The kid went to kindergarten and began to cling to all garden infections in a circle? A happy first-grader was eager to go to school, and now he regularly sits at home with complications from ordinary seasonal illnesses? What is happening and how can you strengthen children’s immunity? Let’s figure it out!
First of all, you need to understand that children’s immunity is a delicate mechanism that is in the midst of the process of tuning and self-regulation. Even a child who rarely got sick in infancy, after getting into a children’s team, can begin to cling to everything.
By themselves, frequent illnesses, which pass quickly enough and without any particular complications, are normal and indicate an adequate response of the immune system. This is a natural training of immunity: for the first time, the body encounters pathogens of various infections that were not in its home environment, and begins to form a response to them.
Here is what our expert Professor A.P. Prodeus says:
“It’s not the quantity, but the quality of the diseases. That is, it is important not how many times a year a son or daughter gets sick, but what they get sick with. Even ten ARVIs that have passed quickly and normally are not an indicator. But if a child has four or five bronchitis, otitis media or other complications a year, this is already a wake-up call. And we have to look at what is with immunity. “
Classic methods of strengthening the body
Of course, hundreds of articles have already been written about the benefits of hardening and proper nutrition. We will not repeat common truths or talk about the benefits of a contrast shower in the morning. Let’s better talk about the so-called natural hardening – about the ability of parents to trust their feelings and, most importantly, their children in matters of heat transfer, cold and comfort.
Natural hardening starts small. Withstand the pressure of grandmothers and not wear warm socks at home. Learn to ventilate the room every two to three hours and leave the window ajar overnight. Trust a child who refuses to go out in three layers of clothing and asks to take off his hat in April. Give the baby the right to choose in which pajamas and under which blanket to sleep. This is how the child’s body will learn heat regulation, self-heat up and train its defenses.
Collective Immunity Training
As we have already said, the children’s team in itself is an excellent simulator for the immune system. However, what if the child for some reason does not attend kindergarten? Other collective activities can come to the rescue: developmental circles, music and acting schools and, of course, sports sections.
Particular attention should be paid to the following sports:
· swimming and water polo – these exercises have a general heating effect, and also help to strengthen the back and unload muscles;
· football is a general strengthening sport that combines different types of stress on the body;
· athletics perfectly trains the cardiovascular and respiratory systems of the body.
Of course, playing sports is great for strengthening the immune system and “garden” children.
Competent support of the body in the fight against infections
What if the parent thinks that the measures taken may not be enough and the child continues to cling to everything? Special immunostimulating drugs, in particular bacterial lysates, can also support the child’s immune system and help the body fight various infections.
Here is how Professor A.P. Prodeus comments on their action:
“These preparations contain processed particles of bacteria that cause respiratory diseases. Once in the body, they begin to interact with it, stimulating innate, nonspecific immunity. In other words, they kind of push the cells to resist more actively the infectious agents entering the body. “
Such means include, for example, a modern drug … It stimulates immunity at the local and systemic levels and is used as part of combination therapy to combat infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract: otitis media, bronchitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, tonsillitis.
Many experts (in particular, Professor A.P. Prodeus) recommend and for the prevention of exacerbations of such diseases. This is especially important on the eve of seasonal epidemics – for enhanced protection of the body against pathogens of various infections. In addition, a preventive course can be recommended when a child enters a new team in order to maintain local and systemic immunity in contact with new infections for him.
In other words, in many situations can defend the child’s body and try to help him in the fight against major childhood infectious diseases!
