What are the different symptoms of the common cold and flu in babies?

The epidemic in children is caused by influenza and parainfluenza viruses, with an obvious epidemiological history, local symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, pharyngeal discomfort, sore throat and other symptoms are mild, and systemic symptoms are severe, such as high fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches in the limbs. Influenza is severe and long-lasting. The local symptoms of the common cold are prominent, often manifested as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, etc., and the systemic symptoms such as headache and fever are relatively mild.

Be careful not to bring children to public places during flu epidemics.

Influenza is mainly caused by viral infection, and patients mainly present with low-grade fever, headache, weakness, and enlarged tonsils. Once the patient has two diseases, he should actively go to the hospital for routine blood tests and virus isolation tests. According to the specific **, actively carry out the cause **, in order to achieve the purpose of **disease.

During the period of suffering from these two diseases, it is important to pay attention to lifestyle adjustments, ensure adequate rest time and adequate nutrition**.

Generally, if the baby is diagnosed with influenza, it is necessary to take medicine under the guidance of a doctor in time, and taking oseltamivir as soon as possible can significantly shorten the course of the child's fever. In addition to taking oseltamivir, different measures should be taken depending on your child's body temperature.

If the child's body temperature is relatively high above or above, the child should be given antipyretics in time, ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be used as antipyretics, and in addition to taking antipyretics, it is necessary to pay attention to a light diet. If the child's body temperature is not very high, you can take physical cooling methods, there are many ways to physical cooling, such as pasting antipyretic patches to the baby, or giving the baby a warm bath, and the baby should pay attention not to go out during the flu, so as not to cause the spread of the flu.

During the high incidence of influenza, the baby is susceptible to influenza virus infection because of low immunity. When you are sick, you should accept a regular **, and do not mishear that the medicine is not good for the child and do not give the child medicine, which will delay the condition. When you have the flu, your baby needs to be isolated to avoid getting infected with your family.

Let the baby rest more, drink more water, and supplement more vitamins to increase the baby's resistance. When the disease is detected, antiviral and symptomatic ** are given in a timely manner. If the symptoms are severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.

The common cold is nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, coughing in the upper respiratory tract, and the mental state will be very good and will not affect the appetite. However, the flu will have an increase in body temperature, mental fatigue and weakness, and it will also easily lead to bacterial infection. Influenza can easily cause infections that can then be spread to other people, causing epidemic infectious diseases.

Influenza is the flu and needs to be treated with antivirals. The common cold is not contagious, and it does not affect study and life.

In fact, there is not much difference between the baby's common cold and the flu, the main thing is the common cold, he can get better quickly by taking some medicine, but the flu is indeed a more stubborn one.

The baby's common cold and flu symptoms are still very different, if it is just an ordinary baby cold, then under the guidance of the doctor, it may be better to take medicine for a few days, but for the flu, the baby may have intermittent fever, cough and medicine are not good, it may take half a month, or even a month to **.

Introduction: The common cold is a condition of acute upper respiratory tract infection, which is different from the flu, and the first program is also different, the influenza is an outbreak of acute respiratory infectious diseases, and it needs to be isolated and antiviral in the process of **, which is more serious. Therefore, parents must identify and deal with it in time in their daily life.

Next, let's analyze with you, what is the difference between the common cold and the flu? How to tell which disease your baby has.

Both of these diseases are very common in everyday life, and the flu is relatively more severe. The symptoms of common cold patients are generally mild symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose, but many cold patients may reach their peak after lasting for many days, but the onset of influenza is very fast and is an emergency, so there are many patients who will have high fever, headache, body aches, and nausea, in which case it is necessary to attract the attention of parents.

Babies with the common cold generally have symptoms such as fever, cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, headache, and runny nose. The flu symptoms are generally persistent high fever, and febrile seizures may occur, and if the newborn is infected with the flu, it is likely to cause pneumonia. If the baby suddenly has a fever, and the body temperature has reached above, or there is a chilling situation, you must take the baby to seek medical attention in time.

It is advisable for parents to take the standard test for the baby's influenza within 24 to 72 hours of the baby's illness.

When the flu season is high, it is necessary to let the baby develop the habit of washing hands before meals, and at the same time wash hands after sneezing, parents should pay attention to indoor air circulation, open more windows to reduce bacteria and viruses in the air, to avoid re-infestation to the baby, and at the same time to go to less crowded public places, need to be vaccinated against influenza, so as not to be infected with the virus.

There will be a difference in the symptoms, and the cause of the disease is also different, the common cold is caused by a cold, but the flu is caused by infection with a virus, you should look at the child's symptoms, if there is no fever, it is a common cold.

The source of infection is completely different, the infectivity is different, the clinical manifestations are different, the course of the disease is different, and the methods are different; If the flu is particularly contagious, caused by the influenza virus, or if you have a high fever, the time is three to seven days. Take your child to the hospital for a check-up.

Common cold, vomiting and diarrhea, headache, runny nose, cough, flu fever does not go away for a long time, lack of energy, just want to sleep, mixed washing difficult; Go to the hospital for a routine check-up, observe the baby's mental state, diet.

The common cold will develop slowly, the flu will onset quickly, the common cold does not need to be good or fast, the flu needs to take anti-inflammatory drugs to get better, and the rapid onset of the child is generally the flu.

