Children's summer health knowledge and common sense of life

Children's summer health knowledge

First, encourage children to drink more boiled water: various drinks such as soda, juice, cola, etc. It contains more sugar and electrolyte. Excessive intake will not only affect children's tooth development, but also affect their appetite and digestive function, resulting in overweight and obesity. Boiled water can be metabolized immediately after entering the human body, which has the functions of regulating body temperature, transporting nutrition and cleaning toxins in the body.

Second, the diet should pay attention to nutritional balance: in summer, children's diet should also be diversified, avoiding a single light, fresh fish, fresh meat, fresh eggs, pig liver and so on. (It can be made into minced fish, minced meat and porridge at the end of liver, which is easy to digest and nutritious), or it is also a good way to replace meat with high-protein foods such as tofu, milk, fruits and vegetables.

Third, avoid eating too many cold fruits and vegetables. There are many kinds of fruits and vegetables in summer, so parents often make some refreshing cold dishes. If you accidentally let your baby eat too many cold fruits and vegetables, it will lead to digestive system disorder, vomiting and diarrhea. When the child is uncomfortable, it is recommended to seek medical advice to understand the symptoms.

Fourth, the nap time should not be too long: the temperature at noon in summer, parents hope that the baby will sleep more and move less. But after sleeping for more than 80 minutes during the day, if the child suddenly wakes up at this time, there will be a strong sense of discomfort.

5. It is not advisable to take a cold shower after sweating: children are naturally active and easy to sweat in summer. Parents should pay attention not to take a cold shower when their children are sweating. If you wash with cold water after sweating, the pores of the whole body will close quickly, and the heat cannot be distributed and stored in the body, which will affect the body function. Some cold viruses will take advantage of it and the baby will get sick easily. Therefore, a better way to cool down is to take a warm bath half an hour after exercise, which is more conducive to regulating body temperature and relaxing the whole body muscle tissue.

6. Air conditioning should not be turned on for too long: rooms that use air conditioning for a long time have less fresh air content and dry rooms because the doors and windows are closed. The moisture regulation ability of children's skin is far less than that of adults, and it is easy to get tired after staying for a long time. In addition, long-term exposure to cold and dry air will reduce the resistance of respiratory tract and digestive tract, and some viruses and bacteria will take advantage of it, which can cause upper respiratory tract infection and diarrhea.

Pay attention to calcium supplementation: According to the data, summer is also a high incidence period of rickets in children. When the weather is hot, children's appetite is bad, their appetite is reduced, and their calcium intake from food is correspondingly reduced. Coupled with sweating, calcium loss is more. At the same time, there are not many opportunities for children to bask in the sun and have outdoor activities in summer. In this way, it is not difficult to understand that the intake of calcium is small, the output is increased, and rickets is prone to occur. The preventive measure is to take appropriate calcium tablets and vitamin D under the guidance of a doctor.

Common sense of children's life in summer

First, prevent heatstroke.

In summer, when the temperature is high, people sweat a lot, so they can't replenish water and salt in time, or they will get heatstroke if they are exposed to the hot sun for too long, and children are no exception. Therefore, young parents should be careful not to let their children play in the scorching sun. Children should wear sun hats when going out, eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, and drink more sugar water, salt water, mung bean soup, sour plum soup and watermelon juice.

Second, the prevention and treatment of diarrhea

Diarrhea is a frequently-occurring disease of children in summer. In severe cases, it will affect children's nutrition absorption and health. To prevent children's diarrhea, we need scientific, regular and quantitative feeding, and pay attention to utensils, food and personal hygiene.

Third, prevent skin diseases.

Children's skin diseases that often occur in summer include miliaria, boils, pustules and infections caused by mosquito bites. To prevent these skin diseases, we should pay attention to children's personal hygiene and mosquito prevention, take a bath and change clothes frequently, keep clothes clean and dry, and cut nails frequently to prevent infection and suppuration caused by scratching the skin.

Fourth, prevent intestinal infectious diseases.

Hot summer is the epidemic season of various intestinal infectious diseases, such as bacillary dysentery, typhoid fever and hepatitis. These infectious diseases are spread through diet or food. Therefore, we should pay special attention to children's food hygiene and personal hygiene. Don't eat rotten rice and rotten fruit, don't eat cold drinks and cold food, don't eat raw aquatic products, wash your hands before and after meals, so that good diseases don't enter your mouth.

