How to prevent measles in children

Editor-in-Chief: Nowadays, children are parents' treasures, but they are a little injured. Children's measles is a very troublesome disease. Many parents want to know what methods can help prevent measles in children. For this problem, we have also made a summary, so let's find out what methods can prevent the occurrence of measles in children.

What are the methods to prevent measles in children? 1. Control the source of infection.

Early detection, early reporting, early isolation and early treatment of measles patients are generally isolated to 5 days after eruption, and those with pneumonia are extended to 10 days after eruption. Susceptible people exposed to measles should be isolated for 3 weeks and given passive immunity.

Prevention method 2, cut off the route of transmission

The room where the patient once lived is ventilated and exposed to ultraviolet rays, and the patient's clothes should be exposed to the sun. Susceptible children should go to public places as little as possible during the epidemic season.

Prevention method 3, protect the susceptible population

(1) Active immunization: Vaccinate with live attenuated measles vaccine, with the first vaccination at the age of 8 months after birth and repeated vaccination at the age of 7. If the susceptible person is vaccinated within 2 days after contact with the patient, it may still be related to the onset or remission of the disease.

(2) Passive immunization: Giving 0.25ml/kg immune serum globulin immediately within 5 days after measles exposure can prevent the onset. If the dose is insufficient or used on the 5th to 9th day after exposure to measles, the symptoms can only be relieved, and passive immunization can only last for 3 to 8 weeks, so active immunization should be adopted in the future.

Prevention method 4. Monitor the genetic variation of measles virus.

Viruses isolated after 1980s have changed in antigenicity and biological characteristics. We should closely monitor the genetic variation and antigenic changes of wild-type measles virus, and study these changes from the perspective of molecular virology, so as to make efforts to finally eliminate measles.

Every parent wants their children to grow sturdily, and measles has set obstacles for their children's growth, which makes many parents worry about it. In fact, if you have measles, you can recover completely if you treat it actively. Therefore, I hope the above introduction can help everyone.

Prevention: Knowing the causes of diseases can prevent diseases better.

Measles is caused by measles virus infection through respiratory tract, and measles patients are the main source of measles infection. Measles virus exists in the secretions of patients' eyes, mouth, nose, pharynx and bronchus. When measles patients sneeze, talk or cry, the virus can be ejected with saliva droplets and float in the air. If this virus-containing droplet is inhaled into the respiratory tract by susceptible people, it will be infected with measles. Children in the same family, kindergarten and class are the most vulnerable to infection and illness because of more contact. Short-term contact with measles patients in cinemas, buses and entertainment places can also cause infection. If you touch the towels and toys that the patient has just used, you may catch measles. After taking care of children with measles, careless disinfection can also cause infection when taking care of other children.

Life adjustment

(1) Early detection, timely isolation and early treatment should be done for children with measles. Isolated children do not go out, and susceptible children do not visit.

(2) Good nursing contributes to the recovery of diseases and can reduce complications. Some children can be cured without proper care. If the nursing is improper, there will be serious complications, and other treatment measures should be taken in time.

(3) The indoor temperature should be appropriate, not hot and cold. Keep the air fresh. The light should be soft to avoid strong light irritating the eyes.

(4) Turn over and scrub the skin frequently, and pay attention to cleaning the nose and mouth. If there are too many eye diseases, gently scrub with normal saline or warm water.

(5) Provide children with enough water, give light and digestible food during the eruption period, and add nutritious food in a timely manner when entering the recovery period.
