Rubella in the Spring Infectious Diseases Series

This article briefly introduces one of the four major syndromes of ancient pediatrics-measles.

風疹 is an acute eruptive infectious disease, manifested by mild fever, cough, fine sand-like rosette-like papules on the skin all over the body, and swelling of the nucleus (lymph nodes) behind the ears and occiput.

風疹 in the Spring Infectious Diseases Series

Pediatric infectious disease 風疹 is no exception in winter and spring. People who are susceptible to 風疹 are generally children between 1 and 5 years old, but children can gain lasting immunity after the disease, that is, after the disease, if there are no special circumstances, it will not be repeated. Although the disease is mild, clinical complications are rare, but if pregnant women suffer from the disease in the early pregnancy, it will affect the normal development of the embryo, such as miscarriage, congenital heart disease, cataracts, and brain diseases. Therefore, special attention must be paid to preventing infection during pregnancy.

The location of 風疹 is mainly in the lungs, which is different from the skin rashes we talked about in the past. This is mainly because 風疹 usually only invades the lungs and not the spleen, so the symptoms are not very serious. Most of the symptoms are just lung meridian syndrome and maculopapular rash caused by the fight between toxins and qi and blood. Even if there is a big poisonous evil situation, as long as the treatment is timely, the danger will be turned into peace.

In addition to these basic contents, the diagnosis of 風疹 is also one of the compulsory courses, otherwise optics will not be used, which is a pity. Regarding the characteristics of 風疹, you need to master the following three points: One is to determine whether pregnant women or children have been exposed to 風疹, so that the difference between common cold and 風疹 can be eliminated, and early examination and treatment. Second, it depends on the patient's symptoms. The patient’s initial symptoms resembled a cold. I have a fever for one day and red bumps appear on my skin. Another day passed and the rash spread all over the body. One to two days after the onset of the rash, the fever gradually subsided and the rash gradually disappeared. After the rash subsides, skin scaling may occur, but there is no pigmentation. Third, it should be noted that these patients often have mild systemic symptoms, but they are often accompanied by enlarged lymph nodes behind the ears and occiput, and enlarged left side flank mass (spleen).

For the sake of understanding, let us take a common syndrome-invasion of the lungs. The main symptoms are fever, wind sickness, sneezing, mild coughing, mental fatigue, poor diet, the rash first on the head and trunk, then spread to the limbs, evenly distributed. The rash has small properties, is light red, and subsides after 2 to 3 days, and the skin is itchy. Occipital and lymphadenopathy. The tongue is red, and the tongue coating is thin white or thin red. Clinically, most children with this syndrome belong to this syndrome. This syndrome has a rapid onset and is characterized by low fever, small and sparse macula, tenderness of lymph nodes behind the ears and occipital, and the systemic symptoms are not serious. The treatment should be mild. Wind dissipates heat, so Sang Yinqiao powder can be used as a Chinese patent medicine. This Chinese patent medicine can relieve the skin, relieve the lungs, clear away heat and detoxify.

In terms of diet therapy, you can make some bitter gourd tofu soup, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxification, benefiting the stomach, and relieving alcohol. Ingredients: 150 grams of bitter gourd, 400 grams of tofu, cooking wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, vegetable oil. Method: Cut the bitter gourd into thin strips. Marinate for 10 minutes with cooking wine, soy sauce and sesame oil; cut tofu into pieces. Put the wok on the fire, heat the oil, add bitter gourd strips and stir fry a few times, pour in boiling water, push in the tofu cubes, chop them with a spoon, add soy sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, and pour sesame oil.

Treatment is one aspect, and I think prevention is the key. First of all, it is best not to go to public places during the 風疹 epidemic. If it is unavoidable, you can drink some Banlangen to prevent the occurrence of diseases. Secondly, we must protect pregnant women, especially in the first trimester, and avoid contact with 風疹 patients as much as possible. Children and women before marriage should be vaccinated against 風疹 to prevent their disease. Finally, three meals should be taken regularly, physical exercise should be carried out to strengthen immunity and fight the virus.

Rubella in the Spring Infectious Diseases Series

Rubella is a mild skin disease, but we should pay more attention, because many children do not know how to protect themselves, and often scratching when itchy, it is easy to cause infection. Rubella is small, but the infection is large. Parents must carefully observe the child's every move.