Children's summer disease prevention knowledge

Dermatosis: Young children's delicate skin is easily damaged by viruses, bacteria and other factors, causing local skin redness, inflammation and miliaria. Rash can occur in all parts of the body, mostly in the head, face, neck, chest and buttocks, accompanied by itching and slight burning sensation, which is easy to form cysts and folliculitis. It is easy to become impetigo after scratching.

Pustulosis is an infectious skin disease. Severe children will have swollen lymph nodes and fever, and some will be complicated with sepsis, rheumatic fever and acute nephritis in children.

To prevent miliaria and impetigo, it is mainly to keep the skin clean, take a bath frequently and change sweaty clothes in time. Children with prickly heat should not scratch, burn with hot water or alkaline soap, or stimulate with cold water. They should bathe in warm water and apply antipruritics. In addition, to make children drink more water and replenish water in time, you can eat more mung bean soup, winter melon soup, watermelon and honeysuckle dew. , will play a role in removing summer heat, dehumidification and detoxification. For children with impetigo, it is necessary to take a bath and cut their nails frequently, and apply purple liquid medicine, chlortetracycline, neomycin and other ointments to the pustule. It is forbidden to abuse hormone ointment such as "skin relaxation" to prevent the spread of skin lesions and aggravate the condition. For some children with poor mental health, loss of appetite and mild facial swelling, it is necessary to be alert to acute nephritis and conduct routine urine examination. Those who are diagnosed with nephritis should be treated as soon as possible.

Intestinal diseases: Children are prone to acute gastroenteritis, diarrhea, bacillary dysentery and other intestinal diseases in summer. Intestinal diseases in summer are mainly bacterial infections. Because of the high temperature and the rapid propagation of germs, all kinds of food, water, drinks and articles are easily contaminated by germs. In addition, children have weak intestinal resistance and poor self-care awareness. Eating food contaminated with germs is more likely to get sick. In addition, cold and heat, overeating and overeating can all cause digestive system disorders and intestinal diseases.

Children with intestinal diseases, in addition to treatment according to the doctor's requirements, family care is extremely important. Children with diarrhea have frequent defecation, so they should be washed with warm water after each defecation to keep the anus clean. Replenish water and electrolyte in time, and take oral liquid and sugar salt water several times. Reasonable arrangement of diet, you can give rice soup oil broth, skim milk and yogurt, porridge, soft noodle soup and so on. After diarrhea is slightly relieved, you can give a diet with low residue, less oil, less sugar and no gas production, such as rice porridge, lotus root starch, egg drop soup, noodles, fish paste, broken lean meat, fruit juice and so on. Avoid irritating food, fermented flatulence food, high-fat and high-protein food, and eat less and more meals.

The key to prevent intestinal diseases is to ensure that the disease enters the mouth. Avoid overeating and let children wash their hands before and after meals. Wash and peel melons and fruits, don't drink raw water, don't eat expired and spoiled food, and don't buy "three noes" food. Try to eat less cold drinks, because the germs in cold drinks won't freeze to death. Eat less stall food, stewed vegetables and cooked food, which is easy to deteriorate and be polluted in summer. The leftovers in the refrigerator should be reheated before eating. 4. Japanese encephalitis: Japanese encephalitis is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes. The incidence of Japanese encephalitis is seasonal, and 90% of patients occur in July, August and September, especially children aged 2-7. When a child is ill, it is often an acute attack. Their body temperature is as high as 39 ~ 40 degrees within 1 ~ 2 days, accompanied by headache, nausea and jet vomiting. At the same time, it is often accompanied by drowsiness and mental fatigue, followed by confusion, convulsions and even respiratory failure, which is life-threatening. Once a child is infected with Japanese encephalitis, it will not only bring physical diseases, but also serious neurological sequelae such as aphasia, dysphagia and limb movement disorders.

Since the implementation of planned immunization, preschool children have been vaccinated with Japanese encephalitis virus, and the number of children suffering from Japanese encephalitis has decreased significantly, but the protection rate after vaccination is only 76% ~ 90%, which still cannot be taken lightly. At the same time, in popular seasons and regions, teachers and parents should raise awareness of disease prevention, install screen windows outdoors, eliminate mosquitoes and prevent mosquito bites.
