Dr Mark’s Suggestions on the Four Pediatric Diseases in Autumn

和美中外儿科专家教您如何应对秋季四种儿童常见疾病

Autumn is the season of higher incidence of many diseases. Babies will easily get sick because of the instability of the temperature.So how to prevent that from happening?

秋季是很多疾病发病率较高的季节，由于早晚的温差增大，气温的不稳定性等原因，宝宝很容易就会生病。爸爸妈妈有没有做好宝宝的秋季疾病预防呢？

1. Influenza  流感

Influenza is a respiratory tract infection caused by influenza virus,mainly spread through droplet,direct touch or contaminated items.You should avoid staying with influenza patients,keep indoor air ventilation disinfection and strengthen body resistance.

流感是流感病毒引起的呼吸道感染，主要是由飞沫、接触、被污染物品传播。预防护理：避免接触流感病人，室内通风消毒，增强抵抗力。

2. Diarrhea  腹泻

Autumn diarrhea happens frequently from September to November ,which is caused by rotavirus,poor immunity or changeable weather.It is advised not to bring babies outdoors often,maintain a high hygiene standard,see a doctor if the child has persistent high fever with pale face.Breastfeeding is advocated and we should regularly disinfecting feeding bottle and tableware to avoid cross infection .

秋季腹泻多发于9月到11月，发病原因多是轮状病毒引起的，宝宝的抵抗能力弱，免疫力差，身体不能适应天气突然转凉。预防护理：减少宝宝外出，注意卫生，患儿持续高烧面色苍白应及时就医。小宝宝提倡母乳喂养，餐具奶瓶要消毒养成良好的卫生习惯，避免孩子之间传染。 

 3. Asthma  哮喘

Asthma is allergic constitution which is sensitive to allergens and it will lead to bronchospasm,hyperaemia of bronchial mucosa,increased bronchial secretion ,cough,short of breath,lots of sputum and so on.You are reminded not to contact the mite droppings,wash your bedding more frequently,and don’t use the carpet or plush toys.Stay away from secondhand smoke and avoid going out during the polluted days.

哮喘是过敏体质对过敏原的敏感引起的支气管痉挛，支气管粘膜充血，支气管分泌物增多，引起的咳嗽、气喘、多痰等表现。预防护理：避免宝宝接触尘螨，房间要勤洗被褥，不要用地毯和摆放毛绒玩具。远离二手烟，避免空气污染的时候带宝宝外出。

4. Pharyngitis  咽炎

The weather becomes dry in Autumn.Babies usually drink less water because of less sweating.The dry throat will cause bacteria which leads to pharyngitis and bronchitis.So drink more water instead of drinks,as drinks contain too much sugar that can not replenish moisture. Meanwhile,maintain the indoor humidity,get a humidifier if necessary.

秋季天气干燥，宝宝出汗减少，于是很多宝宝喝水也就减少了。而咽喉干燥会引发细菌滋生，从而产生咽炎、气管炎。预防护理：家长要多让宝宝饮水，不要让宝宝喝饮料，因为饮料中含有过多的糖分，并不能起到补充水分的作用。同时要注意室内的湿度，如有必要可添加加湿器。
