Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, March 11 (Reporter Shuai Cai) In the early spring, it is warm and cold, so there is a saying that "spring covers autumn and freezes".
Some beauty-loving girls took off their thick winter clothes early, causing their bodies to catch cold and fall ill; there were also some people who covered themselves so tightly that they became ill.
Some parents are afraid that their children will freeze, so they dress with three layers inside and three layers outside, and cover two layers of quilts at night.
Experts pointed out that children's "spring cover" should pay attention to the time and local conditions, and should not be overheated, so as to avoid the occurrence of diseases such as cover heat syndrome.
Wu Yunqin, chief physician of the Department of Neonatology at Hunan Children's Hospital, said that in spring, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and children are prone to colds. Parents should dress their children according to the climate characteristics.
Parents should not wear turtlenecks for babies and young children for a long time to keep warm, because babies and young children have short necks, delicate skin, and are prone to sweating. Wearing turtleneck sweaters or fleece clothes for a long time will block the heat dissipation of the neck, and are prone to heat rash, itching, Symptoms such as skin ulceration.
Some parents blindly "spring cover" their children, and cover their children with thick quilts at night, which can easily lead to children's heat dissipation obstacles and cause cover-up syndrome.
Zhu Desheng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Hunan Children's Hospital, introduced that the hospital has recently treated many children with muggy syndrome. These children were unconscious and shallow breathing when they were admitted to the hospital.
Muffled heat syndrome, also known as "baby covered with hypoxia syndrome" or "baby stuffy heat syndrome", is caused by excessive warmth and stuffy for too long, causing infant hypoxia, high fever, profuse sweating, convulsions, coma, and even respiratory failure. a common emergency.
Experts remind that when the child is sleeping, parents should not pull the child's quilt too high, or even cover the child's mouth and nose with the quilt, which is very dangerous.
At night, parents should observe the child's temperature and breathing from time to time to avoid the child being covered by the quilt, which may lead to danger.
Zeng Saizhen, director of the Department of Pediatrics and Emergency Department of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, reminded that all things recover in spring, and the air is full of allergens such as pollen. Some allergic people are prone to sneezing, runny nose and other symptoms. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
Zeng Saizhen said that there is a big difference in climate between the north and the south of my country. The north is dry and windy in spring, while the south is wet and rainy.
In the north, parents should pay attention to prevent the cold in spring and dress their children warmer.
In the south, there is plenty of rain after the beginning of spring, so while "spring cover" is appropriate, parents should pay attention to flexibly increase or decrease their children's clothes according to the actual temperature, and do not deliberately "spring cover".
