Influenza is a common disease among infants and young children in the alternate seasons. It not only has a high incidence rate, but also causes varying degrees of damage to the baby's health. Therefore, it is recommended that Baoma learn more about it and prevent it. Next, let's introduce the symptoms of baby flu?
The typical symptom of a baby with influenza is high fever. Affected by the influenza virus, babies may experience symptoms similar to those of a common cold, such as body aches and fatigue. However, due to the proliferation of the virus in the body, it can also cause high fever of around 38 ° C to 40 ° C, accompanied by symptoms such as headaches and chills. In severe cases, dehydration and seizures may also occur.
In addition, most babies may experience upper respiratory tract infections such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, and dry cough after contracting the flu. Some babies may also experience gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If left untreated, it may also lead to complications such as pneumonia, meningitis, and myocarditis, seriously damaging the baby's physical health.
The onset of influenza is insidious and the course of the disease develops rapidly. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers promptly seek medical attention at a regular hospital and strengthen their care in daily life after discovering the above symptoms in their babies. For example, increasing water intake appropriately, maintaining ventilation in the living environment, and increasing or decreasing clothing in a timely manner can all help babies recover their physical health as soon as possible.
