All children get sick from time to time and it is very important for parents to seek medical help on time to avoid the adverse effects of a particular disease. Today, more and more children suffer from a number of health problems - from mild to chronic forms.
Whether it is a congenital disease or a disease that affects a child at the stage of growth, any problems related to the health of children should be treated as soon as possible, as they may interfere with the child's physical or mental development.
Strong health of the child is laid in the womb and immediately after childbirth. The painful condition of the nursing mother, the refusal of breastfeeding and the malnutrition of the child for up to one year cause various diseases. This is anemia, rickets, as well as various infectious diseases in children.
Studies show that inadequate nutrition of schoolchildren leads to a number of diseases of the digestive, cardiovascular and genitourinary systems. The lack of vitamins in food leads to dental diseases, which are quite common today.
Contaminated environment, early work activity increases the traumatism and mortality of children.
Therefore, it is very important for parents to be aware of the widespread health problems of children.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
One of the modern problems of children's health is chronic fatigue syndrome. It can be a consequence of a flu or a viral infection. Most often the syndrome of chronic fatigue occurs in girls and occurs at the age of 15 years and older (in rare cases before). With such a disease, children can not always explain their condition. Adults mistakenly accept symptoms of the disease, as suffered stressful situations or school phobia. In young children (up to 12 years), symptoms appear gradually, so parents often take them, like laziness or moods.
The main signs of the disease in children can be - increased need for sleep, depressive condition, dizziness and abdominal pain, as well as others.
Having addressed to experts, it is possible to pass the special test which will precisely show presence of a syndrome of chronic weariness and in due time to begin treatment.
Proteinuria
Proteinuria, as the name implies, is a health problem that arises from the presence of an excessive amount of whey protein in the urine of children. This disease is primarily caused by improper functioning of the kidneys, which leads to a tumor, infection or damage to the kidneys.
Urinary reflux
This disease is characterized by a reverse flow of urine. Urine tends to flow from the bladder back to the kidneys. This can lead to a urinary tract infection in children.
Obesity
Medical research shows that chronic health problems in children increase in comparison with previous years. The increasing rates of obesity among children and adolescents are most likely related to the use of fast foods and the lack of exercise. The obesity epidemic is developing, at a time when many indicators suggest an improvement in child health in general. Obesity in children is a clinical time bomb.
Toxins and environmental pollution
A lot of environmental pollution and toxins contribute to the increase in children's health problems. For example, chemical bisphenol A is used in many solid plastics and can come from toys and baby bottles. Widely distributed in the environment, it causes health problems in the fetus and newborns, including neurological symptoms.
A healthy child in the future
To give the child a good start for life, it is necessary to attach it to various physical loads. With the support of adults, many sports will be of interest to the child. Strengthen the health of children should be with the use of a varied and healthy food in the diet, while controlling the weight of the child. Parents need to know what nutrients are needed, how much and how to change them over time, when the child is older.
