Childhood is when we feel they are most vulnerable, and parents dare not neglect their babies in any way, taking care of them carefully. But some mothers can't wait for their children to play outside when they are young, without considering whether there are many sources of pollution outside that can infect the baby. I still care about this, how is pertussis transmitted?
How is pertussis transmitted
1. The onset of pertussis is due to infection with Bordetella pertussis, and the disease is easily contagious. Younger patients often have more severe symptoms. Regarding the prevention of this disease, measures should be taken to prevent transmission and avoid going to public places.
2. When a patient with pertussis coughs, the pathogen will spread along with droplets, making the surrounding population susceptible to infection and causing illness. Especially in kindergartens, elementary school dormitories, etc., they are prone to epidemic infections. Patients should be isolated and treated promptly after onset of illness.
How to prevent pertussis transmission
Children should pay attention to keeping warm during winter and spring seasons, and adjust their clothing in a timely manner according to weather changes. Parents should pay attention to their children's physical condition, as this disease is particularly common in early childhood. Getting vaccinated against pertussis can provide several years of immunity. Parents of sick children should pay attention to keeping the indoor air fresh as much as possible, supplement nutrition in their diet, eat more easily digestible foods, and ensure sufficient sleep.
We have all come from a naive period, and children don't know about dangerous things. At least now we can make them understand. When the baby is not a little older, do not always take him out, or go to crowded places with poor air circulation, to avoid the baby being infected with the virus. When grandma gets sick, it's too late for moms to regret.
