Is sepsis in children contagious? Does sepsis in children have sequelae?

Since childhood sepsis is caused by bacterial infection, many people have deep doubts about whether childhood sepsis is contagious. So, is childhood sepsis contagious? Does childhood sepsis have sequelae?

Sepsis is not contagious. If not treated early, it can be life-threatening and requires hospitalization with the cooperation of a doctor. If a child's resistance is always low, his weight and body temperature do not rise, he moves very little at an age when he loves to move, and he does not eat much, you should pay attention, as this may be an early symptom of sepsis. Eat more light food, eat more food rich in vitamins, avoid eating irritating food, do more outdoor exercise, improve the child's own resistance, keep warm, go to bed early and get up early, do not stay up late, and disinfect things that the child touches to prevent bacterial infection.

Sepsis in children is mainly caused by blood-borne bacteria, and is a common infectious disease in clinical practice. Generally speaking, active anti-infection treatment can quickly cure the disease, and there are generally no sequelae. Therefore, do not worry too much when your child has sepsis, but you must actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and should be hospitalized for systematic treatment, and discharged after recovery. During this period, you should also strengthen hygiene care measures, strengthen dietary care measures, and avoid catching cold to improve your body's disease resistance.

Yes, antibiotics should be used as early as possible. When the pathogen is unknown, drugs can be selected based on the bacterial invasion route, age, clinical manifestations, etc. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are usually used, or combined drugs are used for Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacilli, and then adjusted according to the results of culture and drug sensitivity tests.

Symptoms of sepsis include headache, shortness of breath, muscle aches, nausea, abdominal distension, diarrhea, etc., but no abdominal pain. Severe patients may experience intestinal paralysis and septic shock. Bruise is the most common, distributed on the trunk, limbs, oral mucosa, etc., and the number is relatively small.
