Doctors recommend what to do when a child has 2 ATK tests. Do I have to go to the hospital? After recovering, do I still need to get the covid vaccine? Advice to prevent infection
on April 10 Dr. Jirarut Chomchai Pediatrician specializing in respiratory diseases Pediatrics Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital Post messages via facebook Jiraruj Price indicate that 2 hits of ATK, what’s next…. for kids
Now let’s talk regarding defense. It seems to be too late, and I think people should already know. But no matter how hard you try, it can be infected… So let’s talk regarding what to do next if infected with 2 ATK.
I would like to focus on children. Refer to the guidelines from the Royal College of Pediatrics before ATK2, please study first.
1. Where is our treatment right, what hospital, what kind of hospital, or what health center in the provinces? If in Bangkok, it will be a little difficult.
Each area and province has different service guidelines. (This is normal in Thai style) If 2 lines come up, you will go right.
2. Common drugs needed when sick, such as paracetamol antipyretic Cough relief, phlegm-dissolving, mineral water, anti-vomiting pills, these can be bought at home. If you’re sick, you don’t have to run for medicine.
3. Fingertip oxygen meter… It’s good to have. The price is not very high. Pharmacies also have it for sale. Press it online. You have to be careful that it doesn’t meet the standards. FDA Medical Devices
– ATK 2 points already This is spoken by the general public. Does not refer to the definition of epidemic at all for people to understand 2 lines, which is believed to be infected for sure. Many people don’t have confirmation of PCR unless they have to go to the hospital or in other cases … but the conclusion is that they are infected. Here it is also regarding healing.
– Do I have to go to the hospital? Severe risk groups such as high fever 39 degrees for more than 1 day, lethargy, convulsions, inability to eat, excessive vomiting, shortness of breath, these should be examined to determine whether they are eligible to be hospitalized or not (mostly if they have such symptoms, they should be sleep)
Group with mild symptoms such as intermittent fever below 39 degrees, sore throat, edible or no symptoms. can be treated according to symptoms “Stay at home” or go into home isolation (if applicable), take antipyretics, wipe yourself
If you have persistent fever, such as 39 degrees for more than 1 day, or if your symptoms get worse, lethargic, unable to eat, very tired
This should come for additional examinations at the hospital to assess whether it is necessary to be treated in the hospital or not. Do I have to take the antiviral drug favipiravir? The answer is “not necessary for everyone”.
In most cases, if the symptoms are mild or without symptoms There is no need to take antiviral medication. But in those who are at risk of severe symptoms such as….
Are younger than 1 year and have risk factors for severe symptoms, including:
1. Chronic respiratory disease including asthma with moderate or severe symptoms
2. Fat
3. Cardiovascular disease cerebrovascular disease
4. Chronic kidney disease
5. Cancer and low immunity
6. Diabetes
7. Genetic disease group including Down syndrome Children with severe neurological impairment
Children with developmental delays, these doctors will consider antiviral drugs, meaning they need to go to the hospital or health care facility first. for testing and access to antiviral drugs
