Covid-19. What if my child has symptoms similar to those of the disease? We answer you

September 10, 2020September 10, 2020 by drbyos

A runny nose, a slight cough, the first symptoms of Covid-19 are “little differentiable” those of other seasonal viruses, influenza or gastro, affecting children. So what if when you drop your children off at school, they show one of these symptoms?

A question that many parents ask themselves, to which the Ministry of Education answered in an information booklet for families, available on its website. “In case of symptoms or feeling of fever”, it is necessary, first of all, ” to take the temperature “ of the child.

According to the recommendations, it is only if the temperature is above 38 ° C that the child should be kept at home. In the event that the situation is not realized, is there a procedure for a student who presents signs of illness perceived by the teacher during the day? Here again, the department provides details. “The student is isolated with a mask under the supervision of an adult who also wears a mask. “

As a reminder, students under 11, therefore in primary and kindergarten, are not required to wear a mask. The school then takes care of contacting the parent. Parents are then “invited” to a visit to the doctor before considering any return to class.

Even if it affects children less, “We are not going to escape the cases of Covid in schools”, Professor Élise Launay, a doctor specializing in pediatric infectious diseases at the Nantes University Hospital, explained to us at the end of August. A confirmed prediction: since the start of the school year many classes have already been forced to close their doors.

Should we test the children afterwards?

Before 6 years old, it is not necessarily useful as explained Véronique Hentgen, pediatrician and infectious disease specialist at the Versailles hospital in France Info. “If we do ten nasopharyngeal tests [par prélèvement dans les fosses nasales], first, it will be unpleasant. Second, it will most often be negative because the child will have something else […] If the doctor diagnoses the certain cause of the fever, for example, tonsillitis, it is not necessary to take a Covid test. If he thinks it’s a standard virus, as much as the child stays at home without a Covid test. “

And for children over 6? “Any child over 6 years of age or symptomatic adolescent (cough, and / or fever, and / or digestive disorders) must have a screening test before returning to the community unless a diagnosis of another infectious disease is made with certainty (Scarlatina, angina with GAS, enterovirus, urinary tract infections) “, specifies the French Society of Pediatrics (SFP) in its recommendations.

For children actually positive for Covid-19, they must be excluded from class for 7 days, “Possibly longer if symptoms persist, specifies the SFP. A PCR control is not necessary for the return to the community, because the transmissibility is now shown to be maximum during the incubation phase, and low after 7 days. “

He also confirmed that your relative had a history of theft, but reiterated that this was no reason to kill him.

“Is there no justice for him?” Yamile wondered at the end, also clarifying that they do not know the man’s whereabouts that, supposedly, he was with his nephew at the time of the events.

Masks should not be mandatory for children under 5 years: WHO

August 26, 2020August 26, 2020 by drbyos

A group of experts assembled by the World Health Organization examined the evidence on COVID-19 and its transmission in children, as well as the limited evidence available on child use of masks.

Based on that analysis and taking into account other factors, such as psychosocial needs and developmental milestones of children, WHO and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) recommended that the use of a mask should not be mandatory for children under five years of age, for the sake of the safety and general interest of the child and given their inability to properly use a mask with minimal assistance.

The WHO and UNICEF recommend that children from 12 years of age use a mask in the same cases as adults, particularly when a minimum distance of one meter from others cannot be guaranteed and there is widespread transmission in the area.

Organizations advise, however, to always consult and respect the practices recommended by local authorities.

The masks that children should use

Generally healthy children can wear cloth or hygienic masks. In this way, it is possible to control the origin, that is, to avoid transmitting the virus to other people if the child is infected and is not aware that it is.

The adult providing the cloth mask should ensure that it is the correct size and sufficiently covers the child’s nose, mouth and chin.

Children with underlying health problems such as cystic fibrosis, cancer, or immunosuppression should, in consultation with their healthcare providers, wear medical or surgical masks.

Medical masks reduce the spread of the virus and protect the user and are recommended for anyone who is at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19.

The correct way to use the mask

Children should follow the same principles as adults regarding the use of masks. This includes cleaning your hands before putting on the mask for at least 20 seconds if using a hydroalcoholic gel or at least 40 seconds if using soap and water.

Make sure that the mask is the right size to cover the nose, mouth, and chin. Children should be taught to use the mask correctly and, among other things, not to touch the front of the mask, not to pull it towards the chin or to put it in their mouth. They should keep the mask in a bag or envelope and not share it with anyone.

