Why are our children at risk for swine influenza and what can parents do to protect their children

We continue to feel so much like the swine flu and flu are usually in children, so what can we do to protect our children?

Unlike other fireplaces that swine flu or flu N1H1 affects young people, usually in the 24 years I have spoken with David Condoluci, DO, Director of Infectious Diseases for Kennedy Health System in New Jersey to find out why.

I learned that young people who are always present, not the elderly that we see most often in a given year. L 'Most vulnerable are people born after 1957 in which, due to the 1957 flu epidemic has some similarities in their immunity to the flu, which N1H1 are now to be seen. The man was born before that time been exposed and probably a little 'over immunity for this particular strain of those born after. Then, the older group has a lot of exposure through vaccinations and other strains of influenza, so there could be some minor background immunity, helping to protect itsto a certain extent. Persons born in 1957-1985 are at risk as well, but there appears to be a bit 'immunity in this middle group. It 's the younger group, the influence is largely virgin of this tribe, and this is what seems to be focusing on.

What can parents do to make sure our children? Dr. Condoluci believes that the best thing is to be protected by good hygiene. First, you want to stay away from places where it could be aChance of being infected, as the crowds when influenza is in the area. Personal hygiene is very important. If you sneeze, you have to sneeze on the sleeve and not on your hands. You should wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer, especially when in a situation where you have more contact with people. safer place for you to be to influence when, in your home because you are less likely to want to get in

What to do if you suspect that yourN1H1flu the child? Dr. Condoluci says that if your child should get three months as fever or what is similar to the flu, you should see your pediatrician immediately, because you're so young and vulnerable at this time. For those who are older, it would be based on the severity of the disease, if they go to the emergency room or see their pediatrician. If another child's symptoms (as above) Parents should probably take them to the emergency roomfor evaluation, but most of the time with your pediatrician and let them know the severity of symptoms. Generally, in most cases, you will become a sick child for a few days, but the child must be better. Most cases can be handled between the parents and pediatrician. In addition, good hand washing, fluids, Tylenol and the rest as the most important therapies for influenza, are not serious.

Do not panic. This is mostly common sense. WashMani, you teach your children to sneeze into the crook of the elbow, and when it comes to your neighborhood, avoid crowds during this time.
