For the mother the most important thing - the health of her child. Any discomfort the baby becomes a cause for concern. But there are a number of problems that children with age tend to develop. But this does not mean that they do not need to pay attention. The right to consult a pediatrician and keep the situation under control. If it does not change until a certain age, you should visit a doctor again, to make a survey and take action.
But, we repeat, panic had not worth the time. Just babies are born with immature organs and systems, and in the growth of the baby "matures." Your task - to create his most comfortable conditions for development, and likely health problems will be themselves.
Infant colic. I am familiar, almost all parents with this problem. The kid does not sleep and cries all the time. Most likely, the crumbs of colic. This is due to the fact that the newborn's digestive system is not yet formed, and peristalsis bowel weak, due to which increased gas formed, which causes painful and colic.
Alleviate the condition, you can use tea of fennel, dill some water, putting some baby on his tummy before feeding, massage and gym. You can also put on a warm tummy crumbs pelenochku. And to 3-4 (rarely 7-8) months the baby gets older and the problem solved itself.
Physiological phimosis.If you have a son, you are likely to encounter a problem when you can not push back the foreskin on the genitals and bare his head. According to doctors, with physiological phimosis born about 96% of future men. No reason to worry if the child does not feel at the same time pain, discomfort, it does not have inflammation.
The situation is usually changed to 3 years and the foreskin to become more mobile. Otherwise, consult your doctor, he will decide whether surgery.
Ear, nose and throat. Preschool children often have problems with adenoids. Under the influence of bacteria or allergens, they become inflamed. The situation usually changes after 7 years, and in most cases disappears in 12-14 years.
Still, if your child's adenoids have increased, it has difficulty breathing or is snoring at night, show him a good loru, he can assess the situation and to appoint maintenance therapy.
Another typical problem for children: runny nose, which quickly turns into otitis. This is due to the fact that the Eustachian tube which connects the nose to the ear is filled with mucus, which becomes a cause of inflammation. With age, the outflow of mucus improves, because with the change of the size of the skull varies the angle tilt, which is located under the Eustachian tube, and thus the probability of occurrence of otitis decrease.
Heat exchange. Babies first year of life is particularly necessary to protect both from overheating and hypothermia. The thing is that the mechanism of thermoregulation is not yet included in the total, and sweat glands are underdeveloped - the kids the first year almost do not sweat. Therefore, the baby's body temperature depends on outside temperature. Already by the age of 3-4 thermoregulation system finally formed and cause for concern is not.
Thymus (thymus). Very interesting organ of the lymphatic system, which is engaged in "training" the immune system. He is notable for the fact that it has a maximum size in childhood, in adolescence, the thymus begins to decrease, and in adults is virtually nonexistent. Thymus teaches lymphocytes to fight foreign bodies, that is, to resist diseases.
Active immunity learning occurs in sickly children, because every acquaintance infection contributes to the development of antibodies to it. Therefore, a child who suffers from viruses and colds as a child, as an adult is sick, usually rare. Therefore, when the baby is sick do not need to heal him with antibiotics, give immunity to work. Most importantly, keep crumbs from possible complications and the SARS virus.
Elevated acetone. Acetonemia, which is characteristic of nausea, vomiting and dehydration is more common in children slim mobile. This is due to insufficient amount of glucose in the body of the child because of what started the splitting of fat cells, increasing the level of ketone bodies and acetone levels.
Besides the fact that this condition is extremely unpleasant, children quickly develop dehydration, and this is very dangerous. Therefore, in the case of increasing the acetone level is required to replenish lost moisture and electrolytes give the child, for example, rehydron. Typically, enzymes that cleave the ketone bodies are formed to 8-9 years, and attacks acetonemia pass.
Nervous system. The child comes crying because he could not intercept the air and starts to choke? Doctors call this phenomenon of breath-holding spell and consider them one of the stages of development of the nervous system. They originate from a strong cry, emotional distress, pain, sudden fright. Kid silently screaming with open mouth and can not intercept the air, sometimes it may even lead to loss of consciousness.
When healthy emotional atmosphere in the family such attacks usually disappear on their own in 4-6 years. Otherwise, you should consult a neurologist. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
And be sure to ask, that can scare mom of a healthy baby in the first 100 days of his life.
