Don’t ignore the small black spots on your teeth, swim in summer, and beware of adenovirus infection
Many parents find that their children have fever symptoms after swimming, which is likely to be infected with adenovirus.
Adenovirus can cause infection of the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, eyes, liver and other organ systems, and patients will have symptoms such as fever, cough, nasal congestion, conjunctivitis, and abdominal pain. If adenovirus contaminates a swimming pool and spreads through contact or ingestion of contaminated water, it may cause “pool fever” or “pink eye.” If your child experiences any of the above discomforts after swimming, seek medical attention immediately.
Experts remind that parents should pay attention to check whether the swimming pool has sanitary licenses, water quality announcements and other materials before taking their children to swim in public swimming pools. Avoid letting your child swim with an open wound. If you have symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, and diarrhea, do not swim in public swimming pools.
Wash your body with running water and soap before and after swimming, and wash your perineum carefully. Wear swimming goggles and a swimming cap when swimming, avoid eye contact with pool water and try not to swallow pool water.
Is “touching high artifact” useful?
“Touching the height artifact” is based on touching the height and jumping, which stimulates the epiphysis of the lower limbs longitudinally during the jumping process, thereby promoting the growth and development of children. It is generally recommended that children over 5 years old can do it, 3-5 groups at a time, 10-12 in each group.
Touching the height and jumping can indeed be used as one of the actions to help children grow taller, but it should be done gradually and should not be excessive. If the child’s body is too tired, it will hinder the growth and development of bones.
In daily life, parents should also pay attention to let their children properly control their diet and supplement nutrition, but do not be superstitious about heightening supplements, which will lead to children’s obesity or induce precocious puberty, and overdraw their children’s future growth space; ensure adequate sleep, preferably before 10 o’clock in the evening Go to a deep sleep; exercise moderately, do not overdo it, and try to avoid weight-bearing exercises such as weightlifting, barbell, shot put, discus, etc.

Do not ignore the small black spots on the teeth
If a tooth has black spots and is not painful, there are two possibilities.
One is pigmentation such as smoke stains, tea stains, coffee stains, etc., which are difficult to remove by brushing, but can be removed by cleaning. The other is a tooth with deep or shallow decay.
The culprit of dental caries is certain bacteria in the mouth, but it also takes time for them to destroy teeth, usually 1.5 to 2 years from the initial discoloration to the final formation of cavities. During this period, paying more attention to the teeth can completely kill the caries in the budding stage.
In order to detect hidden tooth decay in time, it is recommended that the public visit a dentist for regular check-ups. Once the small black spot on the tooth is confirmed to be a caries, it should be repaired as soon as possible to stop the development of the lesion.
Usually pay attention to self-examination, observe the color, shape, texture changes of teeth, and also conduct a comprehensive oral examination every six months. If there is dental caries, it should be detected and treated as soon as possible.
