When you’re little and you are diagnosed with asthma can feel your hours of going to the park, play and sports activities have come to an end. In the U.S., asthma is the main reason why children miss school.
Asthma occurs when there is difficulty breathing due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways, specifically of the bronchi. In certain cases some children are sensitive to certain environmental stimuli and body overreacts causing your bronchial tubes to swell and contract. For this reason it is difficult to breathe. You can watch some of the main symptoms:

- Tightness in the chest
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing (especially when breathing out)
- Cough

It is unknown exactly what causes asthma and no cure has been found. It is known that there are genetic factors that increase the predisposition of the person to develop asthma, so often seen in several members of a family and environmental factors such as pollution have a great influence.

The way in which the child’s immune system reacts to pollen, mold, dust mites and pet dander, among other stimuli, will determine what triggers asthma symptoms in him. May be one or more allergens (the substance that is allergic). And the reaction can be mild, moderate or severe. Also changes in climate or temperature, being in places with cold air currents, air pollution in large cities and even doing some kind of physical activity can trigger asthma symptoms. Fortunately the reality of children with asthma may be very different if you have the proper care. You can help them live better.

- If you have pets, you better be out of the house, try to bathe frequently and if they enter an area designated for them. Do not let that be in your room. Many people are allergic to the hair, feathers and saliva of animals.
- During the months in which there is more pollen out, do not open the windows as often and use air conditioning with air filter (which should change regularly). And do not forget to clean the window sills regularly.
- Do not be too many plants indoors because they can increase the growth of mold.
- Do not allow smoking in your home
- When washing clothes, immediately take it out of the washer to dry.
- Select wood floors or ceramic. If you like the carpets, choose those that are ‘short hair’.

You see, the prevention of allergies begins with having a clean house. So it is good idea you establish a regular cleaning routine to avoid the allergens are installed in your house and cause symptoms. While some people have seasonal allergies, many people who have allergies all year and as Laura have allergens in your home. Dust mites, pet hair, mold or dust common, either may be the culprit. But with these simple suggestions you and your family can beat allergies at home. For many people, especially those living in places with a large cup of allergens, sometimes it might seem an impossible challenge to overcome. But allergies can be controlled at home. From pollen or other allergens in the environment that do not respond, sometimes you need to take antihistamines and if work is advisable to consult your doctor.

Cheer up! a clean house is also more pleasant and your whole family will be safe and protected from the allergens found in it.

The prevalence of headaches among people today cannot be denied, perhaps as a result of the fast-paced nature of modern-day living where there are always deadlines to meet, people to see, tasks to finish quickly.  What headache implies to the economy also cannot be underestimated. People who suffer from headaches will also very likely suffer from low productivity, low output quality, and low energy to perform in the office and finish the task at hand. Since a company’s output stems from its employees, a job poorly done by an employee is as much a job poorly done by his employer. This shows how a headache affects not only the individual suffering from it but also the people around that individual who may depend on him to fulfill various responsibilities. This is where a pain reliever such as Saridon plays an important role.

The best thing about Saridon is that it combines three substances that make it arguably the most ideal pain reliever in the market today. These substances are paracetamol, propyphenazone, and caffeine. Caffeine staves off drowsiness, preventing the tablet consumer from dozing off in the middle of the day. Paracetamol and propyphenazone are combined to augment each other’s weaknesses. While paracetamol has a slow onset but a longer effectiveness of pain relief, propyphenazone has a fast onset but a shorter effectiveness. Thus, when combined, they provide a medicine that answers the consumer’s need for a pain reliever that is both fast acting and long lasting.

- Avoid having carpet in the bathroom.
- Avoid the wallpaper in the bathroom walls. It is best pottery or painting the walls with mildew resistant paint.
- Use a bathroom cleaner to clean and disinfect the shower and bathtub, the shower curtains, sinks, ceramic tiles, glass fibers and synthetic marble regularly.

And this care should be applied in the rest of the house logic. In the room, for example, try not to have carpets and vacuuming frequently. A convenient and easy to remove dust and clean almost any surface using disinfectant wipes.

- Do the dishes daily and rinse well the dishwasher and faucet to get rid of mold and food debris.
- Regularly clean the refrigerator or refrigerator to remove excess moisture encourages mold growth. Discard food that is long in the refrigerator and can be spoiled. Clean out the refrigerator daily and remove the dust that accumulates on top too.
- If possible, install a fan/extractor with output on the stove. Usually, the bells are installed above the stove simply absorb odors without ventilation. Having a fan/extractor with output means lower both moisture and gases coming out when cooking.
- Regularly clean cabinets, drawers, counter or bar and inn.
- Store food in closed containers.
- Throw your trash daily. That way will eliminate the chances of having rodents and cockroaches, as well as odors.

