How to treat the child at a viral disease

The organism of the child is weaker, in comparison with the adult therefore it is more subject to various viral diseases. At treatment of such disease children have a mass of risks - to be infected most or to receive complications at the kid. How to make everything it is correct?

Instruction

1. If the kid got sick, it is important to define precisely, the virus or bacterial nature of his disease. You as nobody else, you know the child. Watch him and its environment, especially carefully if he visits child care collective facilities - kindergartens, schools, circles on interests. If in group there are a lot of children who seem to you patients, or the quarantine is announced, at the same time your child has no viral diseases inoculations, then it is better to refrain from visit of similar institutions. If your child after all felt badly, call the doctor, but you do not hurry to start implementation of all its recommendations at once. As a rule, doctors very often for the sake of reinsurance appoint antibiotics. It is wrong as many viruses are persistent to antibiotics not of a broad spectrum of activity, besides, these drugs kill microflora, and except the main disease it is possible to earn a little accompanying, for example, diarrhea, the broken function of kidneys and a liver, a medicinal allergy which can lead even to asthma.

2. Put the child to bed, give him hot drink and provide rest. As hot drink teas and fruit drinks will approach. Do not give to the kid various advertized anti-cold solutions - "Coldrex", Teraflya and others. In them there are no antiviral medicines, generally they consist of febrifuges that can grease all picture of a disease and prevent to establish the exact diagnosis. At a viral disease an incubation period very short. Depending on immunity of the child, it can last from one to five days. Such period can be followed by high - till 39-40 With a temperature, plentiful allocations from mucous nasopharynxes, slackness and drowsiness.

3. Further the so-called period of a prodroma when the virus already extended on the child's organism follows, but the immunity did not begin to cope with a disease yet. At this particular time it is important to begin treatment of the child. Consult with the doctor. Antiviral medicines have to be the best, the last generation, not having destructive impact on a liver, a kidney and an endocrine system. Of course, such medicines are not cheap, however they will help to cope about a disease better and will not cause accustoming and also a medicinal allergy. The child has to be in rest and recover up to the end. Even if it already seems to you healthy, do not hurry to send it to child care facilities. The kid can overcool or sweat, drink cold water, eat ice cream that will provoke return of a virus and the second wave of a disease. Take the child 2-3 more days on a quarantine and having only made sure that the disease completely receded, be restored to usual life.
