How Do Healthcare Providers Manage Aerosolized Droplet Diseases in Children?
Pediatric healthcare providers follow strict infection control protocols to manage diseases spread by aerosolized droplets. These include:
- Isolation Practices: Isolating infected children to prevent transmission. - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using appropriate PPE, such as masks and gloves, to protect both healthcare workers and patients. - Antiviral Medications: In some cases, antiviral drugs may be prescribed to treat or prevent severe respiratory illnesses. - Supportive Care: Providing supportive care such as hydration, fever reducers, and oxygen therapy as needed.
