It may sound trite, but the health of every child is in the hands of his parents. Of course, it is worth mentioning the unfavorable ecology, water, unhealthy diet – problems that add a lot of trouble. However, one should not lose heart and despair: there is a way out of any situation. Modern medicine, with its achievements, can do a lot. And, for example, to deal with disorders in the child’s body (until complete recovery!) Without medication and surgical intervention.
This is the main principle of the new direction of medicine – osteopathy, when the main emphasis is placed on the internal reserves of the child and with the help of special diagnostic and therapeutic manual techniques, effective treatment is carried out.
“By the way, the methods of osteopathy are distinguished by their mildness, so they do not cause fear or any discomfort in children,” says the director of the medical center. Hirudopractic Plus Tatiana Abroskina. – Note also that the main task of this area of medicine is to identify and eliminate the root cause of the disease. And the children’s body, according to experts, is capable of independently healing and protecting itself under external influence through the system of self-regulation and internal balance. Osteopathic correction is suitable for patients of all ages, regardless of health condition, including pregnant women and babies. “
Homeopathy is considered one of the most popular and promising areas in today’s medicine. The meaning of this technique is that the focus is on curing the disease and the emphasis is not on the symptoms of the disease, but on its causes. All therapeutic procedures have one goal: to activate the internal defenses of the sick child. The result of such a treatment gives a good result: without the help of antibiotics, harmful bacteria and viruses are removed from the body.
Therapeutic massage and children’s relaxation
Therapeutic massage for children, according to doctors, helps to cope with many diseases. It hardens and strengthens the body, has a tonic and calming effect. Therefore, many parents, realizing the effectiveness and benefits of therapeutic massage, try to regularly take their children to specialist procedures.
Acupuncture, in other words, acupuncture, is a method of treating affected organs, which was known in ancient times. Today it is widely used in modern medicine. And, despite the slight discomfort, this method helps to successfully treat many diseases in children.
And the last thing. Summer is a great time for the child to gain strength and health, but, of course, not within the “walls” of the city courtyard, but in health and sanatorium camps in our province. Fortunately, there are enough picturesque places in the region, as well as good and knowledgeable medical specialists.
In order for your child to have healthy and beautiful teeth in the future, you need to take care of this even from an infant diaper. And it all starts with the formation of “second nature” – a good habit, when oral hygiene is strictly observed. Parents sometimes carelessly and frivolously rely on “traditions”: they say, everything will come by itself, the first teeth will cut through, they will fall out, new ones will grow. However, they apparently do not know that children are born already with the rudiments of teeth, which are covered with gums.
And in order to avoid trouble in the future, you need to clean the baby’s mouth, starting almost from the first day of his birth. Of course, you need to do this with a gauze swab or soft washcloth at least twice. As soon as the first tooth appears, you should brush it with a soft bristled brush: first with water, and then, after consulting your dentist or pediatrician about the right time to use the toothpaste.
Your child is two years old – it’s time to teach him to brush his teeth using toothpaste. And it is desirable that it contains fluoride – a sure remedy in the fight against tooth decay. First, we put a small amount of the paste on the brush, then we are convinced with our own eyes that after brushing the teeth, the child spat everything out. Before he learns to wash his mouth on his own, after each procedure, you must brush his teeth with a swab moistened with water. It is important at this time not to give the child the opportunity to suck fingers or a pacifier: this habit can lead to unpleasant consequences.
Your child is already six years old: the long-awaited time has come when he needs to be prepared for the crucial moment. The first milk tooth that falls out should not cause fear and fear: the “tooth fairy” will be just happy with this gift …
If you have managed to teach your child how to maintain proper oral hygiene, then you can already allow yourself to take care of your teeth when he turns 10. And at 12, by the way, he should be able to use dental floss.
And now we will talk about diseases of the oral cavity in children that arise from parental carelessness. The most common of these is soft plaque or deposits. White food plaque is deposited not only on the gums, but also on the chewing surface of the teeth. And if not removed, it leads ultimately to the formation of hard supragingival calculus.
Green soft deposit or green calculus on teeth is a disease caused by a fungus that produces chlorophyll. It affects both temporary and permanent teeth of the child. According to dentists, green deposits are damaging to enamel.
We hope that many parents have understood one truth for themselves: healthy and beautiful teeth of a beloved child is a strict and responsible observance of cavity hygiene almost from the first day of his birth.

