How do parents know when children have colds or the flu?

It 'time again ... begin to feel both the children or parents, under the weather. It is difficult to know who comes to a disease. They know that is either a cold or the flu and knowing full well that next week will be living in a nightmare. But, as you can tell the difference between colds and flu, and what do you do when you find out?

Both the cold and flu are respiratory illnesses but are viruses that have made ​​several. The coldtakes a little 'more, usually a week. The influence is much stronger, but lasts only about 4 or 5 days. But the influence is more severe.

The cold always starts with inhaling through the nose, a filament of cold viruses in circulation on the left, or object. The virus starts in the nose. Your body then tries to fight with the sending of mucus and make you sneeze and cough a lot. The symptoms worsen in the next 48 hours, then finallyStart dodge. However, it is contagious two days before getting to the most common symptoms for a few days after the symptoms away. E 'contagious for almost 2 weeks.

Influenza, on the other hand, is much more suddenly.'s Influence has more muscle aches, fever, tiredness, dry cough (against a moist cough and mucous membranes), headache and chills. E 'for about 5 days a week, depending on the health of the infected person contagious. The influenceis, in different, often mistake the stomach flu, which is total. The stomach flu symptoms of gastrointestinal problems and is fast and goes away quickly, while the actual influence (influence) is more serious.

For cold, it's the best thing you can do to get plenty of water and rest. If your body tells you it's tired or hungry, can not be ignored. When you cough and sneeze, your body releases fluids and your body is dry. Drink plenty ofFluids your body breaks down and helps thin mucous membrane. Too much medicine may actually want to do the opposite. Your body will actually get used to the medicine and the establishment of a tolerance. But even if you have a tolerance to the drug, with more than the recommended dosage can have serious side effects. The best you can do is just too much water to drink, eat, sleep, and some chicken noodle soup.

For the flu, you should only and always be preparedtake the flu vaccine each October. But even with the flu come from anti-viral drug is better if you always. And just like the cold, plenty of rest and fluids are a necessity. Make sure you take aspirin if you have the flu. Taking aspirin with the flu can cause Reye's syndrome, and in some cases can be fatal. Instead, take Tylenol. Tylenol does not contain aspirin, and instead use a safe form of pain relief. If problems persist for morea week or a fever over 103 degrees reached consult, consult your doctor. And if in doubt consult a doctor anyway!

Thus, the old traditions of your grandmother tells you if you fall ill or are working best. Modern medicine only temporarily relieves the pain and, finally, the drugs may do more harm than good, with some special influence. Just be sure to get all the sleep your body tells you to drink water and get chicken noodle soup made for you. If you can, you can indulge your loved onesYou! You'll need it and deserve it!

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.
