June
Generally May is the most comfortable and beautiful month in a year, but this year it seemed that impression is wrong and seems like rainy season has already started.
Elementary school student and junior high school student are getting used to their school lives but also are getting tired because have an annual event like a sports day under sudden high temperature as summer and occasionally get caution of heatstroke. Their parents are worry about a traffic accident and a juvenile crime because recently there’re many reports about them. Kid’s social life is changing nowadays as both of their parents have a job and as reduction of playground where children could have fun freely, instead of that they stay at home with playing games or doing computers. My impression about what’s happing here is the development of hygienic is generating but the development of mind is degenerating, after prevailed COVID-19.
Recently many fathers take their children to pediatric outpatient than before. They used to know nothing about what was their children eat or how much were there weight, and it used to be taking a time when answering a detailed questions time ago, but now they know about their everyday life well and that’s a big help for doctors.
Infectious disease spreading is calm. Infectious gastroenteritis is common for seasonal reason.
One thing to watch out is slapped cheek syndrome (erythema infection). Its causative virus is human parvovirus B19 and it spreads every 5 years, its symptom is having eczema which appears mainly on both cheeks and on the limbs and torso. It’s difficult to stop infecting because the patient was infected with it 7 to 10 days before when eczema appeared, which means he infected it with other parson already. Ordinary children take about a week to disappear erythema but sometimes it appears again, you have to be careful about.
Special attention is required for patient who with underlying blood disorders, is required for pregnant women because she has a risk of miscarriage. Once you infected with slapped cheek syndrome, you’ll never be infected with whole life.
A few patients are infected with streptococcus infection, fixed number of patients of COVID-19 and influenza are there but decreasing.
You have to watch out heatstroke from now. Everybody knows how important about fluid intake but not about eating and sleeping. Enough sleep is the most important thing for growing, keep it on your mind.