Children’s diathesis today is considered the most common disease and its causes lie not only in poor ecology, poor-quality water and poor nutrition. According to allergists, this disease lies in wait for the child from the very first days of his life.
For example, food diathesis can occur both in infancy and at an older age. Doctors believe that a child’s allergy is directly related to a change in diet. Of course, it is extremely difficult for parents to guess a product that the child’s gastrointestinal tract cannot handle. But we can say with some certainty that it is undesirable to use chocolate, milk, eggs, fish, seafood and some berries with food diathesis. These foods only increase the child’s allergies.
The causes of contact diathesis in children are the presence of aggressive substances in water or detergents that irritate the skin and lead to this disease. First, the water must be filtered to get rid of harmful impurities. Secondly, you can boil it: this old, proven method also allows you to purify water from aggressive substances. And third: parents should know that washing baby clothes and bedding should only be done with hypoallergenic detergents.
Dust, pet hair, dry food for fish, the use of deodorants, aerosols to create a pleasant smell in the room, as well as the presence of carpets in the apartment are irritants from which a child can get respiratory diathesis. If you eliminate these reasons and carry out wet cleaning about twice a day, then naturally, the risk of allergies in children will be much reduced.
If you do not start the treatment of children’s diathesis in a timely manner, then it can lead to serious consequences and complications. We are talking about atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma.
One of the conditions for the successful treatment of a child is taking care of his skin. For example, hypoallergenic emollients can be used for dry diathesis. When wet, the doctor will definitely prescribe a remedy that dries the skin and promotes the formation of dry crusts. Sometimes for the correct and timely development of the child’s immune system, allergists recommend drugs from the group of immunomodulators. But, unfortunately, they have a number of contraindications, and they should be used with a mandatory and thorough examination of the child.
To support the child’s body, you can take antipruritic drugs, vitamins, sedatives, as well as drugs that normalize the microflora. And one more thing: the child should drink water as often as possible, because allergens are eliminated faster and more actively in the urine. By the way, you should not wrap up your favorite child for a walk on the street.
It’s no secret that from the very day of birth, a child needs special, attentive care. Your baby is such a fragile and expensive creature, you need to handle him very gently and carefully. And at the same time to follow, not to lose sight of any little thing. It is from the first days of a child’s life that the formation and development of the musculoskeletal system begins. Therefore, for any slightest change, urgently contact an orthopedist.
When it comes closer to a year, some parents try to force events: they say, the sooner the baby gets on his feet, the faster he “grows up”. But human nature cannot be fooled, it has its own laws. And any attempt to interfere with her work is fraught with consequences. And even the use of aids – walkers, child seats can harm the child in the future. If, of course, this is done unwisely.
And now the long-awaited moment has come: your baby has taken the first steps in his life. Of course, such events are always joyful for parents. However, when experiencing a certain euphoria, do not forget to carefully follow the baby’s movements. If the child is slightly “clubfoot” or, figuratively speaking, rakes with his feet – there is a serious cause for concern. And there is no need to listen to the traditional words in this situation about, they say, “grandfather walked like that and daddy walked like that”. It is better and wise to go to a podiatrist to get informed specialist answers to your questions.
And he will explain in a popular form that the joints of your child’s whole body and spinal motion segments with such a “walk” will get used to an incorrect motor stereotype. If the course of treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, he (as he grows up) may experience pain in the back, in the shoulder joint or in the neck.
Therefore, try to take your child to the orthopedist every year: from one year to fourteen years. Prevention like this will ensure that he grows up healthy and lean. Of course, if you follow the instructions of specialists and follow the established rules.
In childhood, when the child is very active, parents need to be especially careful. Injuries, bruises can sometimes lead to alignment of the vertebrae, violation of posture in the future. And it is not surprising that today young men and women are susceptible to diseases such as kyphosis, scoliosis and osteochonropathy. However, as early as childhood, muscular dystonia of neurogenic origin, chronic diseases with metabolic disorders, which, due to parental carelessness, were not detected in time and, naturally, did not receive appropriate treatment, could be accompanied by incorrect posture. But there is nothing difficult in this: problems with the spine in a child are quite easy to detect. Some of the symptoms of the onset of the disease: chronic fatigue, nervousness or hyperactivity, joint pain, curvature of the neck, protruding shoulder blades, frequent falls. Therefore, always be attentive to your children: remember that their healthy future is in your hands.
