Basic advice on how to take care of your baby in the event of an infection “RSV” In case of infection in young children, such as under 2 years of age, if infection is suspected “RSV” and I have a lot of mucus
1. Try to avoid using any type of nasal decongestant. Because the medicine will make the mucus sticky. and sticky sputum If there is an infection in the trachea The sputum is large and sticky. making coughing more difficult and can cause the need to go to the hospital to spray and suck up phlegm
2. In children who are sick and have a history of touching patients “RSV” Obviously, if the main symptom is in the nose and throat, such as a lot of mucus, most of the cough will be due to the runny nose. If you are not breathing Unnecessary nebulisation of the aerosol should be avoided. because this small droplet It can cause infections from the upper nasal cavity up to the lower nostril through the nebulizer Especially if the child does not cooperate in spraying. Crying or choking while spraying more chance Infected in the lower respiratory tract
unless there are symptoms of bronchospasm wheezing from the physical exam This may require the use of a nebulizer. who asked to be at the discretion of the caretaker at that point the important thing is he should focus on clearing nasal mucus I always repeat. as soon as the mucus
3. during infection Do not let him be dehydrated. Attempt drink water or sip water frequently because dehydration It will make the mucus dry and sticky. This makes it difficult to expel the mucus. This could cause the child to be hospitalized.
4. Quickly cope with a high fever The vast majority of children are infected. “RSV” The onset is often symptomatic. high fever which high fever will cause a higher metabolic process There is an increase in carbon dioxide If the breathing is not good by respiratory tract Inflammation, swelling, a lot of sputum from infection This rash will be worsened. and may worsen the child’s symptoms. It is therefore important to reduce the fever. and it should be done ASAP.The method is very simple, cleaning, using antipyretic drugs, paracetamol if appropriate. can relieve symptoms of fever Can help reduce the severity of the disease.
These four are the basic principles of care. I recommend patients AND have been using it for 10 years in which I have been caring for patients. and take care of my children when they are infected If you can do everything and not get better. He has more breathlessness, tighter breathing, eats less, refuses to eat, especially water and milk. It is advisable to consult a doctor urgently.please
