An 8-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital for vomiting and died 4 hours later! The doctor angrily rebuked: How could the parents do this?

Today, I want to tell you a heartbreaking story. It happened in my clinic, which made me deeply realize the fragility of life and the importance of parents' responsibilities. This happened to an 8-year-old girl. Her experience made me angry and made me reflect deeply. Just a few days ago, an 8-year-old girl was rushed to the hospital because of vomiting. Her name is Xiaohua, a little angel who loves to laugh, but that day, her smile was replaced by endless pain. She curled up in her mother's arms, her face pale, and her eyes full of fear. Looking at her weak appearance, my heart tightened. After a series of examinations, we found that her condition was already very serious, but shockingly, the cause of all this was a breakfast. In order to save trouble, Xiaohua's parents often gave her convenient and fast food, and rarely paid attention to the nutrition and hygiene of food. That morning, they gave her a sausage and a cup of overnight milk. No one expected that it was this breakfast that brought Xiaohua's life to an end. The sausage and overnight milk became deadly poison. The bacteria in them wreaked havoc in Xiaohua's body, causing severe vomiting, and eventually leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to save her.

As a doctor, I have seen many life and death situations, but this time, I was really angry!

A child's life is like a blank piece of paper, and a little stain can ruin everything.

How could Xiaohua's parents treat her body like this?

As parents, you should always be vigilant and provide your children with healthy food instead of just trying to save your time and letting your children suffer the consequences!

What caused Xiaohua’s tragedy?

"Xiaohua's" tragedy was caused by eating unsafe food.

Sausages and overnight milk may cause food poisoning or other health problems if they are not stored or handled properly.

If overnight milk is not refrigerated, it may deteriorate due to bacterial contamination and produce harmful substances, causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting in the consumer.

To prevent similar health risks, we should ensure that food is stored and handled in a safe environment and avoid consuming expired or improperly stored food.

If you experience similar symptoms, stop consuming it immediately and seek medical help.

The purpose of food storage is to keep food fresh, avoid contamination, and extend its edible period.

How to store food properly?

Here are some basic storage principles and methods:

Refrigerate or freeze

Refrigeration or freezing is a common food storage method, suitable for fresh fruits, vegetables, cooked food, etc.

Put the food into a fresh-keeping bag or box, seal it, and then put it in an appropriate place in the refrigerator or freezer.

Be careful not to put different types of food together to avoid mixing odors, and clean the refrigerator regularly to keep it clean.

Dry storage

By sun-drying, oven-drying or air-drying, food loses some of its moisture, thereby reducing the possibility of bacterial growth.

Foods suitable for dry storage include dried vegetables, beans, dried meat products, etc. After drying or baking the food, store it in a sealed bag or sealed jar.

Vacuum storage

Use tools such as vacuum bags or vacuum cans to isolate food from air and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth.

Foods suitable for vacuum preservation include some dried products, pickles, condiments, etc.

Put the food in a vacuum bag or jar, remove the air and seal it.

Salted preservation

Pickling food with salt can inhibit bacterial growth and extend the shelf life of food.

Foods suitable for salting include some seafood, meat, vegetables, etc.

After salting food, store it in an airtight container.

Canned storage

Putting food into sealed containers and sealing them tightly can prevent food from coming into contact with air and moisture, thereby extending the shelf life of the food.

Foods suitable for canning include some dried fruits and vegetables, pickles, condiments, etc.

Put food into airtight containers, seal them, and store them in the refrigerator or in a dry and ventilated place.

Precautions

For food that needs to be frozen or refrigerated, raw and cooked food should be separated (cooked food on top and raw food on the bottom), and should be separated or packaged individually as much as possible.

Refrigerated leftovers should be ensured to be free of spoilage and thoroughly heated before being eaten.

Maintaining good eating habits and a healthy lifestyle is also an important factor in ensuring good health.

The above provides some basic principles and methods about food storage.

In actual operation, the appropriate storage method should be selected according to the specific food type and needs, and attention should be paid to the freshness and hygiene conditions of the food.

In daily life, which foods are not suitable for children's growth and development?

Children are in a critical period of growth and development, and eating safe food is particularly important. The following are some foods that are not suitable for children:

Pickled foods: such as pickles, pickled vegetables, bacon, etc., because pickled foods have high salt content and may contain sodium dinitrate, which affects children's memory and IQ.

Foods containing lead: such as preserved eggs, canned food, etc. Lead is a toxic substance that may cause damage to children's brains.

Coffee: Coffee contains caffeine, which may cause children's brains to be in an excited state and affect their intellectual development.

Fried foods: such as fried fish, fried meat, French fries, etc. These foods have fewer nutrients and may be bad for brain health.

Barbecue food: This type of food may contain carcinogens and long-term consumption is harmful to your health.

Strong tea: Drinking strong tea may cause anemia in children and affect their intelligence.

Energy drinks: The ingredients in these drinks are not suitable for children and may affect their physical development and health.

Tea: It is not recommended for children under 6 years old, because the caffeine in tea may cause excitement of the central nervous system and affect sleep.

Honey: Honey is not suitable for infants under 1 year old because it may contain Clostridium botulinum spores, which may cause infant botulism.

Jelly: Children under 3 years old are not suitable for eating jelly as they may be inhaled into the trachea and cause suffocation.

Pickled foods such as pickles: These foods may cause high blood pressure in children in the future and contain carcinogens.

Tangyuan, Yuanxiao, and rice cakes: These foods are difficult to digest and may block children's respiratory tract.

Plums and candied fruits: These foods may cause tooth decay in children and may affect eating habits in adulthood.

Nuts such as peanuts and melon seeds: These foods may cause choking in children and cause serious suffocation.

Seafood: The protein and cholesterol in seafood may cause allergic reactions, especially in people with asthma.

Alcohol and alcoholic foods: Children's livers are not fully developed, and drinking alcohol may cause liver damage, and in severe cases may cause brain damage or death.

Please note that actual dietary recommendations should be consulted with a doctor or nutritionist. When feeding children, food safety and nutritional balance should be ensured, and appropriate adjustments should be made according to the specific circumstances of the child. Let us work together to give children a healthy childhood! Only in this way can they stay away from the troubles of disease and grow up happily. I hope that every parent can pay attention to this and don't let your negligence become a regret in your child's life.
