It is best to carry drugs with original labels and instructions for use, even doctors' prescriptions, especially sleeping pills, sedatives and painkillers.

Sunscreen skills

▋ When going out on vacation, especially when going to the mountains and the seaside, it is recommended to use sunscreen products with high PA index to fight against persistent UVA damage, even in rainy days and winter.

In summer, 10 is the strongest in the morning to 4 pm, and the UVA intensity is very strong all day. In addition to paying attention to applying sunscreen with high SPF, we should also try to avoid going out at this time and reduce the time of exposure to the sun.

▋ Use shelters wisely. Try to walk in the shade, such as the shadow of trees, awnings and tall buildings; Wear protective clothing and sunglasses, but chiffon or tulle is not recommended, and the shading effect is average.

▋ Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection index (SPF) of 15+ and apply it 15-20 minutes before going out. If the sunscreen is not waterproof and easy to sweat, it is best to apply it every 2-3 hours.

Sunlight resistance

Correct repair after sun protection

▋: If you really get sunburned, you should quickly use cold compress to lower the local temperature, but you can't use ice. Use after-sun repair products after the temperature drops, and recommend those with anti-inflammatory effect.

The next few days will focus on basic care. Do not use irritating functional cosmetics, such as salicylic acid and fruit acid. Don't rush to restore your complexion, wait a few days for your skin to stabilize, and then use something like a whitening mask.

How to deal with blisters on feet

When traveling, due to various reasons, blisters are often worn on the feet, and sometimes the blisters are mixed with blood. The best way to deal with them is to puncture the blisters to squeeze out the water.

▋ If possible, soak your feet in hot water for 5- 10 minutes and then dry them. Then use iodine or alcohol to partially disinfect the blisters, puncture the blisters with sterilized needles, squeeze out the liquid inside, and then stick a band-aid to protect the wounds.

Never subtract blisters when treating blisters, otherwise it will not only hurt more, affect walking, but also increase the risk of infection. Care should be taken to keep clean and disinfected after treatment. After a while, when the wound dries, the outer skin will naturally fall off.

Matters needing attention in self-help tour 1. Communicate well with your family.

Before traveling, share your itinerary with friends online, and don't forget to share it with your family. At least don't let your mother see the news of the coup in Thailand, and worry that you are in the Philippines! In case something happens, your family also knows which city you are probably in. In addition, it is best to leave a copy of the insurance policy for your family so that they can know to ask the insurance company for help in an emergency.

Second, the common sense of emergency survival

The probability of an airplane accident is very low, just like the probability of winning the lottery. Many people think they didn't win the lottery? Good luck? Therefore, it should be difficult for the air crash to affect itself.

Because of this, many people don't know what to do if there is an air crash. When an air crash comes, no one can escape, but people who know survival skills are much more likely to live than those who know nothing! Therefore, it is very important to learn some common sense of emergency survival! Even if you listen carefully to the flight attendant's emergency escape demonstration on the plane!

Third, insurance.

Why put insurance in the first place? Because China tourists tend to ignore this powerful security weapon. Many people disdain to buy insurance. Answer:? I am very experienced, so there is no need to buy insurance. ? Of course, experience can reduce the probability of danger, but what if you are unlucky? Foreign travelers attach great importance to insurance and think that insurance is as essential as air tickets.

Fourth, the emergency telephone number

Take an emergency phone number with you, and if possible, set it to speed dial or speed dial, so that you can quickly find the right person and organization when an accident happens. For example, you must know the local telephone number 1 10. For example, the emergency telephone number in the United States is 9 1 1, and the emergency telephone number in China and Hongkong is 999. If you really don't know, you can call 1 12, which is a general emergency number. In fact, even if your mobile phone has no signal, you can still dial the emergency number. Therefore, it is very necessary to travel with a mobile phone. Besides the emergency telephone number, you should also record the telephone number and address of the local consulate in China. If you lose your passport, you can at least ask the consulate what to do. What needs to be reminded here is that it is best to bring a copy of the basic page of your passport, which can help you when your passport is lost! Also write down the telephone number of SOS, the telephone number of insurance company and the English alarm line. For example, in Thailand, you must know a similar phone number. And so on, collect and print all the useful calls.

Emergency list of verbs (abbreviation of verb)

When you are in an emergency and sent to an ambulance, an emergency list with a passport may save your life! What list is this? It can contain many different things, mainly used to let others know about you in an emergency! Let me talk about my list, which is double-sided, one in Chinese and one in English. The main contents are as follows:

Personal basic information. For example, name, gender, age, this is actually a duplicate of the passport. Consider just writing your name, passport number and ID number.

Simple medical history. If you have any medical history, of course, you should write it down, as well as commonly used drugs. If there is no medical history, at least two items should be written: blood type and allergic history. You don't have to write or write without a history of allergies. Didn't find it .

Insurance status. Write down the insurance company name, insurance policy number, insurance company phone number, SOS customer number and international SOS contact number.

Emergency contact. I suggest to find someone who knows English well or at least a little as your emergency contact, because not everyone can speak Chinese abroad. If you call your dad in case something happens, and your dad doesn't understand English, it will be in trouble! You can find a classmate or friend, explain the situation to him and ask him not to turn off his phone.
