For some reason, most of us are sure that meteosensitivity is the destiny of the elderly. And the children say they still have little to complain about the weather. All the way around: often children are even more vulnerable to meteor than in adults. And in our power to help them.
WHO ARE THEY?
When children are healthy and emotionally not depressed, their body painlessly adjusts to sharp weather changes. But there are special periods in the life of our offspring, in which weather jumps are felt especially sharply.
WHOM CHOOSES BUREAU?
Children who suffer from chronic diseases react sharply to the sharp change in weather. Children with vegetovascular dystonia will feel bad; feel the discomfort of patients with bronchial asthma, chronic gastritis and suffering from childhood eczema, patients with pneumonia and pyelonephritis.
First of all, babies. Almost 80% of babies cry, sleep badly and suffer from gas during the days of changing weather fronts. Especially sensitive to the weather are preterm and born with the help of caesarean section children.
Secondly, the age of admission to school. When the lifestyle of 6-8-year-olds changes dramatically, they experience great psycho-emotional stress.
Thirdly, adolescence, when the organism of 13-15-year-olds is shaken by hormonal restructuring.
WHAT DIFFERENCES DO "LOVE"?
IN KNOWLEDGE - SIGHTS
On a nice clear day, when the holidaymakers blithely rested, according to the sanatorial radio broadcast in Jurmala, it was announced that proton flashes were observed on the Sun and this day was extremely unfavorable for health. And what? Holidaymakers picked up beach towels, put down tennis rackets, climbed off their bicycles and reached the doctors' offices complaining of poor health, headaches and weakness caused by the weather.
What does the body respond to when the weather changes?
Of course, sharp fluctuations in temperature both in one direction and in the other direction for the organism are not indifferent. And the meteor-dependent child will feel the magnetic disturbances. But the universal sign that the weather is changing is a sharp change in atmospheric pressure.
If the pressure drops sharply (within 3 hours) by 1 mm Hg. Art. or abruptly rises to 1.5 mm - wait for poor health in meteosensitive children.
But discuss their fears with children, especially with adolescents, do not. Do not ask them: "How do you feel?". Children are very suggestible: a child can actually feel bad if it is expected of him.
Really serious for health days is not so much - 18-20 per year. Not very comfortable - every fifth or sixth day.
WHAT FEEL?
The reaction of meteosensitive children is very different. Chronic diseases worsen. With heart diseases on such days, shortness of breath, arrhythmia. In patients with pneumonia - respiratory failure. Those suffering from gastritis have abdominal pain. Patients with pyelonephritis are concerned about frequent urination.
And children, experiencing the age crisis, on such days can not sleep well, feel sweating, weakness, experience blood pressure jumps, quickly get tired, be scattered or irritable ... It is these days that they often conflict with their parents, quarrel with their peers, learn worse.
In summer, children almost do not react to unfavorable days, because the sword of school stress is not hanging over them.
HOW CAN I HELP?
If you notice that your child does not tolerate a change in the weather:
• For those suffering from chronic diseases, always give preventive medicines;
• on adverse days, do not be too demanding of him and limit his physical and emotional stress;
• In a traditional way, temper it: every day - a contrast shower: 1-2 minutes of cool water, 1-2 minutes - hot. In the apartment it is useful to walk barefoot in light clothing. From the age of 3, you can take your child to a bath.
