– The child’s immunity depends on heredity, daily routine and nutrition – it must be correct and healthy. Physical culture and sports are no less important, a special place should be given to the intake of vitamins and microelements. In the struggle for a strong immunity of the child, the main role is played by the fight against chronic foci of infection, the correction of endocrine disorders, the treatment and prevention of gastroenterological diseases. Taking into account the sad statistics (up to 90% of insemination by parasites), it is necessary to carry out antiparasitic therapy in a timely manner in combination with correctly selected hardening procedures, a day and rest regimen, physiotherapy procedures, massage, swimming, and regular medical examination. All this will help make your child’s immunity strong.
Doctors of the Slavia clinic – pediatrician, pediatric ENT, immunologist, allergist, endocrinologist – take a comprehensive approach to strengthening the immune system in children, choosing individual programs for the treatment of acute respiratory infections, bronchitis for each child, using the most modern methods of treatment, including physiotherapy, massage and swimming – even for children under one year old.

– Of course, adherence to the daily regimen, good nutrition, hardening, walks and active games in the fresh air make the baby healthier and strengthen his immunity. Taking medications containing vitamins A, E, C helps in the prevention of colds. It is impossible not to recall the healing properties of herbal medicine – drugs based on echinacea, pelargonium, St. John’s wort, rose hips, currants have been known for a long time. Knowledge of the acupressure technique (acupressure) and its use not only for prevention purposes, but also at the very beginning of the disease will help to quickly cope with the disease. With the onset of autumn, the incidence of viral infections also increases. To combat them, antiviral drugs are used according to the prophylaxis scheme, drugs for immunocorrection. But these drugs cannot be used without medical advice, since they have contraindications. Timely vaccination against viral and microbial diseases will also help you and your child stay healthy. Know: in order not to get sick, you need to make a lot of effort. And the reward for this work will be a strong, healthy child and a happy family!

Artem Mikhailovich Levchin, pediatrician, “Smart Clinic” medical center
– The child’s body is most susceptible to viral infections in the autumn-spring periods, and also, this can be associated with the beginning of a child’s visit to an organized team. Parents should pay great attention to the child’s clothes, because our weather is unstable. The same temperature can be felt in different ways. Wind, humidity – everything influences. +10 in autumn and +10 in spring are two different things. However, the advice “one layer more than yourself” is definitely a thing of the past. Today, high-tech clothes are produced for children – where an adult needs a sweater, a thin turtleneck is enough for a child. At air temperatures from -5 to +5, I would recommend this option: a long-sleeved T-shirt, membrane or padding overalls, winter shoes for tights, woolen mittens or gloves, a wool or mixed with acrylic hat.
An important element of prevention is hardening. It does not require very low temperatures, but contrast and systematic procedures are important. Hardening procedures must be combined with gymnastics and chest massage. If the child is kept in greenhouse conditions, it is important to start with creating a stimulating temperature environment: clothes that are appropriate for the weather, normal temperature in the apartment (18-20 ° C during the day and 2-4 ° lower at night). Already from the first year, the child should be taught to walk (up to four hours a day). Massage is one of the methods in modern medicine, which is used as a therapeutic, prophylactic, health-improving and hygienic means, which is of great importance in pediatric practice.
At the first symptoms of ARVI, it is necessary to start rinsing the nose with an isotonic solution. Most antiviral drugs are not recommended for self-administration. For a more rational and correct treatment of ARVI, you need to consult a doctor.
Only until October 31, 2015 at the “Smart Clinic” medical center, the appointment of a pediatrician is free!
