Cystitis. Medical care for a child

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, which affects girls more often than boys. It is caused by bacteria: E. coli or Staphylococcus aureus. The infection can enter the bladder from the kidneys or through the ureter, as well as through the blood. Very rarely, infection occurs by contact.

In girls, cystitis often begins after hypothermia, for example, swimming in too cold water, it is almost always the result of inflammation of the external genital organs - vulvitis. Non-compliance with the rules of the hyena, bathing babies in open water without swimming trunks leads to inflammation. Girls aged 4 to 7 years are especially susceptible to the disease, because their body is especially susceptible to infections. In boys, cystitis begins as a result of inflammation of the skin of the glans penis.

In babies, the cause of cystitis can be intestinal disorders and worms, especially pinworms, which during sleep can crawl into the urethra, and sometimes into the bladder.

With adenovirus infection, cystitis can occur with the release of blood impurities into the urine.

The first symptoms of the disease

Temperature increase.

Malaise, irritability, loss of appetite, nausea and even vomiting.

The smaller the child, the more pronounced the symptoms of general intoxication.

Older children have frequent urge to urinate, not only during the day, but also at night.

After urination, the child feels severe prolonged pain. Sometimes children experience urinary retention (it occurs due to the child's fear of discomfort).

Urine becomes cloudy, sometimes with clots of fresh blood, which is a sign of a severe inflammatory process.

When to see a doctor

If you experience pain when urinating and blood in your urine, call emergency services.

If you have other symptoms of cystitis, contact your local pediatrician or urologist.

What to do before the doctor arrives

1. Eliminate spicy and fatty foods, preservatives from the diet.

2. The child must follow a dairy-vegetarian diet.

3. Provide your baby with plenty of drink - tea, compote, juices. A large amount of liquid drunk reduces the concentration of urine, and this reduces its irritating effect on the nerve endings of the inflamed mucous membrane of the bladder and helps to flush out microbes and their metabolic products - toxins.

4. To relieve pain, do sitz baths with a warm, weak solution of furacilin (0,02%) or with a decoction of chamomile.

Traditional medicine

The husk of bean pods is a good remedy for cystitis. Take 6 tbsp. spoons per 1 liter of boiling water. Insist 2 hours. Let your child drink 1/4 cup 3 times a day while warm.

Tea from the leaves of the Tatar: 1 tbsp. teaspoon for 300 ml of boiling water. Leave for 1 hour. Let your child drink 1/4 cup 3 times a day.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.