Masks for children with COVID-19

All children with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 should wear a medical mask for as long as they can handle it. The child should be isolated and seek medical help as soon as she begins to feel ill, even if the symptoms are mild. Family members or caregivers who come within a meter of the sick child at home must also wear a mask.

Any household member who is ill or has tested positive for COVID-19 should isolate themselves from everyone else, if possible. If the child comes within one meter of a sick person at home, both the adult and the child should wear a medical mask during that time.

Masks and sports

It is not recommended for children to wear the mask while playing sports or physical activities, such as running, jumping or playing on the playground, so that it does not affect their breathing. When organizing these types of activities for children, it is important to apply the rest of the fundamental public health measures: maintain a minimum distance of one meter from others, limit the number of children who play together, facilitate access to facilities for hand hygiene and encourage their use.

Masks and visors as an alternative option

In the context of COVID-19, some children may not be able to use masks, either due to certain disabilities or in specific situations, such as speech therapy classes, in which the teacher needs to see their mouths.

In these cases, face shields can be considered an alternative to face masks, but they do not provide equivalent protection to avoid transmitting the virus to others.

If you decide to use a mask, it must cover the entire face, surround it on both sides and extend below the chin. In addition, care must be taken when using them to prevent them from breaking and causing injury to the eyes or face.

Adults should use a mask with children

In areas of widespread transmission, all adults under the age of 60 and in general good health should wear a cloth mask when they cannot guarantee a distance of at least one meter from others. This is particularly important for adults who work with children and who may have close contact with children and with each other.

People 60 and older and those with an underlying condition, such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung cancer, should wear a medical or surgical mask, as they are at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19.

The ‘Zurdo’ López underwent a catheterization and it is studied if they should operate

August 13, 2020August 13, 2020 by drbyos

The former Junior Technician Miguel Ángel López was hospitalized last Monday morning at the Clínica del Caribe, after feeling discomfort and abnormal pressure.

The news was known through social networks, after one of his pupils in the rojiblanco team, former striker Martín Arzuaga, reported his health status through Twitter.

“Let us put in our prayers Professor Miguel Ángel López, who suffered an acute myocardial infarction,” wrote the ‘Toro’.

Until the closing of this edition, no official medical report was known about the state of health of the ‘Zurdo’.

The Argentine, champion with the Sharks in 2004, has been based in Barranquilla for several years.

Francisco Arias, who works as López’s assistant, assures that the 78-year-old veteran helmsman “is stable, calm and in good spirits”, waiting for what the doctors decide.

“Still under observation. They’ve already had a catheterization that resulted in a clogged artery. The possibility of open heart surgery or another type of intervention is being studied, ”Arias told EL HERALDO.

The former technician, according to Arias, remains in constant communication with those closest to him. His relatives in Argentina have already been informed and are aware of his health, like many of Junior’s fans who have a feeling of admiration and gratitude for the star he helped embroider on the shield in 2004.

In dialogue with EL HERALDO, a few months ago, ‘El Zurdo’ had sent a message of affection and gratitude to the rojiblanca fans, in the midst of confinement due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I want to thank you for the affection that I always receive. I miss you. Thank you for making my days happy, ”said the historic Argentine coach at the time.

Miguel Ángel López was the coach of Junior’s fifth star in the second half of 2004, in that remembered final against Atlético Nacional, where the rojiblancos won 3-0 in the first leg, in Barranquilla, and then fell 5-2 in Medellín , saving himself in the last minutes with the remembered goal of Argentine defender Walter Ribonetto. The Sharks prevailed on penalties 5-4.

He directed the Barranquilla team on seven occasions. Without a doubt, he is a character that is 100% linked to junior history.

‘El Zurdo’ made his debut as a professional footballer at the University of Córdoba in 1962 and retired in 1975 at Atlético Nacional, a club where he made his debut as a coach a year later.

During his long coaching career, he has twice managed América de México, with whom he won two league titles in 1985 and a Concacaf Champions League in 1992.

He was also in the Independiente de Avellaneda, with which he raised the title of the South American Super Cup in 1995, and also in the Argentine Boca Juniors, Rosario Central, Ferro Carril Oeste and Arsenal.

He also went through the Mexican Chivas de Guadalajara, Santos Laguna, Toluca, León, Atlético Celaya and Puebla, as well as Al-Ahli from Saudi Arabia and Badajoz from Spain.
