What are the treatments for baby tracheitis?

1. Infection Control

If acute bronchitis is caused by bacterial infection, the following antibacterial drugs can be used: co-trimoxazole 0.05/kg/day orally twice, penicillin 30,000-50,000 U/mg/day intramuscularly twice, medetomidine and erythromycin 30-50 mg/kg/day orally 3-4 times.

If there is no clear bacterial infection or mixed infection, 10-15 mg/kg/day of ribavirin can be used or added for intramuscular injection twice, or 5 mg/kg/day for nebulized inhalation twice. 200,000 U/day of interferon-a-muscle injection can also be tried.

2. Symptomatic treatment

1. Cough and expectorant: If the sputum is thick and difficult to aspirate, you can use atomization inhalation and choose 10% ammonium chloride mixture, Bisuoping, and Xiaoer Qiangli Tanling (1-2 tablets for 2-4 years old, 2-3 tablets for 5-8 years old). Frequent dry cough affects sleep and rest. You can take a small amount of antitussive drugs, such as promethazine and chlorpromazine 0.5-1mg/kg/time, 2-3 times a day. You should be careful to avoid overdose and prolonged use of drugs, which will affect the physiological activity of cilia and make secretions difficult to discharge.

2. Antispasmodic

Aminophylline: 2-4 mg/kg/time, 3-4 times/day orally.

Salbutamol: For children under 6 years old, 1-2 mg/day, orally in 3-4 doses or 0.1 mg/kg/time, Salbutamol aerosol (0.5% 1 press = 0.1 mg) 1-2 presses/time, 2-3 times a day.

If the wheezing is severe, prednisone 1mg/kg/day can be added, divided into 3 oral doses, and a course of treatment is 4-7 days. Beclosan propionate aerosol can also be used. Local medication can reduce the side effects of systemic medication. It is not suitable for infants and young children who are difficult to cooperate. Children should take 1-2 presses (50μg-100μg) each time, 2-4 times a day.

3. Chinese medicine treatment

1. Antitussive and antiasthmatic: During the remission period, some antitussive and antiasthmatic Chinese medicine preparations can be used, which can also alleviate the symptoms to a certain extent.

2. External application of medicine: When many infants and young children are sick, long-term medication may lead to some drug toxicity. The safety and convenience of external application of Chinese medicine is also a good way. Currently, the more commonly used ones include Baicao Qiongjiang Yiqi Patch for expectoration and expectoration, and Sanjiu Patch for winter.

4. Massage therapy

Through traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques, children with bronchitis symptoms are massaged and massaged on acupoints to dredge the breath and achieve the therapeutic effect. Currently, the more well-known pediatric massage clinics include Shanghai Kangyao Pediatric Massage, Qingdao Pediatric Massage, and Beijing Yuming Pediatric Massage.

What are the ways to improve your baby's immunity?

The first thing to master is skills. You can take your children to do outdoor sports, supplement them with more milk and calcium, and give them enough rest time to improve their immunity.

Viruses such as influenza virus are the cause of colds. When the number of viruses in the body exceeds a certain level, fever and runny nose will occur. We live among viruses, but we are not all infected with diseases.

This is because if the immune system is functioning normally, the growth and expansion of the virus will be limited within a certain range. In other words, the difference between a child with a cold and a healthy child lies in the strength of their immunity.

White blood cells such as lymphocytes and granulocytes that play an immune role are produced from bones every day.

White blood cells are based on hematopoietic cells produced by the bone marrow in the center of the bone. They flow throughout the body and play a role in killing bacteria. White blood cells flowing in blood vessels form lymphocytes, then enter the lymphatic vessels from the blood vessel walls, kill bacteria in the lymphatic vessels, and then return to the blood vessels.

The skin is made up of keratinocytes. The gaps between these cells are filled with sebum and sweat, which effectively prevent foreign bodies from entering. The mucous membranes of the nose and throat also play a role in defending against foreign bodies. The hairs in the nose can block dust and bacteria, acting like a natural air freshener.

Breast milk contains a large amount of immune substances, which can increase the baby's immunity and disease resistance, and prevent the baby from being invaded by viruses and getting sick. It can be said that breast milk is the first immunity in life, so don't miss the opportunity to breastfeed your baby.

During natural childbirth, the birth canal contracts and squeezes the fetus, which is a beneficial physical contact that is beneficial to the development of the baby's nervous system. After birth, the mother's physical contact will give the baby a great sense of security and promote the baby's physical development, which is especially beneficial for premature babies with low birth weight. Touching can improve the baby's blood circulation, enhance immunity, and promote food digestion and absorption, reduce crying, and improve sleep.

Vaccination for babies is a positive measure taken by humans to resist infectious diseases, such as BCG vaccination to prevent tuberculosis, oral polio vaccine to prevent poliomyelitis (polio), hepatitis B vaccine to prevent hepatitis B, etc. Parents must vaccinate their babies on time.

What to do if your baby is short

1. Exercise in moderation. Exercise can directly promote the secretion of growth hormone, and can also promote the secretion of growth hormone during sleep on the night of exercise. At the same time, moderate exercise can increase appetite, bring you healthy sleep, and help you grow taller. After practicing, someone said: "Sleep after reasonable exercise is like a baby's sleep."

Exercise can make people grow taller, but not all exercises can make people grow taller:

Sports that are good for growing taller: volleyball, basketball, football, ballet, aerobics, stretching gymnastics, skipping rope, and jogging.

Exercises that are not conducive to height growth: weightlifting, weight-bearing exercises, excessive exercise, and excessive exercise (marathons, etc.)

2. Pay attention to balanced and diversified nutrition for three meals a day. Eat more high-protein foods, especially those containing amino acids, such as beef, liver, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, dark vegetables, and various fruits. In short, in order for children to get enough nutrition for growth, they must eat well and eat enough. The diet should be varied and mixed with a variety of foods to complement each other. There is no perfect food in the world that meets all the needs of the human body. Therefore, the problem of picky eating and snacking must be corrected.

3. Go to a regular growth and development hospital regularly for bone age and growth and development examinations to rule out short stature caused by external factors.

What to do if your baby has hypospadias

1. Hypospadias is a urethral developmental malformation, that is, the urethral opening is on the path from the proximal end of the normal urethral opening on the ventral side of the penis to the perineum. It is one of the most common malformations of the urinary and reproductive system in children.

Suggestions: Urethroplasty surgery is the only treatment for hypospadias. The purpose of surgery is to completely correct the curvature of the penis, open the urethra to the glans penis, enable standing urination, and enable normal sexual life in adulthood.

Second, hypospadias is a congenital disease, and the child may have other problems. But it is not completely certain now. For the child's condition, it is recommended to take him to the hospital for examination and analysis, especially paying attention to the hormone situation. If there are no other problems, it is just hypospadias, which can be completely cured by surgery. As for the impact on fertility, it is also necessary to check the reproductive system.

3. Hypospadias is a common congenital urethral malformation in children, which can be cured through surgery. The purpose of treatment is to correct the deformity (curvature of the penis), restore the urethra to its normal position, enable children to urinate while standing, and enable adults to have reproductive ability. The best age for surgery is before school age.

4. If a girl over one year old urinates in two streams and has a small opening below the urethral opening, it should be considered that it is a symptom caused by hypospadias. It may be a symptom caused by abnormal development of the urethral opening. You can consider going to the hospital for surgical treatment and repair the opening in time.

Suggestions: Perform surgery at an appropriate time, maintain a good attitude, feed your baby properly, add complementary foods appropriately, strengthen nutrition, keep warm, and prevent colds.
