When your baby is sick

A baby should rarely get sick because there is sustained high immunity when conceived or nursing mothers . Everyday illnesses like the flu ( which marked fever, cough , runny nose ) , another viral disease , bacterial infection or even be rejected .

What will you do when your baby is frequently sick? However, one of the most important is your quick and accurate response to face this condition.

This fact has long been recognized . Try it , if you live at home with a baby is a person with measles , then usually he will not easily infected .

But in fact , many children and babies become subscribers doctor every 2-3 weeks because of the same disease , alternating fever , cough , and runny nose . Until her parents do not know what to do anymore .



Originator of the disease in children is difficult to determine because it can vary, for example, less healthy environment , high pollution , and there is a smoker in the home . The use of air conditioning ( AC ) at night can cause allergic cold temperatures , making the child 's nose clogged so he had to breathe through the mouth . The fan is installed in the bedroom and blowing dust across the room .
Not to mention the transmission of the virus in schools and crowded places such as malls . Also nurses who are coughing and colds . There is also a rare occurrence ached from eating unhealthy snacks makes my throat tingle .

Fever along with cough and runny nose that occurs occasionally in 6-12 months is still considered reasonable . However , observations show that a visit to the doctor could occur every 2-3 weeks for years . If this is the case , then there are two possibilities in handling misnomer .

First , the treatment is always given antibiotics . Whereas 95 % attack cough and cold with or without fever caused by a virus , and antibiotics do not kill viruses . In addition to redundant , antibiotics are sometimes even dangerous side effects . If it is said to accelerate healing was not , because it is a viral disease will recover in a few days , with or without antibiotics . It has been proved by controlled studies repeatedly since the discovery of antibiotics in the 1950 - 1960 's. The result is always the same, so no need to doubt its truth .

On the other hand , even antibiotics kill good bacteria in the body that functions to maintain balance and avoid nasty germs invade the body . It also reduces the immunity of the child so that the durability decreases . As a result , the child falls sick every 2-3 weeks and need to be treated again . His parents then immediately buy antibiotics at the pharmacy or the market simply because their doctor whenever given the drug.

This vicious cycle : pain - antibiotics - decreased immunity - sick again , will make the boy bullied fever, cough , and cold throughout the year , for many years . Complications also often happens that finally brought him to the treatment room in the hospital .

Experience has shown , when stripped of antibiotic prescription ( temporary cough and cold medicines are adequate given ) , after 1-3 months , the child will not be easily attacked by the flu again . The growth of the body to be better .

The second misunderstanding is that the symptoms of coughs and colds are not treated properly , meaning that the treatment strategy needs to be changed . This is so because the drugs sold in pharmacies are not always able to overcome the problem of every patient . In fact , frequent coughs and colds even become more severe and prolonged .

A fundamental change in the recipe and the individual , needs to be done to break the vicious cycle of fever, cough , and runny nose is . The main thing is to stop the antibiotics , corticosteroids do not provide continuous , stopping cough suppressant drug administration and replace it with bronchodilators , as well as providing a new mix of cold medicine . Ephedrine small dose - mixed with antihistamines are effective - is the best cold medicine . Meanwhile , all the drugs that were not proven to be effective needs to be stopped .

Last, but not least , look for trigger factors listed at the beginning of this paper . When found , avoid . Hopefully you do not need anymore children so often seek treatment because of the flu ! Good luck !
