CHILDHOOD IMMUNITY

Did you know that 2/3rd of children in India fall ill at-least once in 3 months? Is your child one of them? Why is it that your child gets frequent fever, while his/her classmate barely misses school due to an illness?

It is the weakened immunity of your child that makes all the difference. Immune system is our body's defense against harmful organisms and substances that cause sickness. Children that have high immunity are less prone to infections, while those with weaker immunity fall sick more often.

What causes weak immunity in children?

Changing lifestyles, increased junk food consumption, lack of exercise or outdoor activities and sports are some of the things that are affecting health of children adversely. Some of the causes of weak immunity in children are:

  • They may be born with a weak immune system.
  • There might have been a medical history of a certain disease that could have possibly weakened your child’s immune system. This is called acquired immune deficiency.
  • Some children have an immune system that is too active.
  • In some cases, children might have an immune system that turns against their own body. Conditions called autoimmune disorders occur due to this reason.

Self-help tips to boost child immunity

  • Breast feed the baby for at least one year after delivery: Breastfeeding is very essential for building the child’s immunity. Breast milk is full of antibodies, which help prevent infections and allergies.
  • Let them play outdoors every day: A survey suggests that the present generation spent only half their time playing outdoors as compared to their parents - blame it on mobile phones, computers, play stations or video games. Help build the child’s immunity by taking them out for a small walk or playing with them in the garden.
  • Maintain a healthy diet: A healthy diet is one which contains all the important nutrients. Make sure the child has a balanced diet. Avoid foods with artificial colours and preservatives.
  • Ensure the child sleeps enough: Incomplete or disturbed sleep can make the child easily tired and more prone to infections. Newborns need at least 18 hours of sleep, toddlers require 12 hours and pre-school children need 10 hours of sleep.
  • Encourage the child to practise personal hygiene: Unclean hands transmit almost 80% of infections in children. Surprised? Therefore, teach the child to wash hands after using the washroom.

FAQs

My 10-year old son gets cold and sometimes even fever every time the weather changes. Why does this happen? Has it something to do with immunity?

Yes, it is an immunity related problem. Healthy and well-balanced immune system is seldom sensitive to a sudden weather change. It can actually endure the stress caused by weather changes. So, a child with a strong immune system does not show signs of discomfort with weather changes while one with weak immunity is prone to diseases and infections with every weather change. Please get your child to one of our homeopathy clinics. We will provide him a customized homeopathy treatment. Our medicines will help in strengthening his immune system, which will help him better cope with sudden changes in weather.

My child loves eating ice-cream, but I fear giving it to him, as whenever he eats one, he catches cold. Can homeopathy help?

We have seen many such cases where repeated illnesses prevent children from having their favorite food. They have to suppress their cravings and this obviously disappoints them. Homeopathy can definitely help, as our medicines will help strengthen your child’s immunity. This will reduce the frequency of cold in him and also allow him to enjoy his favorite ice-cream without worrying about falling sick.

Since the time my daughter has started to go to a play school, she is getting frequent cold & cough as well as ear infections. What can be the reason?

The reasons can be many like:
  • Children under 7 years of age have weak immune systems, which makes them more susceptible to cold and flu viruses.
  • Since you mentioned about play school, what might be the other possible reason is that your daughter might be catching up cold from another child in her play school. Young children spread more germs to each other because of their tendency to cough and sneeze without covering their mouth. Additionally, they more often contact contaminated surfaces (desks, table tops and toys) and subsequently touch their nose, eyes or mouth. This facilitates germ transmission and can result in cold and other infections.
  • Upper airways of young children, which means their ears and surrounding structures are not fully developed until well after school age. This allows for more frequent viral and bacterial invasion.
  • Also, proportionately more children (compared to adults) have allergic rhinitis and asthma which raises the likelihood of experiencing more upper respiratory infections.

Regular homeopathic medicines will help you strengthen the immunity of your child and over a period of time will reduce the frequency of cold, cough and other infections in her.

My child was born prematurely. He is constantly sick, and his colds last for at least two weeks. Do premature babies have weak immune system?

Yes, premature babies tend to have weak immune systems as they get less time to grow and develop in the uterus. Their low immunity makes them more prone to frequent infections. It is important to treat your child for strengthening his immunity. You can consult our homeopathic doctors for child health issues. Our doctors will give you a personalized treatment plan, which will help your child develop his own antibodies to fight infections. Also, give your child nutritious food for growth, and more protection against infections. Feed your child less sugar and other sweeteners, encourage him to do exercise and lessen his exposure to germs.

Are hygiene and immunity related? If I teach my daughter good hygiene lessons, is the possibility of she getting prone to ailments less?

Teaching good hygiene lessons to kids is definitely important, as it will help them stay away from possible infectious bacteria and viruses that spread due to poor hygiene. However, only good hygiene will not help in preventing infections. It should be supplemented with proper immunization, regular health check-ups, balanced and nutritious diet and exercise.
