– Over the course of several years of my work as a pediatric gastroenterologist, I have noted a tendency towards an increase in functional disorders and chronic diseases of the digestive system, not only in school-age children, but also in a large number of preschool children. And every year before the New Year holidays, the parents of my little patients ask me the same question: How many tangerines can a child eat per day? And at what age can you give them?
The answer is: tangerines are citrus and therefore often cause allergies. For this reason, you should not overeat and give them to children under 2-3 years old. Ascorbic acid in the composition of tangerines can irritate the gastric mucosa, so they should not be used for peptic ulcer disease, high acidity and during exacerbation of inflammatory diseases of the stomach and intestines.
Large amounts of carotene and vitamin A in tangerines can build up in the liver and damage it if the organ is weakened by disease.
You definitely don’t need to eat a kilogram. If there were a history of allergic reactions to citrus fruits, then tangerines should be completely excluded. If there were no allergic reactions in history, then you can eat 2-4 tangerines, but not reach the level of a kilogram.
It’s no secret that many parents would like to see their child healthy. So give him health!
Network of multidisciplinary clinics has developed a special Annual Health Policy for children – GASTRO, which is intended for the smallest patients from 0 months and for adolescents up to 18 years.
In the Annual Health Policy, children – includes:
5 pediatrician appointments,
1 appointment with a gastroenterologist,
2 general blood tests,
2 general urinalysis,
1 general analysis of feces,
1 ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs (liver, gallbladder and pancreas).
This policy can be used for prophylactic purposes for examining the function of the digestive system and for diagnosing those who already have some functional disorders or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. For example, after the New Year holidays, when your baby ate sweets, tangerines and complained of abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, heartburn and intestinal dysfunction, having such an Annual Health Policy for children-GASTRO, you can also use it.
There is never too much health!
