Anyone can get influenza A, especially children. Among them, subjects at higher risk of disease, including:
Children under 5 years old, especially children under 2 years old
Children have not been vaccinated against influenza
Children come into contact with sources of infection such as people with flu, sharing household items with infected people or accidentally coming into contact with household objects (doorknobs, tables, chairs, etc.) and then giving to the nose and mouth.
Influenza A usually progresses without being too severe, however, children with cardiovascular or respiratory diseases or young children will often become more severe and can cause death if not treated promptly. Therefore, you need to take your child to the hospital if your child has the following symptoms:
High body temperature (over 39 degrees), fever-reducing medicine does not improve
Cough a lot and have difficulty breathing
Convulsions if fever is too high
Fatigue, lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, cold hands and feet
In addition to influenza A, children are at risk of contracting a number of other diseases such as measles, chickenpox, ear infections, hand, foot and mouth infections,…
To prevent and protect children’s health, parents need to have their children regular health checks every 6 months. Vaccinating fully and on schedule is a safe way to prevent influenza to ensure children have good health and resistance.
