The basic principle of physical examination for children is to judge according to their physical strength. If the child is weak, the interval between physical examinations should be slightly shorter. With the growth of children's age and adaptability to the environment, the interval between two times can be slightly longer. Generally speaking, it is best for a baby within 6 months to have a physical examination once a month, at least not more than 2 months.
There are many things involved in feeding babies in this period. 7? 12-month-old babies should have a physical examination every two or three months. 1? Children under 3 years old should have a physical examination at least twice a year. Children over 3 years old should have a physical examination at least once a year. General health examination includes developmental state examination, developmental state examination, disease or abnormality examination, life state examination, etc.
Living conditions include conservation methods, nutrition supply methods, play methods, environmental safety measures and ways of contacting children. We can understand the above situations by checking the child's body or conducting a special examination, and then cooperating with the instructions of parents and recording them. Parents should be reminded that when giving their children a physical examination, they should not neglect the examination of the reproductive system. Congenital genital dysplasia is a common disease in children. In boys, diseases include cryptorchidism, phimosis, upper or lower urethral fissure, etc. In women, anal and vaginal atrophy, labial junction and hermaphroditism are more common.
It is best to choose the time when the child is most willing to cooperate when going to the hospital for physical examination. Generally speaking, it is better in the morning, because at this time, children have enough to eat and sleep, so it is easier to cooperate with the examination, and the hospital will not be as crowded as at noon. Some children think that the hospital is a terrible place, and they are afraid to go to the hospital. Parents need to find out the root of the problem. For example, some children are afraid to lie on the examination bed. You can bring a blanket or towel quilt under your child.
It may be a little nervous to tell the doctor before the physical examination, so that the doctor can slow down during the examination. During the physical examination, the mother always stays with the child, which will also ease the child's nervousness. Some parents take their children for regular physical examination, but the data are not well preserved, or they forget to bring their previous physical examination data during physical examination, or the physical examination location is not fixed, which is not conducive to systematically observing the growth and development of their children.
The results of physical examination can not determine a child's growth. Only by observing and comparing several times can we understand a child's growth trend. Therefore, parents must take good care of each child's physical examination records and medical history data, and bring the previous data to health care doctors for analysis and reference. It is best to have a relatively fixed doctor for physical examination. It is very important for children aged 0- 18 to have a regular physical examination, which can help parents find various problems in their children's growth in time, so as to achieve early detection, early intervention and early treatment. Under normal circumstances, babies less than 6 months should have a physical examination 1 time a month; 6 months-1 year, every February 1 time; 1-3-year-old children every six months1time; 3- 18 years old, once a year 1 time. China's "Maternal and Child Health Care Law" stipulates that children aged 0-7 should have regular physical examinations to ensure healthy growth. Under normal circumstances, children aged 0-/kloc-0 have physical examinations at least four times a year; 1-3 years old, with physical examination at least twice a year; 4-7 years old, physical examination at least 1 time every year; Therefore, systematic health care for children is also called 4-2- 1 physical examination. If there are high-risk factors for childbirth, the monthly physical examination should be 1 time within 6 months; 6 months-1 year, every 2 months 1 time; 1- 1.5 years old, every 3 months 1 time; 1 .5 —— check every two years1time.
Children's physical examination focuses on monitoring their growth and development, and finding abnormalities in physical and intellectual development in time. In addition to some routine examinations, bone mineral density, trace elements, intelligence level and hearing test are also the key items of children's physical examination. Older children should also be examined for hepatitis, poor eyesight, obesity, trachoma, intestinal parasites, anemia and malnutrition. What are the benefits of a child's physical examination?
1. By measuring various indicators of children's growth and development, we can know whether children's growth, development and nutritional status meet the normal indicators in time, and we can evaluate their growth, development and nutritional status according to these indicators.
2. The child's abnormal physical development can be found in time, and the reasons can be found out in time for correction or treatment.
3. Trace element detection can diagnose and find many children's health problems. The determination of trace elements is helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases caused by iron deficiency anemia, zinc deficiency, calcium deficiency, copper deficiency and magnesium deficiency, such as anorexia, baldness, rickets and inattention.
4, the whole body examination, can timely find the child's physical defects and some diseases, timely correction, such as poor eyesight, hearing loss, unclear language and "stuttering", early detection of some congenital and hereditary diseases, rickets, anemia, malnutrition and so on. , timely detection of mental retardation, early detection of causes, symptomatic treatment and intervention.
5, children's physical examination, you can also find the problems that parents have in feeding and caring for their babies, and give personalized guidance in time, such as how to add complementary food, when to wean, and how to carry out early education.
6. Children's physical examination can also prevent "adult diseases". Experts say that many adult diseases, such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and so on. Actually started in childhood. If we pay attention to prevention from childhood, the incidence rate in adulthood can be greatly reduced.
