As a vulnerable group in society, children not only mean that they are unable to contact society, but also include external environmental factors. The modern environment is full of various viruses, and children are unable to resist the invasion of viruses. Compared to other populations, the treatment of nephrotic syndrome in children is fraught with difficulties, seriously endangering the lives of children.
Eat 1 to 3 grams of salt every day. When swelling is severe, avoid salt completely, and limit the amount of water you can drink slightly. After treatment, increase the salt content in food and give potassium chloride, calcium tablets, etc. orally. Prolonged low salt or salt intolerance can cause symptoms of low sodium, such as loss of energy, vomiting, irritability, urination, and decreased blood pressure.
Experts suggest that children with nephrotic syndrome should pay attention to the following points:
Children should not be tired. Children have poor self-discipline, and when they return home from the hospital, they will feel very fresh, easily get tired from playing, and lack sleep. Parents should pay special attention to arranging their children's work and rest schedules, and try to get sufficient rest.
Children should not eat salty food. It is very important for children whose blood pressure has not yet dropped to normal to pay attention to reducing salt in their diet. However, salt free meals can affect appetite, so it is advisable to use a low salt diet. After swelling and high blood pressure disappear, you can improve your regular diet, but it should also be light and not too salty. Mantou and soda biscuits also contain sodium, so it is best not to give them to children. Children can eat some fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement their body with vitamins.
Children's clothes should not be worn for a long time without changing. Infection is often the cause of relapse in kidney disease. Frequent bathing and changing clothes to keep your skin clean can prevent skin infections.
Children should not go to public places. To maintain fresh indoor air, try not to take children to public places such as shops and cinemas. Pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes according to climate change to prevent colds.
5. It is not advisable to arbitrarily reduce the dosage or discontinue the medication. Treatment of kidney disease mostly requires taking hormone drugs. "Children who are taking hormones must, under the guidance of a doctor, gradually reduce their dosage as their condition improves until they stop taking drugs.". Parents should urge their children to take the prescribed amount of medication on time, and should not arbitrarily reduce or discontinue medication to prevent recurrence of the condition.
Children with nephrotic syndrome should pay more attention to rest. As a parent, first of all, you should limit your child's activity. Don't put too much salt in your dishes. It's best to eat more high-protein foods. Meat, eggs, and beans all contain more protein, which can increase this type of diet.