When it comes to the epidemic season of pediatric influenza, children with poor immunity are most likely to suffer from this disease, with symptoms such as high fever and nasal discharge, but many parents do not know whether their children are suffering from influenza or common cold.

First of all, the symptoms of pediatric influenza and the common cold are not the same, ** methods will be different, the general flu symptoms are more serious than the common cold, there is an incubation period of about 1-3 days, in most cases the patient's systemic symptoms will be more severe, initially may show cold intolerance, fever, etc., the child's body temperature can be as high as 39-40, and even cause febrile convulsions, so it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible for effective**.

In addition, the incubation period of the common cold is shorter than that of the flu, about 1 day, the onset is not urgent, the main symptoms are dry itching of the throat, nasal congestion, sneezing, etc., usually no symptoms of high fever, most of them are low-grade fever. If the child does not have a bacterial infection after suffering from a cold, it will be easier to recover, and it will generally recover in 5-7 days.

The principle of pediatric influenza and the common cold** is different, the symptoms of the common cold are mild, and generally no medicine or less medication can be used, but during the illness, pay more attention to rest, drink more water, maintain indoor air circulation, light diet, etc. If there is a bacterial infection, the drug should be taken according to the child's condition**, and the specific doctor should be consulted. There is also a difference in complications, the complications caused by influenza are more serious, and if not timely, it will cause more serious problems, such as pediatric pneumonia, meningitis, etc., so parents should be vigilant.

Introduction: It can be really difficult for parents to tell if their baby has the common cold or the flu. So, how can you tell if your baby has the flu or the common cold? Next, I will tell you about it.

If your baby has a cold, he may have a runny nose. Then, for the next week or so, the nasal mucus may become sticky and turn gray, yellow, green. If the baby has a fever, it is necessary to observe the baby's behavior while the fever is subsided.

If he plays and eats as usual, or almost as usual, just eats a little and moves slowly, he may just have a cold. If your baby is still sick after the fever has subsided, he may be more serious than the common cold. In addition, flu and other illnesses may flare up suddenly, most likely accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting.

If your baby has a blocked nose or cough before he or she has a fever, then he or she probably has a cold.

In confined spaces, influenza viruses (influenza A and B) are highly toxic pathogens that can be easily transmitted through the air. If someone with the flu coughs or sneezes around your baby, your baby can become infected by inhaling droplets carrying the virus through his mouth or nose. Children who get the flu are contagious the day before the onset of symptoms and about a week after.

Because the flu spreads through close contact between people, it can easily spread in schools, childcare and homes. Usually, if you are not prepared, you will get sick 1-3 days after exposure to the flu. Your baby may have contracted the flu in kindergarten or because someone in the family has the flu virus but has been infected with the common cold.

Because the severity of each ** infection is different, it is very likely that the older sibling or parent has only mild symptoms of the flu, so it is easy to be overlooked. However, if your baby has the following symptoms during the flu epidemic, then he is likely to have the flu.

Therefore, the symptoms of a cold and flu are not the same. Parents must observe themselves to see if the baby has the flu or a cold. If it is the flu, it is important to seek medical attention in time to avoid infection.

You can take your baby to the doctor, you can observe your baby's symptoms, and if your baby's high fever does not go away, it means that it is the flu. If the baby has a sudden fever and the fever is around 39 degrees, it is an epidemic.

The symptoms of the common cold are relatively mild, can occur in any season, and can be cured in 5-7 days after taking medicine, while the flu mainly occurs in winter, the disease is more serious, and it is not easy to be relieved by taking medicine.

Parents can distinguish by the inspection report. Some indicators on the test report can tell you what kind of situation is happening to your baby.

If the child has a common cold, the child will only have a fever and a cough, and the fever temperature will be low-grade.

According to the child's physical condition, according to whether the child has a fever, according to the child's physical fitness, you can go to the hospital for examination.

Introduction: Because every parent hopes that their baby can grow and develop healthily and peacefully, after all, children's health is closely related to the mood of parents, if the child is sick, then not only the child itself is very uncomfortable, but the parents' mood is also very sad. Parents want to make their children healthier in daily life, they must pay more attention to their children's physical condition, many children are always prone to colds or flu in daily life, so what is the difference between children's colds and children's flu?

Next, I will analyze it for you.

We all know that the cold is a very common disease, many people in daily life rarely do not pay attention, it is very likely to suffer from the formation of a cold and their own immunity has a great relationship, relative to adults, children's immunity is even lower, after all, children's bodies are in the stage of growth and development, and have not established a more perfect defense mechanism, so children in daily life a little careless, it is likely to cause colds, Parents must pay more attention to their children's cold and warmth in their daily life, and never let their children be cold, so as to avoid the occurrence of colds.

Everyone knows that colds and flu are two very similar diseases, but in fact, the causes of the onset of colds and flu are very different. Influenza is a very common disease, many people will suffer from influenza in their daily life, influenza is a contagious disease, especially in densely populated places, it is easier to spread, for children, kindergarten is a densely populated place, so children are likely to get flu if they are not careful when they go to kindergarten.

In fact, if you want to resist diseases, you must pay more attention to your personal hygiene in your daily life, and you must also educate your children to develop good hygiene habits, and you must clean your hands before eating. When you are at home, try to open the windows for ventilation so that you can avoid colds.
