These and many other questions will be the main expert on infectious diseases in children Department of Health in Moscow, Professor Olga Shamsheva.
Who and how should carefully check the well-being of children in kindergarten before the flu shot? How dangerous to be vaccinated is not entirely healthy child? Maybe he is sick and other perezarazhaet?
Olga Shamsheva: - It is not dangerous, it is possible to inoculate every person with symptoms of acute respiratory infection, starting or in the incubation period. It is unlikely that it will affect his state of health or it will bring bad vaccine. You just have to do it? It is not necessary. Always before any vaccine is necessary to measure the temperature of an adult or a child, it does not matter. If the temperature is, no need to hurry, it is necessary to wait until the child recovers, and can immediately be vaccinated. Once passed the signs of a respiratory infection, it can be immediately vaccinate.
So maybe you should not have to vaccinate if he had been ill?
O. W .: - And what he had been ill? Maybe he had been ill with something else, because the virus huge amount. If you take all viruses, including respiratory, they are now about two thousand, and opened more and more. A respiratory, ie those that cause acute respiratory disease SARS, or about 150 viruses. What it will take people a simple question. We have to go to take the blood from a vein and release the virus.
But to make it easier to get vaccinated than such an analysis. Firstly, it is not necessary to climb into the vein of a child and the adult. I went grafted all. Second, each time to penetrate into the vein, I believe, is not necessary. This should be done when a child or adult suffers difficult disease, we can not make a diagnosis, and all acute respiratory viral infections have similar symptoms: runny nose, cough, malaise, low temperature, as a rule. Why every time to determine the etiology of the disease. Polyclinic doctors simply write ARI.
Which vaccine is best done "live" or "dead"? What should be the reaction to the vaccine?
O. W .: - That's right, there is a "live" vaccine, and there is "dead." And those and others can be used. "Killed" entered as an injection, and "live" - in the form of sprays. Both vaccines are good, but still believed and WHO recommends that children up to 3-5 years to inculcate "killed" vaccines in the form of injection. You can and sprays, but may be reactions. For intramuscular administration "killed" vaccine may be redness at the injection site, slight soreness. Symptoms characteristic of infection, never will be. When the doctor calls the patient the evening and said that he instilled in the morning and in the evening he had a runny nose, it is ignorance of what "killed" vaccine never gives this clinic, just hit the incubation period on some respiratory diseases. Even sick people. There is nothing to worry about.
The disease will occur, as well as proceeded, in response to the vaccine produced immunity and be no worse than if a person was healthy. A "live" vaccine, if we find ourselves in the incubation period of a respiratory disease may overlap the disease and strengthen it slightly. Therefore, vaccinating spray simple and painless, but it is necessary that the person was healthy. And vaccinate a child 10 years old can be any vaccine, and domestic and foreign.
Is the flu dangerous for pregnant women? Can the disease affect the child?
O. W .: - In the first three months of pregnancy, when the tab is the main organ systems, a child is very sick is not recommended, including influenza, because flu virus has teratogenic effects and can affect embryo baby. I do not know whether the hospital give to prevent, but if a pregnant woman can take the ballot, I would advise to do it. If you can not leave for the hospital, use a mask, try not to be in a closed room with coughing, blowing his nose people. It is necessary to take care of themselves, especially in the first three months of pregnancy.
With some frequency masks should be changed?
O. W .: - Every two hours is necessary to change the mask. And where is it going? The street is not necessary, in the premises should be changed, of course.
Is it true that the flu is often accompanied by stomach flu and what are the consequences of the disease, if you carry it on your feet?
O. W .: - Influenza vaccination can help overcome this infection. Wrap the flu on their feet is very undesirable, because the flu is not so dangerous as its complications. About indigestion, that's not entirely true, because the annual flu epidemic not give lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Most likely, this is due to some other infection. Last year's flu pandemic (swine) have this ability, somewhere in 30% of cases it is called dyspepsia. It's a paradox, is not peculiar to this virus, but now most have been ill, so if there is an epidemic option, I do not think that should be intestinal disorders, it says, most likely, on the other infection.
It is said that a loading dose of vitamin C saves from cold and flu. Is this true and how much you need to drink this vitamin?
O. W .: - Yes, vitamin C helps the body to protect it. But still, if you come in contact with the sick person at the height of the disease, I think the infection still occur.
Do the prevention of influenza in a biologically active food supplements?
O. W .: - It does not help. It is much more effective to be vaccinated, get vaccinated. The only contraindication - is allergic to chicken eggs, because all influenza vaccines are made on the embryo chicken eggs, but must have a strong allergy, the type of angioedema, and all can be vaccinated. If you still do not want to be vaccinated, then we have to take anti-viral drugs, the money is more expensive, and it's a long process, these drugs need to drink the whole period.
There are many, can be selected. Just do not believe in myths that vodka or dietary supplements help profilaktirovat from the flu. It is nonsense. We live in the modern world, in the 21st century, the world is on the way and we do not need to go back on its particular way, and we must do so, as do all over the world progressive enlightened country.
