The baby is ill, so it is not easy to take him to the doctor. When you take your baby to see a doctor, you will always encounter some embarrassing things in the hospital: the doctor asks about the condition and the parents don't know; While waiting for the doctor, the baby is impatient and crying, but parents can't calm him down ... So it is particularly important to take the baby to see a doctor, make enough preparations and understand the key points of the treatment process.

Information article

The following information can be put in a special bag and put in a fixed position, so that it can be taken easily when needed, so as not to be in a hurry.

1. Medical Insurance Card: The current medical insurance system is relatively perfect. Within three months after the baby is born, parents should go to relevant institutions to handle it. Every time you go to the hospital, you can save a lot of money by taking your medical insurance card and making an appointment.

2. Medical card: Almost every hospital has an independent medical card, which is filled in when registering for the first time and records personal information, such as name/gender/age/contact number and address. It should be noted that don't be afraid to reveal personal privacy and write a fake phone number or address in the community. This is not accurate to the house number, because it is the only way for the hospital to contact you in an emergency. Take it with you every time you need it. If you lose it or forget it, you have to queue up again, wasting time and manpower.

3. Medical Record Book: The medical record book is a record of the diagnosis and treatment of the baby's condition, which records the baby's medical history and the corresponding medication records. It has a good follow-up reference function, which can help doctors to judge the condition more accurately and control medication.

4. Health manual: a book established during the first physical examination after the full moon, which records the baby's birthday/sex/birthplace, height/weight/head circumference and other important growth indicators. After all, the baby grows very fast before the age of one, and it is difficult for the mother to remember all the information; Or the baby changed the guardian, for example, it was brought by grandma before, and later it was brought by mother; These growth data provide doctors with intuitive information and let them know the baby's growth indicators, which is very important for them to judge the dosage or prescribe the right medicine according to the baby's situation.

supplies

1. Diapers: necessary to take the baby out. Need to be reminded: there are two styles of diapers, one-piece pull-up pants/growth pants/small * * *, and adhesive diapers. When wearing pull-up pants, you need to take off all the pants outside. In winter, it is easy to catch a cold in a room without heating. Some hospitals don't have a proper clean and hygienic environment to change their babies' pants-after all, there are many patients and bacteria in the hospital, which are easy to cross-infect. In this case, the adhesive diaper is much more convenient, allowing the baby to directly lie on the mother or stand on the ground to operate directly.

2. Towels: large and small towels can be properly prepared, and small towels can wipe the baby's sweat/face. A big towel can be used as a shawl when it is cold, and a quilt when it is sleepy. Hungry babies can hide their shame by eating breast milk.

3. Dry wet tissue: very important! Especially wet paper towels, baby's hands like to scratch everywhere, full of bacteria, it is much more convenient to scrub directly with wet paper towels than to go to the bathroom often; And in case the baby stinks, the wet tissue is also very useful.

4. Water cups and water bottles: Unless there are special circumstances, the baby should drink plenty of water every day. If he is thirsty or hungry, he can't live without this.

5. Toys: Bring one or two small toys that your baby likes, which can distract your attention and calm your baby's mood when he is impatient or crying.

6. Milk powder, snacks, etc. : Milk powder is the baby's ration, but you can't leave it behind; Baby biscuits/Candy can be taken with you. When the baby is crying, the toy doesn't work, so it depends on it.

Second, the illness preparation

1, fully understand the disease process.

Before taking the baby to the hospital, the mother must carefully recall the time, degree and symptoms of the baby's onset, and if possible, know the cause of the disease.

For example, fever: when did you start to have a fever, how many days did it last, how many degrees did it reach, what symptoms did you have before you had a fever, and whether it was a common cold with a runny nose. Or whether your throat is inflamed and painful, or whether you are frightened.

Other symptoms: how about diet-normal eating or poor appetite, how about stool-normal stool, dry stool or constipation, or diarrhea. If conditions permit, you can keep the stool samples for one hour and put them in glass or plastic bottles for testing; What's your mood like-as usual, or sleepy without energy.

Besides, you can also ask other family members about the baby's activities in the past 24 hours, where he went, who he met, what he ate and what he did.

2, carefully record the illness.

It is best to write down this understanding with paper and pen, and if necessary, you can record the baby's situation with your mobile phone for the doctor's diagnosis. Only by carefully recording the illness and telling the doctor concisely can we shorten the time of seeing a doctor and relieve the baby's pain as soon as possible.

3. Know the medicines standing at home.

Mothers must master some basic medical knowledge and prepare a small medicine box at home, so that ordinary minor illnesses don't need to go to the hospital, or they can deal with them themselves in case of emergency to alleviate their illness. At the same time, I also know what medicine I gave the baby.

Third, choose a hospital.

1, emergency: principle of proximity

If the baby needs medical treatment as soon as possible, choose the nearest/most convenient hospital from home, for example, the baby has febrile convulsions, loses consciousness, or loses a lot of blood due to falls and bumps; Go to the hospital and send it directly to the emergency department or pediatrics, and make other plans after the condition is slightly relieved or stabilized.

2. General diseases: Choose a hospital near your home.

Usually pay more attention to hospitals near home and collect relevant information, such as hospital level/medical level/doctor team/cost, etc. If the baby needs to see a doctor, it depends.

3. Severe or incurable diseases: specialized hospitals.

If the illness is serious or the nearby general hospital fails to make a clear diagnosis and treatment, it is best to choose a more authoritative specialist hospital or children's hospital to avoid delaying the illness.

Reminder: Before going to the hospital, you should know the route and transportation mode, and write down the consultation telephone number of the hospital for future use.

Finally, when the baby is sick, the mother should first relax and not be too nervous. After all, it is natural for a baby to get sick, and it is just as well to treat it properly in time. A mother needs to comfort her baby in time, which is a special life experience. Otherwise, the mother's too nervous mood will infect the baby, causing more discomfort to the baby and affecting medical treatment.
