What are the symptoms of flu in children and what medicine should I take?

Most children with influenza may have fever, cough, runny nose, poor spirits, poor appetite, and loose stools, just like the common cold. In addition to the symptoms of the common cold, the difference between influenza and influenza is that it is very contagious, and it may occur collectively in the season of high influenza, and multiple people may become ill at home and school, which is very contagious and transmissible.

Systemic symptoms may be severe, fever may last longer, fever may be higher, mental health will be worse than that of a common cold, and there may be general muscle aches, discomfort and other manifestations. The flu is different from the general cold, there is no specific medicine for the general cold, and the flu can be targeted against the flu with specific drugs**, such as oseltamivir and zanamivir.

A small number of cases of influenza are severe, and may cause poor spirits, worsening dyspnea, and pneumonia. Attention should be paid to these severely ill children, because influenza is relatively more severe than the common cold, and there may be some severe cases and a certain mortality rate. Therefore, before the peak flu season, you can get a flu vaccine to reduce the incidence of influenza.

During the flu season, minimizing going to crowded places can reduce the chance of contracting the flu.

Children's resistance is relatively weak, so when the flu is high, it is necessary to observe all the symptoms of the child, but at this time parents are not very clear about the flu, once the child has a headache, fever will run to the hospital, in fact, the flu is also symptomatic. So what are the flu symptoms in children?

When children suffer from the flu, the most typical symptom is that the onset is very urgent, the child is more afraid of cold, the temperature in the body will be as high as 39 degrees or more, often accompanied by symptoms such as weakness, sore limbs, headache, loss of appetite, dry cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat.

Children's systemic symptoms are very obvious, body aches and weakness are the most obvious, and there will be nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and other problems, continuous fever will be accompanied by 3 4 days, after which the symptoms of body aches and weakness will be reduced, but some children's symptoms will continue to worsen, for cough symptoms will last until 1 2 weeks, this problem is suffering from childhood flu.

Children's influenza is different from the common cold, very contagious, the speed of transmission is relatively fast, easy to cause collective onset, at this time, once there are complications are not carried out in time, a small number of serious patients may lead to death, so once the child has flu symptoms, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination, in time to avoid delaying the condition.

The main symptoms of children's flu are sudden high fever, body aches, headache and weakness, etc., if your child has symptoms of flu, it is still necessary to pay attention, because the flu is not a common cold, and it will only get worse and worse if it drags on, and even induces other problems. In terms of medicine, you can use some relatively small Chinese patent medicines, such as pediatric Sanjiu antiviral oral liquid, and if you have fever, you can also use it with antipyretic drugs.

Because children's influenza is mostly caused by influenza viruses and parainfluenza viruses invading the child's body, and symptoms such as high fever, headache, malaise, fatigue, and some digestive system discomfort will occur. Therefore, under the guidance of a doctor, you can take ribavirin granules to ** flu to relieve the above uncomfortable symptoms, and parents should measure body temperature, if the body temperature is above, antipyretic drugs, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, can be given to help reduce body temperature, and parents should encourage children to drink more water to replenish the water lost due to fever in the body.

If the child has tonsil abscess, sinusitis, otitis media and other complications due to decreased immunity, bacterial infection, etc., can be combined with antibiotic drugs, such as amoxicillin clavulanate potassium granules or ceftazidime for injection to ** the above symptoms, do an allergy test before use, negative before application, and the dosage should be used according to the doctor's instructions. Children's flu fever can be treated with medication**, there are several situations:

Clause. 1. If the child's flu fever does not exceed, it is okay to take cold medicine, such as paediatric aminophen xanthamine granules; If the child has more than a flu fever, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, can be given; If fever is caused by a cold and bacterial infection, anti-infective drugs are used.

Clause. 2. During the period of children's flu fever, you can take Chinese patent medicine to alleviate it, such as pediatric pulmonary fever cough and asthma granules, pediatric cough and asthma granules, antelope horn granules, Lianhua Qingwen granules, Jinhua Qinggan granules, Qingkailing granules, these drugs have the effect of clearing heat and antiviral, which can shorten the course of the disease. When children have a flu fever, they should drink plenty of warm water and pay attention to rest, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and go to the hospital in time when flu symptoms appear**.

Pediatric cold, also known as an upper respiratory tract infection in children. More than 90% of pediatric upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viral infections.

When children have a cold, there are generally clinical symptoms, such as fever, sore throat, nasal congestion, sneezing, cough, some children will have gastrointestinal colds, and there may be some digestive symptoms, such as poor food, abdominal discomfort, vomiting and other symptoms, it is also possible.

When you have a cold, the best way is to choose some antiviral, **cold Chinese patent medicines.

Commonly used drugs, including Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid, Qingkailing Oral Liquid, Children's Soybean Qiao Qingre Granules, Bairui Granules, Shanla Plum Leaf Granules, etc., are all available.

If it is confirmed that there is a bacterial infection, it is also necessary to take some antibiotics appropriately. At the same time, drink plenty of water, and eat a light diet that is easy to digest.

Clause. 1. Antiviral drugs. Anti-influenza virus drugs, oseltamivir and Lianhua Qingwen capsules, we recommend oral administration as soon as possible, preferably within 36 hours of onset, especially within 48 hours, to block viral replication, and the effect is better.

Clause. 2. For patients with cough symptoms, cough and phlegm drugs can be given, such as pulmonary strength cough mixture, Musutan and fodosteine for cough suppressant and leg sputum**;

Thirdly, if the patient has a significant high fever, the antipyretic drug loxoprofen can be given for oral antipyretic;

Clause. Fourth, for patients with body aches, muscle aches, etc., cold medicines can be given for general symptomatic treatment, such as Contec, Gankang, day and night Baifuning, white plus black, etc.

Babies who have the flu usually take antiviral medications.

Commonly used antiviral drugs: the most common is amantadine, which has been more effective for influenza A, and should be used as soon as possible, and it is better to take it within 24 hours of onset, which can shorten the course of the disease and reduce symptoms. The dose is the same as the prophylactic amount, and side effects are closely observed.

In addition, some antiviral drugs: alpha-gangamine and spiramantadine, are more potent than amantadine, and virions will work on influenza. If it can be taken within 24 hours of the onset of the disease, children 3 4mg kg each time, 3 times a day, the body temperature will drop within 48 hours, the symptoms of poisoning will be reduced, and the apparent efficiency can reach 60%.

In addition, there are isopropylinosine, riboside triazole, selenocystine, etc., and it has been reported that the application of zinc gluconate lozenges ** cold has a certain curative effect in China.

Chinese Herbal Medicine**: Dozens of Chinese herbal medicines that have been screened and proven to have inhibitory or inactivating effects on influenza viruses include Radix Radix, Comfrey, Eucalyptus Leaf, Guanzhong, Goose Doesn't Eat Grass, Artemisia Sinora, Honeysuckle, Coptis chinensis, Skullcap, Forsythia Forsythia, etc., which can be selected as appropriate.

I remind: The drugs taken by the baby flu must be purchased under the guidance of the doctor, and must not be bought independently, especially antibiotics (that is, anti-inflammatory drugs), if it is not combined with bacterial infection symptoms (such as pneumonia), do not give antibiotics to the baby, because the flu is caused by a viral infection rather than a bacterial infection, and antibiotics do not work on the virus and search, so the use of antibiotics will not only not ** cold, abuse may also cause dysbiosis or drug resistance.
