Flu dangerous, what to do?
Autumn and winter, when the baby in addition to sneezing, runny nose, but also the following three symptoms, it is likely to have got the flu:
Burn fast, high fever, body temperature above 38.5 ℃, even eat antipyretics is hard to fever;

Moms can control the above criteria, make their own basic judgments. However, even if the baby really had a flu, mothers do not be too nervous, there are several common errors must be avoided:
► Go to the hospital once the flu is found
Even if the baby is really a flu, Mom and Dad also do not hesitate to run to the hospital with a baby, the hospital surging crowd, pediatric parents and children queuing long queue, see the doctor before the parents themselves put themselves Frightened.
In fact, the early flu was totally nursing at home. A temperature increase to see the children go out to see a doctor, found a baby cough anxious to find a doctor prescribing, in fact, the condition is detrimental.
Many people in the hospital, the virus and more frequently to bring the baby blindly to the hospital but will increase the chances of other virus infections.

► Take your medicine immediately as your temperature rises
Only when the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, they need to take anti-fever drugs.
Currently widely used in all countries in the world, the WHO recommended anti-fever drugs are mainly two kinds: acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Clinicians usually recommend using acetaminophen for more than 3 months and taking ibuprofen for more than 6 months. In accordance with the drug instructions, according to the baby's weight in accordance with the dose and time interval on it. General body temperature will be reduced within an hour.
As long as the body temperature is reduced to below 38.5 on it, do not blindly seek to reduce to 36.5 degrees, can not be mixed with several anti-fever drugs. As long as the baby took the antipyretic good spirit, you do not need to go to the hospital.
In addition, parents do not according to their own experience free to use antibiotics to the baby, because antibiotics do not have the function of antipyretic, can not cure the flu.

► old method to give the baby fever ×
Some parents worry that drugs have an impact on their children and would rather believe some old traditions, covering their sweat, ginger soup, and alcohol scrubs. These methods are actually very undesirable.
Young baby's sweat gland development is not yet complete, not only can not cover the heat encountered fever, but also need to pay attention to heat, do not wear too much clothing, do not cover too thick quilt to prevent the baby because of body temperature caused by fainting .
Flu is usually accompanied by throat discomfort, spicy ginger soup will have a stimulating effect, to alleviate the condition is not much help, drink plenty of fluids to pay attention to add body fluids on the line.
If you do not want to take medicine temporarily, you can consider physical cooling method, but only with water or warm water bath. The alcohol easily absorbed by the baby by the skin, resulting in alcoholism, may not be able to play a very good cooling effect.
The current market ibuprofen and other anti-fever drugs as long as strictly in accordance with medical advice to take, will not bring any harm to the baby.

Note that the following situations do not need to go to the hospital:
If the baby is in good health, she can cry;
Normal appetite or slightly diminished normal stool;
Antipyretics take 1 hour to reduce body temperature.
Mom and Dad at this time can choose to take care of your baby at home. Baby in a familiar environment, comfortable space more relaxed, conducive to the relief of flu conditions.
This situation to the hospital for the first time:
If the baby taking anti-fever drugs such as ibuprofen are still high fever, and apathetic, lethargy, convulsions, etc., should be the first time to the hospital.
to sum up:
Baby does not need to go to the hospital early in the flu, can be at home care, monitoring at any time.
If you have a fever, you can use physical methods at home or antipyretic drugs to cool down, do not superstition, the old tradition to sweat the baby.
If the baby is good spirit, good appetite, normal stool do not need to go to the hospital, such as course of a week after the natural end just fine.

How to prevent flu?
Instead of getting a flu goofy, mothers are even more concerned about holding up an umbrella for their baby in advance and refusing the flu at home. Well, the mothers group widely circulated a small coup, "eat more vitamin C can prevent the flu", "room vinegar anti-virus", "Banlangen prevent influenza" a "garlic" fly it?
Unfortunately, these are all wrong.
Long-term eating vitamin C may shorten the course of a cold, but can not prevent the flu.
Smoked vinegar on the flu is invalid. If the family has respiratory allergies, asthma history of children and the elderly, vinegar is also likely to induce respiratory diseases.
There is no evidence that radix islaria can prevent flu and flu, nor is it recommended to the baby easily.
Garlic has a bactericidal effect, but it has no effect on the flu virus.
To date, there are no drugs that really prevent the flu virus.
However, in daily life, we can still improve the baby's immunity and reduce the impact of the influenza virus by cultivating good habits of the baby.

How to vaccinate flu?
At present, flu vaccination is the most effective way to proactively prevent influenza virus.
Flu is not a cold, but the short name of influenza, is caused by the flu virus respiratory disease.
The influenza virus is a variable gene that can easily and repeatedly spread in the human population. Because of the unique nature of the influenza virus, influenza vaccine is the only vaccine that requires annual vaccination.
Therefore, there are influenza vaccines among the two vaccines most preferentially given to children recommended by the WHO World Health Organization.

Because influenza vaccines are developed against the latest influenza virus of the year, influenza vaccine is marketed from September to October every year, just in time for vaccination in autumn and winter to effectively prevent influenza in autumn and winter.
According to the recommendations of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, children aged 6 months to 4 years should receive a flu vaccine every year. Mothers bring their baby and vaccine to community health centers and can be vaccinated if there is not any physical discomfort.
Doctors generally recommend that children under 8 years of age receive 2 doses at the first inoculation and 1 dose at intervals of 1 month. Such preventive effect is better than that of 1-time vaccination. Vaccination needs to be observed in the community hospital 30 minutes before leaving, and a class of vaccines vaccination process is consistent.

to sum up:
Influenza is a self-healing virus that normally heals naturally within a week and can be treated at home and need to go to a hospital when necessary. Doing a good job in preventing influenza, in addition to traditional washing hands, ventilation and exercise, the most effective prevention method is vaccination in autumn and winter every year.
