How to keep children healthy?

In recent days, the number of children infected with Covid-19 has been recorded across the country, especially the group of children under 12 years old, making parents confused, worried, standing still. So what should parents do to protect their children against the risk of Covid?

Children infected with Covid – Why?

In recent days, in the context of the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic, not only adults, many children have also become F0. Although symptoms are often mild, the number of cases turning severe and hospitalization is low, but young children are still at high risk of being attacked and caused by Covid-19.

Explaining why young children are susceptible to Covid, experts give the following basic reasons:

– The first is due to the overly worried mentality of parents. Many parents, when seeing a child with symptoms of respiratory infection or a positive rapid test, or worried about post-Covid sequelae, should take their child to a doctor “for peace of mind”.

This leads to large gatherings, plus the “super-fast” spread of the “stealth” Omicron increases the risk of infection for children who have not / have had Covid.

– Monday is because the child’s resistance is not yet complete. For young children, especially children in the “immune gap” stage (6 months – 5 years old), the immune system has not been fully built and “consolidated”, so the risk of infection is higher.

In addition, children under 12 years of age have not been vaccinated, so the immune system has not been “trained” to get used to and prevent the virus. The child’s body was not ready yet, when the virus attacked fiercely and caused illness.

– Tuesday is Because young children are not aware of the need for epidemic prevention measures. Many children do not have the habit of wearing masks and not washing their hands properly, adding that children are allowed to go back to school directly. This leads to an increased risk of infection.

Obviously, young children are a high-risk group that is likely to contract Covid-19, even re-infected. Experts say that most children with Covid-19 are asymptomatic or mild and will recover in 1-2 weeks. However, children under one year of age, premature babies, underweight or overweight, obese, cancerous, cardiovascular, neurological, immunocompromised… . Although the symptoms of the disease are milder in children than in adults, Covid still causes certain effects on children’s learning, health and development. Therefore, the urgent thing that parents need to do right now is to protect and limit the risk of infection in children.

How to protect children healthy, limit the risk of Covid?

To limit the level of exposure and infection in children, parents can reduce the impact from the outside environment by the following ways:

– Strictly adhere to 5K. If parents have symptoms or a history of exposure to F0, they should self-isolate, not close to the child.

– In case, the child shows signs of fever, cough, fatigue, loss of appetite…, parents need to calmly monitor and contact an online doctor for advice and treatment instructions. Children should not be taken immediately to the hospital to reduce the risk of infection when going to the doctor.

– Instruct children in infection prevention measures, for example, wearing and removing masks, washing hands properly, not touching eyes, nose, should not go to crowded places…

– Need to keep the house clean; Clean the nose and throat for children regularly.

Besides, the most important thing that parents need to pay attention to to better protect their children is to increase the child’s resistance. Resistance is the “shield” that protects health and helps the bodyagainst the invasion of viruses, bacteria as well as other harmful factors. Not only that, when the body is attacked by a virus, a strong immune system will quickly recognize, attack, destroy and eliminate the virus from the body. Thereby, helping to limit the risk of infection as well as contribute to speeding up the recovery process if infected with Covid and reducing the severity of the disease.

A strong immune system will protect healthy children and limit the risk of infection

To effectively increase resistance, parents need:

– Maintain children’s balanced nutrition, full of groups of substances (protein, starch, fat, vitamins and minerals).

– Let children exercise in accordance with their physical condition and age with indoor exercise activities or in outdoor places with few people.

Make sure your child gets enough sleep and drinks enough water.

– Give children full vaccinations against diseases (flu, tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox…). For children over 12 years old, children should be vaccinated against Covid according to the recommendations of the Ministry of Health.

– Supplementing children with essential micronutrients for the immune system such as vitamins A, C, D, Zinc, Iron, etc.

In particular, in order to “upgrade” the immune system and increase the child’s resistance quickly, safely, effectively and sustainably, parents can consider using specialized immune boosting products for children. Among them, products containing active ingredients Beta-glucan as Gadopax Forte Highly recommended and recommended by experts.

According to experts: Beta-glucan is a strong active ingredient, activating the immune system more optimally than other micro/active ingredients. At the same time, this active ingredient is FDA (USA) certifies that it is safe for all ages, including children.

According to the research of Dr. Mohamed F. Ali, Beta-glucan activates the entire immune system and stimulates the “army” of immune cells to double in just 72 hours.

In particular, the active ingredient Beta-(1,3-1,6)-D-glucans Yestimun® present in Gadopax Forte is evaluated as pure Beta-glucan, with higher biological activity than other types of Beta-glucan.

Gadopax Forte not only contain High content of Beta-(1,3-1,6)-D-glucans but also combined with Vitamins C, D and Zinc – Micronutrients are extremely important for the immune system. From there, creating an optimal synergistic effect, enhancing outstanding resistance to protect the body comprehensively, sustainably and long-term. It is thanks to these advantages that Gadopax Forte is increasingly chosen by many parents to increase their children’s resistance during the epidemic season.
