A study of children infected with the corona virus so far has found that those who are not vaccinated, obese, and those who have not been vaccinated have a higher risk of developing asthma, childhood diabetes, congenital heart disease, congenital kidney disease, and cancer. However, their number is very small in the total population. The corona vaccine test for children has not yet been completed. Therefore, children should be trained to follow all preventive measures. Parents must be extremely careful to ensure the safety of their children.
The new variant of the virus adopts many new dimensions than the previous one.
Corona: 256 children a day in Tamil Nadu
How does an infection occur?
Even if the little ones are at home, the corona will be brought in when the family goes out. Adult children are more likely to be affected by corona when the next child goes to play. It can also affect children when someone in the home, with or without symptoms, does not take proper care of the corona infection. If pregnant women with corona infection do not take safety precautions during childbirth, the baby can get corona from baby to baby.
What are the symptoms?
Children often have a corona infection similar to the common cold. The main symptoms are runny nose, fever, cough, sneezing, sore throat, diarrhea, shortness of breath and fatigue.
There is no need to be afraid of these symptoms. Isolate the baby at home after consulting a doctor. With regular treatment the symptoms will disappear within a week; The infection will heal within the next week. Fatigue lasts only a few days. If you give nutritious food it will be okay too.
When to pay attention?
The child has a fever lasting more than 5 days, breathing rapidly, lips are blue, severe fatigue, lying down unable to eat anything, loss of consciousness. If the baby’s oxygen level in the pulse oximeter is less than 95%, the baby should be taken to a hospital immediately for treatment.
Do not be indifferent!
Rarely, some children present with various symptoms (Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome – PIMS) such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, red eyes, red psoriasis, and red lips. These are also manifestations of corona infection. Parents should not ignore these and consult a doctor.
How to prevent infection?
If someone in the home has corona, do not keep the baby near them to avoid infecting the baby. The infected person and child should wear a mask. Personal space must be maintained. Do not allow the child to play outside or in a nearby house. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Do not take the child to busy places like weddings and birthdays.
This is the first case of corona infection in Tamil Nadu in a long time. The corona epidemic affected 1756 people in Tamil Nadu yesterday. That number rose to 1,859 today.
It is good for people to follow the rules of corona behavior without delay. There is nothing more foolish than to think that we are now vaccinated and that we are our own. This is because it has increased in many countries, including the United States, Russia and France. There is no evidence that corona affects people who have been vaccinated. May survive. But the impact may be minimal, but not 100 percent guaranteed. So it is better to wear a mask and adhere to social space even after vaccination.
