Seasonal Health Care Tip! What are the children's diseases and prevention in spring

Spring is over at the end of winter, but there is still a lot of day-to-day variation so be careful not to get sick. It is much easier to get sick by changing the system of our bodies in order to meet sudden temperature changes at the turn of the year. Especially children with weak immunity are more likely to suffer from seasonal diseases and should pay more attention. What are some diseases and what are the ways in which our child can prevent from life?

How to prevent seasonal diseases?

Do you have more patients in hospitals like pediatrics and otolaryngology in your neighborhood? This increase in the number of patients in the seasons is due to sudden changes in temperature that break the body rhythm. Especially children tend to get sick because they do not adjust well to the seasons because they have less ability to control their body than adults. In the season of change, it usually lives indoors, so it is easily exposed to dry environment and polluted air, and many viral infectious diseases accompanied by fever such as rhinitis, sore throat, cold and dermatitis occur. In the morning and evening, because of the frequent cases of heating, the humidity is continuously lowered, and eye diseases such as dry eye syndrome are also common. Therefore, to prevent the illness of the season, indoor humidity should be set to a proper level and cleaned and ventilated frequently to create a comfortable indoor environment.


Let's find out about the seasonal diseases of the season! 

The most common cause of death is sore throat. Your throat is dry and you have symptoms that cause your voice to crack. In the beginning, my throat feels tickled or tingling, a slight cough is repeated and a sense of foreign body is felt. It is difficult to distinguish between sore throat and cold because it is similar to severe cold symptoms, so it is better to get an accurate diagnosis if the pain in the neck lasts more than 3 days. Most of the sore throat is recovered by medication, but if the immunity is weakened, it can recur and lead to chronic sore throat.

One of the other seasonal diseases is eye disease. Especially in spring, dry weather causes dry eye syndrome, and pollen and yellow dust affects allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is a disease in which chemicals such as pollen, pollutants, and cosmetics are exposed to the mucous membranes of the eyes and cause an allergic reaction to the eyelid and conjunctiva. Severe itching, glare, and excessive secretion of tears are typical symptoms.

 If your eyes are very pruritic or if you have a lot of swollen eyes around you due to allergic symptoms, holding a cold towel for a while helps to improve your symptoms. Do not rub your eyes with your hands as it may make your symptoms worse.

 I adjust the indoor humidity with a natural humidifier!

I know from the above that the maximum number of diseases of the circulatory system is the dry indoor environment. Keeping indoor humidity at 40% ~ 60% helps prevent and treat respiratory and eye diseases. If you are reluctant to use the humidifier because it is cumbersome to clean it from time to time, we recommend a pine cone that acts as a natural humidifier. The pine cone has a habit of getting wet when it gets wet, so that the water evaporates and the humidity is controlled. However, because the seeds are contained in the pine cones, it is harmful to the ecosystem if they are attached to the tree. It also helps to control the humidity by putting green plants indoors. Especially, Ivy, Indian rubber tree, bamboo palm, Sansevieria, etc.

 I found out about the diseases my child should be careful about during the season. It is not good to be indoors because the weather is still chilly. Regular exercise can improve your cardiopulmonary function and strengthen your muscles and boost your immune system. Increase your immunity with a steady workout, keep your room comfortable and try to overcome the disease.
