The child has a persistent cough, vomits, refuses to eat, loses weight, the mother is careful to avoid dangerous complications

The weather changed seasons, many children had persistent coughs, repeated relapses, and quickly lost weight. Even if there is no proper treatment, it can lead to more severe complications in the lungs, respiratory failure.

At Children’s Hospital 1 (HCMC) and National Children’s Hospital (HN), the number of pediatric patients treated for respiratory diseases has increased rapidly and shows no sign of stopping, especially during the current season change.

It is easy to see that the change of season is when children get sick easily, or suffer from respiratory diseases such as sore throat, VA, bronchitis, pneumonia… In which, cough is the typical and earliest symptom when children get sick. There are children who cough for nearly a month, just after this month, they will relapse again next month, lose weight, and lose weight, making their parents extremely worried.

Why are children very susceptible to coughs and respiratory infections during the change of seasons?

In young children, the respiratory system is not yet fully developed. Some children with health problems often breathe through the mouth, so pathogens through the mouth, go down the larynx, leading to coughing and respiratory infections.

The characteristics of the child’s respiratory system are low lung elasticity, thin pleura, weak lungs and very susceptible to infections. When a child has pneumonia, if not treated promptly, it can lead to rapid and sudden complications, the risk of respiratory failure.

In addition, according to experts, the group of children under 5 years old is still in the “immune gap” stage, the immune system is maturing and not strong enough to protect children against pathogens. Weak resistance combined with the strong growth of viruses and bacteria during the change of seasons is the reason why children are prone to minor illnesses, coughs and respiratory infections.

Many children cough so much that every time they eat, they throw up, crying, losing sleep, exhausted

When a child’s respiratory system is attacked, coughing is the body’s first response to expel pathogens. It is a beneficial reflex for the body, but if prolonged, it will lead to irritability, fussiness, vomiting, refusal to breastfeed, anorexia, insomnia, exhaustion, weight loss, stunted growth, and retardation. ..

Over time, the immune system weakens, the child gets sick again and again or the disease spreads to the lungs with more severe infection and inflammation.

What should be done to reduce cough for children and effectively prevent respiratory diseases?

When children begin to show signs of coughing a lot during the day or continuously for a few days, parents should intervene with gentle methods such as giving the child a saline rinse to disinfect and antibacterial. Combined with using some herbs such as honey soaked peach lemon, shallot leaves, steamed kumquat peel with honey…

If the child has a cough and signs of a sore throat, fever or stops feeding, vomiting a lot, lethargy, rapid breathing, etc., parents should take the child to the doctor to be examined carefully by a doctor, clearly identifying the disease and treating the swelling. fit.

If the child has cough, fever, stops feeding, stops eating, vomits, lethargy, etc., parents should take their child to see a doctor.

Do not arbitrarily buy drugs and abuse antibiotics because respiratory infections are often caused by viruses and antibiotics have no effect on viral diseases. The disease not only does not improve but can also lead to antibiotic resistance, affecting the digestive system and the health of the child. In addition, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs should also be careful and adhere to the doctor’s instructions because anti-inflammatory drugs can cause side effects affecting the health of children.

At this time, children also need to drink a lot of water, wash their hands, divide meals if they do not eat much at each meal.

In particular, according to experts, increasing resistance is an important “key” for children to have a strong enough immune system, not only helping to reduce persistent coughIn addition, reducing the risk of respiratory diseases or recovering faster when unfortunately getting sick, but also helping the body to “cope” with other pathogens.

So how to increase resistance for children?

To build a strong resistance, babies need to be maintained exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life or as long as possible, fully vaccinated, give them appropriate exercise and sleep, and keep them warm in the weather. change, clean living environment and keep children clean. In particular, it is necessary to establish a diverse, balanced and full of nutrients necessary for the immune system such as Vitamins A, C, D, Zinc, Iron, Beta-glucan …

Scientific studies show that, Beta-glucan Directly stimulates the innate immune system, helping to increase the number and strength of the “army” of immune cells against viruses, bacteria, and protect the body. From there, it helps to minimize the risk of respiratory diseases such as cough, flu, sore throat, bronchitis, pneumonia… and reduce the aggravation of the disease if it is unfortunately caught, the child also recovers quickly after sicker.

Gadopax Forte combines Beta-glucan with Vitamins C, D, and Zinc to help support children’s outstanding resistance, minimize the risk of bacterial and viral diseases.

Now, Gadopax Forte is one of the rare products on the Vietnamese market that contains the highest quality and purest Beta-glucan content, which is genuine imported from Europe. The product brings a clear effect in improving children’s resistance thanks to the combination of specific active ingredients Beta-Glucan combined with Vitamins C, D and Zinc – the “key” factors necessary for a strong immune system. powerful, creating an optimal synergistic effect, helping children to be healthy, supporting resistance enhancement.
