Vaccination for respiratory diseases in the elderly

Vaccination against influenza is an effective means to prevent influenza, which can reduce the risk of influenza and serious complications. The old people were vaccinated with influenza, pneumococcus and other respiratory diseases, and the results showed that it was safe and effective. In the process of inoculation, attention should be paid to:
1. Those who have a clear history of severe allergy to vaccines to be vaccinated or to be vaccinated, or vaccines with similar technical routes, cannot be vaccinated again;
2. If you have a chronic disease and are in an acute episode, you need to slow down the inoculation and consider vaccination after your health is stable;
3. Vaccination doctors should strictly implement the vaccination work norms. If there is any health damage or other reaction suspected to be related to vaccination after vaccination, they should seek medical advice in time and report.

Children have fever and cough.
There are no signs of aggravation, so you don’t have to go to the hospital repeatedly.
The child has a respiratory disease, and the main symptoms are fever and cough.
Wang Quan, chief physician of Beijing Children’s Hospital, National Children’s Medical Center, said in an interview with CCTV reporter that fever and cough are almost inevitable after respiratory infection. As long as there are no signs of aggravation in this process, there is no need to go to the hospital repeatedly.
"The purpose of taking antipyretics is not to lower the body temperature to normal, but to increase the comfort of children and let them spend the fever period safely and comfortably. All diseases have a recovery process, especially for diseases with respiratory virus infection, which usually takes 3 to 5 days to recover. "
In addition, Wang Quan said that parents are usually not advised to give their children antitussive drugs by themselves. Cough is a protective reflex of the human body. It is good for children to relieve their illness by coughing it out because of throat discomfort or secretions in the respiratory tract. If cough seriously affects children’s sleep, parents can relieve it by atomization under the guidance of a doctor.
