The first panic - admission to hospital with jaundice
My baby was born on May 18, 2016, with type O blood. The expected date of delivery was June 10, so it was a little premature. On the third day after birth, the jaundice was a bit high. I was worried that it was pathological jaundice. The baby's hospital did not have a neonatology department and was advised to transfer to another hospital for inpatient treatment. I am a parent for the first time, and I didn’t do enough homework before giving birth to my baby. At this time, I was very passive. I watched my baby being sent to another hospital. I just had a caesarean section, and I was really anxious and helpless lying on the hospital bed. .
Fortunately, several colleagues with second-born children came to see me and communicated with me. One of them had two children in her family. The daily sickness was usually treated with infant massage. At the beginning, it was I asked a teacher from a specialized massage institution to help me with massage. Gradually, she learned it by herself and did a lot of basic treatments. She enthusiastically helped me contact the massage teacher who had been with her child before. After communicating with the massage teacher, including myself using my mobile phone to search for knowledge about jaundice on the Internet, I found that it is not so terrible. And the baby was sent to another hospital at noon on Saturday that day. On the one hand, he had to do many kinds of examinations. On the other hand, the jaundice value dropped after being exposed to blue light in the afternoon. A doctor friend told me that if it is pathological jaundice, it will not After physical therapy such as blue light, the jaundice value can be quickly reduced. After a very torturous night, I communicated with my friends the next morning, and after gaining a basic understanding of jaundice and its post-treatment, I made a decision—let my husband pick up the baby on the same day! At that time, in fact, another hospital’s suggestion was to wait until the scheduled visit time on Monday afternoon to see the situation, but I still insisted on it. Finally, the baby finally returned to my side at 6 o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday, which made me very sad. The baby's voice is hoarse.
In the following days, I insisted on breastfeeding, and at the same time cooperated with some massage and massage techniques that my friends told me, as well as basking in the sun, the jaundice gradually subsided.
experiencing a fever for the first time
At the third week of ten months, the baby experienced the first fever. For nearly a week, the baby went from a small cold at the beginning, to fever, to rash, and the whole person's condition was not very good. It is very clingy to me, and I can't sleep well at night.
It is worth mentioning that after being admitted to the hospital for the first time due to jaundice, I bought "Li Xiude's Three-Character Classic School Pediatric Tuina" and several other similar books on the recommendation of my friends. I will communicate with experienced colleagues and ask for advice, and at the same time combine the contents of the book for processing.
Therefore, during this week, the first cold was treated with massage and massage and bathing with mugwort leaves boiled water. After three or four days of cold, I encountered the first fever, and the temperature was less than 39 ℃, so I followed the instructions in the book. The operations of pushing Tianhe water, calming the liver and clearing the lungs, and retreating the six internal organs, etc., are massaged after the baby falls asleep at night, and the fever will subside the next day. Seeing that it was about to recover, a red rash suddenly appeared all over my body. To be honest, I was a little scared when I saw this. I immediately proposed to go to the hospital. up. I also roughly described the baby's recent symptoms to a friend, and the friend said, "Isn't it a baby rash?"
Reluctantly, I went to the hospital. While queuing up for registration at the pediatric department of the hospital, I went online to check the introduction about children’s emergencies. Since the baby’s cold symptoms and fever symptoms were gone, the pediatric doctor said let’s go to the dermatology department. have a look. So I switched to the dermatology department to register and wait in line. The dermatology doctor finally prescribed two kinds of medicines for external application. I read the order and found that one of them was calamine lotion. My mother-in-law smeared prickly heat. But the doctor didn't tell me about infantile rash from the beginning to the end, but according to the baby's symptoms, I concluded that it was true, so I didn't take the medicine and went home from the hospital. Since it is infantile rash, I will deal with it according to the online instructions. , As a result, a two-day red rash appeared, and the baby's condition was not very good during the period, but after the birth, it was really good.
Thank you, Teacher Luo Dalun, for making me more calm
At this year’s Bao Ma exchange meeting organized by the company, a Bao Ma recommended Mr. Luo Dalun’s book to us, and told us that Mr. Luo Dalun’s book contained many very practical small methods of diet therapy-this made me very excited. I always remember a saying that my father, who has been a country doctor all his life, often said-"medicine is a gun wrapped in paper", and I don't want my baby to suffer.
As soon as the exchange meeting was over, I immediately bought a set of books online: "Children with spleen deficiency do not grow up, have poor appetite, and love to catch colds", "Keep Children from Fever, Cough, and Indigestion", "Illustrated Tongue Diagnosis", " The reason why I bought so many at one go is to learn by myself and to share with my father who has been a rural doctor all his life in the countryside. After reading these books, my father also said pretty good!
In addition, according to the tips in the book, I also paid attention to the series of WeChat public accounts of Teacher Luo Dalun. To be honest, I also followed the public accounts of similar parenting or family care before, but what I admire most is the great love of Teacher Luo Dalun. Share The content of the content is very selfless, and it will not be advertising or payment like other official accounts. Moreover, many methods shared by Mr. Luo Dalun are really effective, and it is very quick to get started!
Teacher Luo mentioned a point of view in the book, and I also agree with it very much-it is parents, not doctors, who protect children's physical and mental health. In life, as parents, we should take the initiative to learn some knowledge of TCM parenting, so that we can seize the opportunity at the beginning of the child's physical disorder, detect the symptoms of the disease early and contain it, and will not wait for the disease to become serious before panicking. In a panic, I went to seek medical advice. Sometimes, seeing some friends in the circle of friends taking their babies to the hospital in the middle of the night, I am really sad. In fact, many daily diseases of children can be handled by parents themselves in the early stage.
Finally, let me talk about the current situation of my family. I go to work from Monday to Friday. During the day, my mother-in-law is at home to help take care of the baby. The company is very close to home. I go home for lunch. After my mother-in-law came from the country last year, she would catch a cold for a few days almost every month, and the cough would last for a few days. Had a severe cold. I went home at noon today and found that my baby had a little runny nose, so I boiled some perilla leaf water and put it at home, and told my mother-in-law to drink it for the baby.
In addition, there are also Chinese yam tablets, barley rice, three beans, black plum and white sugar soup that are always prepared in my house.
After writing so much piecemeal, in fact, the most important thing is two experiences:
First, being a parent is really a way of self-cultivation, and you have to keep learning to truly protect your children;
Second, when encountering problems, communicate more with experienced friends.
Finally, I would like to thank Teacher Luo Dalun for his good books and all the knowledge platforms he shared!
