Health baby - the main reason for alarm parents. No sooner had the baby sneeze, mother immediately puts him SARS diagnosis and prescribe treatment. At crumbs loose stools? Surely, this is a serious illness - urgent medical attention. And well, if the doctor is competent and dispel parental anxiety. But, alas, it happens in a different way: doctor intentionally (because it has signed an agreement with the pharmaceutical company and receives a percentage of sales), or simply out of ignorance, puts non-existent diagnosis and assigns useless and sometimes harmful treatment.
Editorial Kolobok.ua decided to find out in which cases parental fears are justified and indeed necessary to go to the pediatrician, and when help home therapy, making corrections in a day or power mode.
AVITAMINOSIS
This diagnosis some doctors explain the malaise, headaches, skin problems, hair and nails, as well as a tendency to frequent seasonal diseases. Typically, these professionals work with companies that sell all kinds of bioactive supplements. They are easily diagnosed "beriberi" and offer to rectify the situation with the help of a miracle-a complex of vitamins and minerals.
But if we look at the medical reference, we see that beriberi - a complete lack of the vitamin in the body. To date, this is quite rare, and in fact requires medical intervention. In the offseason, there comes vitamin deficiencies. This disease is not treated and corrected. It is not necessary to take vitamins, enough to make changes to the power in favor of fruit and vegetables. The diet of the crumbs they are so abundant? There are cases where vitamin deficiencies associated with the baby's health. For example, the nutrients can not be absorbed simply, if there is a problem with the small intestine. Here, reception of vitamins will not help, they will also not be absorbed, it is necessary to eliminate the cause, not the effect.
Dysbacteriosis
Another disease that is very fond of our doctors and distribute a diagnosis of left and right. The kid does not eat, he had diarrhea, flatulence and indigestion? Everything is clear as day - it dysbacteriosis, says doctor and issues a costly probiotics.
In fact, this term refers to a violation of the intestinal microflora, which must certainly be the cause. The flora may be disturbed after receiving antibiotics, intestinal infection, unbalanced nutrition, in which a lot of sweet or fatty foods. If you can fix the violation of the microflora and its recovery, especially in children, it occurs rather quickly, and it makes no sense to spend money on unnecessary expensive medicines. Better to Treat the kid kefirchik yogurt or homemade, a portion of which can be leaven for 10 UAH in the local supermarket.
DIATHESIS
It must be said honestly, doctors rarely have put such diagnosis, more of his grandmother's love. At crumbs reddened cheeks, there was a rash, preet ass? Blame diathesis. In fact, the reasons for the skin rash may be many - among them streptoderma, diaper dermatitis, food allergy. Determine the reason for an expert to help you trust.
If we again turn to the medical directory, we see that it is called diathesis merely a genetic predisposition to certain diseases.
FALLS VISION
Especially often it occurs during adolescence. Mom prohibits a child to watch TV and sit at the computer, and then leads to costly ophthalmology private clinic where her suspicions, if not promptly intervene vision can really "fall", often confirm. And assign a course of 10-20 expensive (from 200 UAH.) Sessions on devices that are, fortunately, there are in the same ophthalmologic center.
How can the situation is really the case? In adolescence, there is a lot of hormonal changes, the body actively growing and developing, and eye muscle can not keep him. And will your child has good vision or not, depends not on whether he will be engaged in the costly apparatus or No, and even (note - now would be a seditious thing!) no matter how much time he spends on the computer or TV. And how good vision from his parents, because it is very much depends precisely on genetic predisposition.
Reduced immunity
Another diagnosis that justifies the fact that the child is often sick with seasonal diseases. Often it concerns "sadikovskih" children. And the fact that at this age produced the protective functions of the body, and frequent illness - only a "doctrine" for immunity, did not hear?
Unscrupulous doctors prescribe crumbs miracle droplets and other immune-boosting drugs, which (even homeopathic and the most that neither is natural) should be used with great caution, because if all the time to whip the body, can be brought very quickly to its full exhaustion. So do not hurry to stuff them crumbs, but rather provide him regular walks in the fresh air, tempering reasonable and balanced diet. Be healthy!
