treatments, besides alleviating the symptoms with home remedies. But,
for severe forms, emergency treatment is needed, for bacterial
ORZ – antibiotic treatment. However, the use of any
medicines for children is possible only after the appointment
their attending physician.

In the first days of the disease is effective is the use of
antivirals and interferons (for example, Anaferon for
children).

Choosing drugs for children is not easy, because
many of the tools that adults use successfully
contraindicated to kids, or do not have all the necessary
properties. For example, such an important property as reparation –
the ability to restore integrity and strengthen the mucous
baby nasopharyngeal membrane.

It is known that most often it is through the nasopharynx, along with
breathing, viruses and bacteria enter the child’s body
diseases transmitted by airborne droplets – first
all acute respiratory infections and flu. On the state of the mucous depends largely
Will viruses and bacteria penetrate the body? Therefore it is important
so that the anti-cold remedy for the baby has not only
antiviral and immunomodulatory, but also reparative
(regenerating) action. All these properties to the fullest
possesses the drug Derinat intended for
prevention and treatment of colds in children from the first day of life,
and adults.

the youngest babies and often able to prevent ARVI like
child and adult family members. If cold

it is easier, it is possible to do without complications, and therefore without
antibiotics and recover much faster.

the main task of parents who care for a sick baby.
You should carefully monitor the development of the disease.

To ensure proper and timely development of the immune
systems of the child, doctors often recommend drugs from the group
immunomodulators. But they have a number of contraindications: first
all immunomodulators are prescribed only by a doctor and only with
compulsory immunological examination of the child before
by appointment. For self use, choose those
drugs that have undergone the necessary research on security
and do not require additional analyzes before use. To such
preparations include, for example, Immunokind, which is developed
specifically for children with unstable immunity. A drug
adjusts the child’s immune system to work properly, accelerating
recovery from acute respiratory infections and SARS.

As a rule, the treatment of acute respiratory infections (ARVI) does not require hospitalization. For
recovery baby should be ensured adherence to bed
regime, enhanced nutrition and plenty of drink, consisting of herbal
teas, cranberry honey juice, juices, etc. With a strong dry
cough need to apply antitussive drugs.

When the cough becomes wet, you need to take care of
sputum discharge, replacing antitussives with
expectorants. If necessary, measures are taken to reduce
temperature, also, depending on the condition of the child, treatment
supplement with inhalations, warming up procedures,
vitamin therapy.
