Today, all parents are sufficiently informed about the risks of seasonal diseases and possible infections. In fact, when the child is already sick, adults begin to look for good doctors and miraculous medicines. However, not everyone understands that the main task is to prevent the onset of the disease, and not to cure it correctly. There are quite a few ways to strengthen the immune system, which is the main obstacle for most harmful bacteria and viruses. If you regularly carry out preventive procedures, accustom your child to a healthy regime and proper nutrition - many diseases can be avoided.
Infectious diseases for children: prevention and treatment
All basic skills and habits are formed in a person from early childhood. Children react sharply to the behavior of parents, which are their main example. Therefore, the priority task of adults is to gently push the baby to the basics of a healthy lifestyle.
An essential role in the formation of immunity is played by children's hygiene. The habit of washing your hands thoroughly after games, walks, and toilet visits should be an automatic reflex for every child. Children should use personal hygiene products and wear only their clothes.
It is necessary to keep the house clean, regularly dust and carry out wet cleaning. Be sure to ventilate the room daily and prevent air from drying out. These simple steps can significantly reduce the risk of infection.
As known, transmitted in two ways: airborne or oral (dirty hands, food, toys). Therefore, prevention consists of basic hygiene rules.
An important role for the prevention of diseases and strengthening the body as a whole plays : It should be varied and balanced. Healthy food is a powerful regulator of all biological processes.
The peak of childhood infections occurs in the first decade of a child's life. An exacerbation is most often encountered when visiting social institutions (kindergartens, schools). When you "familiarize yourself" with foreign viruses and bacteria, the baby's body acquires immunity, and the frequency of diseases recedes over time. However, it is rather difficult to recognize infectious diseases at first. Therefore, if non-standard symptoms appear (rash, fever for more than 3 days, vomiting or diarrhea), you must immediately contact a medical institution.
Children's medical history: the meaning of the document
Each person should have chronological records that reveal the processes of his treatment for the period of a disease. Today, the patient’s medical history in most medical institutions is provided on paper, which records diagnostics, monitoring the patient during treatment and prescribed medications. This document gives the medical staff a complete picture of previous diseases, which allows you to adjust and select the optimal treatment in case of any disease.
Parents are required to keep a document on the child’s medical history. This will simplify the work of doctors in case of infections, and will help to prescribe the most effective treatment.
