Modern children have a lot of health problems. Some of them emerge from the specifics of school life. What does the child complain about that does not want to go to school? Most often on the stomach and headache. And in most cases he does not deceive.
HeadCefalgia is one of the most common symptoms in school-age children. The international classification describes 162 types of headaches. Fortunately, many of them are rare in children. Serious pathological conditions in children are really small, but, unfortunately, even functional, temporary disturbances can adversely affect a child's life. After all, when pulsing in the temples, squeezing the skull, fog or light points and spots, watching, creating, and sometimes just having fun, there is neither strength nor desire. What to do? Run the pain! How? There are many methods. All depends on the reasons. Visit a pediatrician and a neurologist to understand what is happening.
The majority of children (75%) are diagnosed with headache pt tension. It lasts for several hours and passes by itself due to restraint or rest. It is caused by both mental and physical factors.
Physical refers to the overstrain of the muscles of the collar zone, and of the entire back. Look at your baby: how does he sit? It is highly probable that he is constantly bent and twisted. Children amaze with their ability to turn a pretzel at the very tip of the chair and so, balancing pompous, do lessons at the desk, littered with textbooks and toys. And if at the same time he constantly strains his eyesight (as happens with healthy eyes), then cephalalgia is almost inevitable. Frequent stresses, mental overloads, high requirements for studies and marks, conflicts at home and in school, a long vigil before a TV set, a computer, which means that constant emotional shakes are all psychogenic causes of headaches.
About computer games
It is clear that the modern child is absolutely forbidden such an entertainment can not be, although it is necessary to limit. The fact is that while playing, the baby receives a huge dose of adrenaline - the hormone responsible for the action, aggression, attack, defense. And he himself is sitting. What is adrenaline going to? Nowhere! It is concentrated in the body in huge doses. That's why the uncontrollability, inadequacy, which you most certainly observe in a child after a long game. Headaches are also a consequence of adrenaline intoxication. It is necessary to give adrenaline to use: run, jump, squat, take a shower to wash off tension or at least hold hands under water and wash, imagining how negative energy goes through the pipe ...
The doctor will prescribe a sedative, a course of massage of the collar zone, physical activity, frequent walks in the fresh air, refusal of food containing sodium glutamate (smoked meat, sausages, sausages, chips), sleep not less than 8-10 hours a day.
Stomach
The baby bent, holding on to the belly, and on the face of grimace of suffering? Indeed, he is very hurt. The origin of abdominal pain is different. Sometimes it is acute poisoning, sometimes functional or even chronic violations in the work of the digestive tract, and often psychosomatic disorders.
But sometimes lingering complaints about the tummy do not cause the parents to wish to go to the hospital. But in vain. After all, the baby can begin gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis or any other gastrointestinal disease. The child shows a complete examination of the abdominal organs, a corresponding diet and treatment.
If no abnormalities are found, then seek for psychosomatic reasons. Baby sick of school? He is troubled by the fact that there are not so many different marks in mathematics? Is it difficult for him to digest the conflict or the next requirement of the teacher / parent? Well, apparently, his stomach hurts precisely because of this. By the way, if you do not pay attention to such symptoms for a long time, then it is quite real that the next visit to the gastroenterologist of the pathology of the gastrointestinal tract will be revealed. Are there signs that the baby is at the limit? React immediately!
Problems at school?
Talk to the tormentor, reduce the requirements and the general level of pressure. Think, what is more important - a healthy and happy child or a table that pleases the eye? Yes, and go yourself out of stress. Children often relay their mother's or dad's experiences.
Adjust the mode of the day: sleep, eat, walk by the clock and in plenty. Spend together more time, because the baby needs your attention. Begin, for example, read at night, just like in his "magic", walk together, talk. This will help with any violations having a mental cause.
Switch to healthy food
Do crumbs often have a bulging tummy, he complains of rubbers, recently drank antibiotics, reduced immunity? Include more sour-milk products in the diet, give the drugs that will help restore normal intestinal microflora, vegetables and cereal. And limit the fatty, fried, spicy.
At the time of an attack, lay the baby, stroke his tummy by the hour hand. A good help and mint, chamomile tea.
Back
Curved spine is a scourge of modern children. And it is well known that the spine is the backbone of the organism, the rod, which in many ways determines the general state of health. By the way, curvatures are a common cause of both headaches and problems with the tummy ... Often even discomfort in the heart area is a consequence of this.
So listen carefully to what the orthopedist recommends.
Let the little one level the back, standing at the wall. Touches with the buttocks, buttocks, shoulder blades and back of the head to a flat surface. And the top reaches up, as if it is tied to a rope to the sky.
Remind me, constantly and relentlessly, how to sit right at the dinner and desk, in front of the TV, with a book in hand, playing chess, at a low table or on the floor, drawing a wall newspaper ... Always!
Write the crumbs into the pool. There's nothing better for the back. And more: buy a good orthopedic mattress. It will reduce the burden on the back and help restore posture.
As for psychosomatic reasons, analyze whether the burden for the baby is not too heavy. This can concern not only the lessons, but also the emotional state. For example, parents are charging him with a solution to their interpersonal problems. My mother complains about my father, my father is annoyed with his son because they do not find a common language and are looking for an ally in the child. And he is not in the power, because he loves both parents.
Throat and nose
There are a lot of viruses, and they are still mutating and spreading lightly in children's groups. SARS suffer from all, but their frequency and intensity in all the different. Much depends on the state of general and local immunity (in the first line of the nasopharynx) and ... from the desire to get sick (this will allow to stay at home).
Again, healthy eating, walking, physical exercise are necessary. Let us have a fortifying agent appointed by a doctor who will help the organization function properly, which means that it will not allow the development of the disease.
Give your child enough attention when he is healthy, and then he will not have a subconscious desire to get sick for the sake of your care.
