Modern children, unfortunately, cannot boast of excellent health and strong immunity. And this is even regardless of what kind of lifestyle their parents led before and after the birth of the baby. So what can be the reasons that children often get sick, and what to do in such situations?
About the reasons
It is necessary to solve the problem by clarifying its causes, everyone knows about it. So why do some children get sick often? First of all, the reason for this may be rather close contacts with infected people. Most often this happens in kindergarten, school, in the market, where the baby can go shopping with her mom, and even in public transport. The bad atmosphere of the place where he lives also affects the baby’s health. So, the child’s room should be ventilated, moderately warm (in no case hot), it is necessary to monitor the level of humidity. Often, a peanut can become ill due to a sedentary lifestyle, too short walks in the fresh air. The kid is more likely to get sick from a small draft that will slip through the house, rather than from wet mittens from melt snow in the winter. Oddly enough, those babies who are malnourished often get little vitamins and nutrients. So, parents should carefully monitor the diet of their child, excluding all harmful products and saturating the body with only useful trace elements. Well, and one more, very global reason why children often get sick: poor ecology. And if you can somehow cope with the previous options yourself, then, unfortunately, parents cannot afford to improve the level of ecology in the whole region.
What to do?
The next question that may worry many parents is: "What if children often get sick?" The first thing that logically comes to everyone’s mind: to find out the reasons for this situation. To do this, you may need to consult a pediatrician, who, in turn, can redirect to an ENT specialist, an allergist, and other doctors. In addition to medical intervention, the mother should monitor the temperature and humidity in the child’s room, limit the stay of her baby in front of a computer or TV, and take more walks with her own child in the fresh air. It is also necessary to ensure that the little one has enough physical exercises for the development of the body. Even such simple actions can significantly strengthen the child ’s immunity . In addition, it is also good to temper your crumbs. You can do this already from the first years of life. Good dousing or rubbing with cool water, visits to the pool, therapeutic exercises. However, certain measures must be followed so as not to disturb the thermoregulation of the baby and not completely kill his immunity. Various preventive measures to prevent certain diseases can be excellent helpers.
Medical assistance
What else can you do if, for example, a child (3 years old) is often sick? Doctors may recommend vaccinating the baby when another outbreak is predicted. So, it’s good to carry out such actions with children who go to kindergarten or school. If, for example, a child often has a sore throat, it is necessary to seek help from a narrow specialist - an otolaryngologist, who can tell you what is the reason and what are the ways of treating such a problem.
