Ghaziabad. In Ghaziabad adjacent to Delhi, the effect of increasing cold and changing weather is now becoming increasingly visible on the health of small children. Every day more than 250 children are reaching the District MMG Hospital for treatment of cold, cough, fever and respiratory problems. The OPD of the hospital is filled with crowd since morning, where parents are seen worried about their children. According to pediatrician Dr. Vipin Upadhyay, the rapid change in weather and increasing pollution of Ghaziabad is affecting children the most. Due to increasing cold, respiratory diseases have increased significantly in small children. The condition of asthma and asthma patients becomes worse due to the dust and smoke present in the air. Sometimes such patients may suffer from serious conditions like attack. Therefore, it is very important to be alert in this season, take proper treatment and take medicines regularly as prescribed by the doctor.
These children are at greater risk
Doctors say that despite the increasing cold, many people do not wear warm enough clothes, due to which diseases spread rapidly, especially among small children. At present, pneumonia, viral cough and cold, viral fever and viral respiratory infections are spreading rapidly in children. More than 250 children are reaching the hospital every day with complaints like cold, cough, difficulty in breathing, pneumonia and asthma. Dr. Upadhyay says that the problem of stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhea is also increasing in small children because children drink less water in cold and sometimes they get infection by eating outside things. Small children are often not able to express their problems, so parents should pay special attention to some signs.
what to do, what not to do
If the child is crying repeatedly, is irritable, is breathing fast, is not able to drink milk, is vomiting or is not eating normally, then it can be a symptom of a serious illness. Even if there is no fever, it is important to show such children to a doctor immediately. Give lukewarm water to children in this season. Do not give cold water at all. Do not feed oily and spicy foods available outside to children. While going out of the house, children must wear a hat, sweater, socks and warm clothes. Include green vegetables and nutritious food in the diet so that the immunity of children can increase. In this era of changing weather, doctors appeal that a little carelessness can become a big problem for children. Therefore, be careful and seek medical advice immediately if symptoms appear.
