>> WE’RE WRAPPING UP OUR KSAT KIDS SUMMER SAFETY SERIES AND TODAY OUR FOCUS IS ON THE MAIN
PART OF SUMMER SIGN THAT’S
RIGHT GETTING SOME SUN CAN BE A
GOOD THING FOR YOUR KIDS BUT
GETTING TOO MUCH CAN HAVE
DEADLY EFFECTS AND EVEN CAUSE
DEHYDRATION FOR MORE WE TURN TO
DOCTOR JOE FOR RARE US WITH
THAT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, SAN
ANTONIO, GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE YOU ALL
DOING TODAY WHERE GOOD THANKS
FOR JOINING MOST PARENTS KNOW
TO USE SUNSCREEN ON THEIR
CHILDREN. BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW
IF YOU’RE USING THE RIGHT
SUNSCREEN.
>> THAT’S A VERY GOOD
QUESTION THAT’S A VERY BIG
QUESTION THAT POPS UP THIS TIME
OF THE PROFESSION AND THEY WENT
TO ITS LIKE SUNNY AND IT’S
BECOMING MORE SUNNIER RAINS IN
THE PAST BUT THE BIG ISSUE IS
HOW DO I MAKE SURE MY KID GETS
THEIR VITAMIN D WAS THE BEST
SOURCE OF VITAMIN D’S OBVIOUSLY
THE SIGN. BUT WHY WHY COULDN’T MY KIDS FROM GETTING BURNED FROM THE SAME SIGN
AND SO TYPICALLY WE RECOMMEND
IS WEARING LIGHT-COLORED
CLOTHING COTTON CLOTHING
COVERING AS MUCH OF THE SKIN AS
POSSIBLE THAT’S
ALWAYS BETTER. THE USE OF
CHEMICALS IN SUNSCREENS
HOWEVER, WHEN YOU DON’T USE
SUNSCREENS USING IN MINERAL
BASED SUNSCREEN IS USUALLY
WHAT’S RECOMMENDED NOT A
CHEMICAL
THEY SUNSCREEN AS CONVENIENT AS
THE SPRAY SUNSCREENS
ARE WE USUALLY PREFER THE
CREAMS WHICH TEND TO BE LESS
CONVENIENT BUT THEY ARE BY FAR
MY SAFER AND BETTER FOR
CHILDREN THAT FIRST RELEASED
PREACH ABOUT HYDRATION THIS
TIME OF YEAR HOW MUCH WATER.
>> YOU KIDS NEED WHEN THEY’RE
PLAYING OUTSIDE.
>> REALLY THE QUESTION YOU KNOW
I GET THAT A LOT TO IT’S
DIFFICULT TO KNOW SINCE THERE
ARE SO MANY VARIABLES HOW HARD
IS IT HOW HUMID IT IS IT
HOW LONG WERE YOU OUTSIDE WHAT
ARE YOU EATING AND WHAT YOUR
ACTIVITY LEVEL AS WELL AS THE
TO THE CHILD.
WHAT I LIKE TO TELL MY PATIENTS
HAVE WATER ACCESSIBLE TO
THE KID EVEN TODDLERS EVEN KIDS
UNDER THE AGE OF 12 MONTHS WILL
ACCESS WATER IN ACTUALLY DREAM
THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WATER IF
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO IT SO
MY RECOMMENDATION.
>> ALWAYS HAVE WATER AVAILABLE
WITHIN ARM’S REACH WITHIN
HIS REACH AT ALL TIMES SO THAT
THEY CAN DREAM CONTINUOUSLY
WHILE THEY’RE BEING EXPOSED.
CLUES THAT THEY’RE GETTING
ENOUGH WATER IS GOOD A YEAR NOW
COLLECT SO NOT ONLY HOW
FREQUENT THEY P WHICH THEY
SHOULD BE LEERY ABOUT EVERY
COUPLE OF HOURS.
BUT YOU ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE NEW YEAR IS CLEAR
ALMOST COMPLETELY CLEARS ARE
USUALLY GOOD INDICATOR.
>> AND KIND OF SPEAKING OF THAT
WHAT ARE SIGNS OF TOO MUCH SUN
AND DEHYDRATION.
>> TOO MUCH SUN, YOU KNOW YOU
KNOW AFTER THE FACT WHICH
OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO BE SOME
BURNS BUT TOO MUCH SUN AND THE
HYDRATION
IN PARTICULAR YOU MIGHT SEE A
CHANGE IN THE KIDS BE THEY
MAYBE COME. THE TEAM
LOOKING RETIRED APPEARING YOU
MIGHT NOTICE THAT THEIR
URINATION DROPS OFF SAID SHE
WAS GOING TO BE YOUR FIRST
CLUE, SO DRY DIVER LAST YEAR
AND I’LL PUT MORE CONCENTRATED
HERE IN DRY MOUTH OR CRANKY THEIR FLASH THEIR HOT TO TOUCH SPECIALLY IF
THEY QUIT SWEATING IS USUALLY A
CLEAR INDICATOR THEY MIGHT NOT
HAVE ANOTHER HYDRATION AND MAY
BE GETTING TOO MUCH SUN.
>> SPEAKING UP WHEN IT COMES TO
DEHYDRATION AND KIDS HOW DO
WE KNOW THEY ARE TOO DEHYDRATED
AND IT’S ACTUALLY RISEN TO THE
LEVEL OF AN EMERGENCY.
>> WELL THAT’S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION CAN BE VARIABLE
DEPENDING ON THE KIDNEY AGE OF
THE CHILD, BUT USUALLY IF
THEY’RE NOT ACTING REALLY IF
THEY’RE NOT INTERACTING WAY YOU
WOULD NORMALLY SEE THEM
INTERACTING ANSWER THE QUESTION
THEY SEEM TO
BE CONFUSED. URINE OUTPUT HAS
DROPPED OFF CONSIDERABLY IF
THEY’RE WORKING HARD TO 3 HOT
TO TOUCH AND FLASHED MAYBE
SOMETIMES PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE
SUSPECT BUT THAT CAN BE LAID
SIGNS OF STILL IT’S THE DIAPER
IT’S USUALLY GOING TO BE THE
YOU KNOW DRY MOUTH IF YOU SEE A
DRY MOUTH OR NOSE AND THEIR
MOUTH INSIDE IS TACKY
TO TOUCH. THAT’S USUALLY A BAD
INDICATION THAT YOU PROBABLY
NEED TO MOVE THEM INTO A COOL
AREA. TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHING
GET SOME WET, COOL THINGS
ON THEM MAYBE PUT SOME WET
TOWELS AROUND
THEIR NECK. SO WHAT TAOS AND
THESE AREN’T THAT’S ME THEN
THEIR DIAPER AREA AND DON’T
HESITATE TO CALL EMS IF YOU ARE
VERY CONCERNED THAT YOUR CHILD
IS NOT I CAN WE BORROW MONEY IS
ANOTHER INDICATOR IS THE ENEMY
WOMAN AND THEIR OUTSIDE AND HE
MAY BEGIN TO LIGHT THAT’S
ALWAYS A BAD INDICATION THAT HE
NOT ONLY CAN HYDRATE BUT THEY
MAY BE OR HE DID.
>> VERY SCARY BUT VERY HELPFUL
INFORMATION. THANK YOU DOCTOR
FOR A CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL THANK
YOU FOR JOINING US
