About pregnant women, children and the elderly, the latest response of this conference!

　　On December 13th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference to introduce the health management of key populations.

　　[About pregnant women]

　　Infection of pregnant womenWill it be transmitted to the fetus?

　　Because the mother has a very good protective barrier such as placenta, it is almost not transmitted to the fetus. However, if it is postpartum, if the mother and the baby are together, we should pay attention to isolation. It is best for the baby mother to have a certain isolation from the newborn or wear N95, so that she can breastfeed.

　　How should pregnant women strengthen their own protection?

　　For pregnant women, it is necessary to go to the hospital for routine check-up, make an appointment as much as possible, pay more attention to the standardized wearing of N95 mask when going to the hospital, and reduce the waiting time. There are some check-ups that you don’t have to go to. When you have some questions, you can consult in the form of online medical treatment.

　　What should pregnant women do if they have symptoms such as fever?

　　You can do nucleic acid test or antigen test to determine whether it is Covid-19 infection. Whether it is Covid-19 infection or not, the symptomatic measures that need to be taken can be to drink more water and cool down physically, and to choose traditional Chinese medicine that pregnant women can use for symptomatic treatment. If you choose western medicine for reducing fever, if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can choose acetaminophen for treatment. It is especially important to pay attention to the fact that you choose a single drug for reducing fever and don’t superimpose it.

　　[About children]

　　What medicines can families with children store?

　　Families with children should properly store some emergency drugs commonly used by children, but it is not recommended to store a lot of drugs. If you store a lot of drugs improperly, it may lead to children taking them by mistake. As for antipyretics, children over 6 months old can choose ibuprofen and acetaminophen, and one of them will do. If children between 2 months and 6 months are not suitable for ibuprofen, acetaminophen can be used. For children within two months, it is not recommended to use antipyretic drugs routinely, and measures such as physical cooling can be taken and timely medical treatment can be taken.

　　What situation does the child need to see a doctor for fever?

　　The simplest way to distinguish is to look at the child’s mental state. If the child has symptoms such as fever, but his spirit is quite good, especially if he can eat, drink and play after the fever has gone down, there is no need to be particularly nervous at this time, and there is no need to go to the hospital immediately. You can continue to observe and treat the symptoms at home.

　　It is recommended to go to the hospital in the following situations: the fever lasts for more than 3 days and there is no sign of improvement; Even if the fever is gone, the spirit is still not good; Cough is gradually aggravated, which affects daily life and sleep; Wheezing, rapid breathing, even dyspnea, obvious hoarseness, etc., be careful of laryngitis and laryngotracheitis; If you have consciousness disorder or convulsion, you should see a doctor immediately. Pay special attention to the fact that children under three months are a special group. Once fever occurs, it is recommended to see a doctor in time.

　　[About the elderly]

　　How should the elderly protect themselves?

　　The elderly are particularly in need of protection, and prevention is the first priority. First of all, it is necessary to vaccinate, including the whole process of vaccination and strengthening the vaccine. Second, I hope that elderly friends will go out less. Third, strengthen ventilation, and pay attention to the problem of keeping the elderly warm in the process of ventilation. Fourth, elderly friends with basic diseases should be well controlled at this stage. Fifth, we need to live a regular life in the near future. In addition, family members who don’t live with the elderly can reduce their visits to the elderly in the near future and reduce the chance of virus exposure.

　　How long can the elderly produce antibodies after vaccination?

　　Generally, it takes one to two weeks to produce antibodies after vaccination, but if a relatively high level of antibodies is to be produced, it will take about four weeks after full immunization. After strengthening immunization, the time to produce antibodies is faster and shorter, and the level of antibodies produced is also higher. This further reminds us that these elderly people who have not completed vaccination should be vaccinated as soon as possible, and those who have not completed strengthening should be strengthened as soon as possible, so as to play a better protective role.

　　What conditions do the elderly need to see a doctor?

　　First, symptoms persist or worsen, such as fever that persists or even tends to worsen. Second, there are new symptoms. Third, the aggravation of basic diseases. In addition, some basic diseases themselves are unstable, or there are elderly people over 80 years old who have not been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. This group of people is at high risk of severe COVID-19 and high-risk groups, so we need to pay special attention to it.

　　What should be paid attention to in home treatment of cardiovascular patients?

　　There is no need to worry too much about patients with original cardiovascular diseases who are infected with Covid-19. The main line that needs attention is to manage the basic diseases of the heart well, use the original drugs for cardiovascular diseases well, increase the immunity of the body, improve the quality of sleep and overcome anxiety. Don’t stop taking drugs for cardiovascular disease prevention and control for a long time, which may induce or aggravate the disease. If you have persistent chest pain, go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.