You also have to pay attention to the floor: it is better to have carpet floor. But if you have carpet, be sure to vacuum with a HEPA filter twice a week. As for the floor, it is also essential to clean regularly with a damp cloth to prevent irritants from spreading through the air.

Do not fail to wash the curtains. Choose ones that are easily washable cotton or synthetic material. If you have blinds, keep them clean and free of dust or select blinds that roll up and you can wash without problems.

Buy wooden furniture, metal or plastic. Do not accumulate objects that keep dust as books, magazines, stuffed animals. If you have in your room, or that of your children, keep them in a jar or plastic container and intermittently, while your children are sleeping, put them in a plastic bag in the freezer. The cold kills dust mites.

Laura suffers from allergies and when they come in spring and fall, feel they get more severe. Some time ago I was not sure if it was simply allergic to pollen and other plants, as during other times of year is also irritated eyes, nose and throat. One day he decided to go to the doctor and told him he was allergic to “dust mites” which are tiny insects of the family of spiders responsible for allergies to dust.

When Laura heard this, he received a few tips that have improved symptoms by 99%. Among them: clean your home regularly to keep dust, wash bedding regularly in hot water, change your old mattress because insects were comfortably installed there.

This is just one example of what you can do to prevent allergies at home, as there are others, such as mold. But to go more into detail, how about if we make a tour of three of the rooms where there may be more allergens? That way you will know what steps you can take to keep your home clean and free of allergens.

First of all, it is important to note that there is a difference between hard and throwing back a little milk, which usually occurs when the baby burps and without it causing any discomfort. This is known as gastroesophageal reflux or regurgitation and no cause for alarm. Is because the muscular ring that is in the upper stomach does not close completely. This phenomenon is quite common in most babies and usually disappears before your baby is one year.

Vomiting, however, may be harmless but sometimes it can be a sign that there is a serious problem that you pay attention.

You should consult with your pediatrician if:

- Your baby is vomiting for more than 24 hours and shows signs of dehydration such as decreased amount of urine (if more than 6 hours without a wet diaper), dry lips, dry mouth, lethargy, and if you cry no tears (if you have more than two weeks old, for new babies take the time to produce tears).

- Violent vomiting is persistent and occurs within 30 minutes after you have eaten. The violent vomiting may indicate a viral infection (caused by a virus) in the stomach may be a reaction to something the baby ate or be a sign of another gastrointestinal problem such as a “pyloric stenosis” (ie, the narrowing of the pylorus is the opening from the stomach into the small intestine).

- Your baby’s vomit contains blood. You should not be alarmed if the vomit a little blood. It is normal if you tried to vomit, which can be broken some blood vessels in the esophagus. However, if you see that every time your baby is vomiting blood and it goes up, you take your baby to the emergency room immediately. So you should take emergency if you vomit bile (a green substance) because it may indicate a blockage in the intestines or vomits a blackish substance (like coffee) or no bowel movements (stools) with blood or are black (like coffee).

- Notes to the skin and the eyes of your baby take a yellowish color, it probably represents jaundice, associated with vomiting suggests you might have hepatitis.

- If you vomit after being beaten repeatedly head. This may be a sign of a concussion.

If your baby has a viral infection, most likely the vomiting is associated with diarrhea. In that case, and seek urgent medical attention, you should feed your baby frequently, in smaller quantities to prevent dehydration. If vomiting addition, it gives the impression that your baby has abdominal pain and having its distended abdomen, this suggests it may have a blockage in your intestine or a hernia. This is another reason to take emergency.

If your baby really is vomiting, consult your pediatrician if you have any questions or concerns. Although sometimes vomiting is circumstantial (something the baby ate that fell wrong or whether it took too much milk), in others it is a sign of a major health problem that must respond quickly. The only way you can know for sure if your baby’s vomiting involves a risk to health is to consult with the doctor and, in some cases it is convenient to take emergency and call him away from there.

Take note of these symptoms or warning signs that you should not ignore the good health of your baby:
Skin blue or purple, especially on the lips and mucous membranes. This condition is called cyanosis. In newborns, a light blue color is common, especially if they are cold. However, if generally indicates severe respiratory illness or heart defects. In simpler words: it means they are not receiving enough oxygen. What should you do? Call 911 or emergency number in your country.

- Fever over 38 C or 100.4 F in newborns. You should call your pediatrician immediately, because if your baby is under two months old fever may indicate a serious health problem such as meningitis.

- Shortness of breath. If you notice that your baby is breathing hard and fast and consistently see using your chest muscles more than the abdomen in an exaggerated manner, can be a sign of a respiratory disorder that requires immediate attention. Call your pediatrician or go to the emergency room.

- Jaundice gets worse by the day. All newborns may have some jaundice (yellowing of the skin) to be a bit of sun and good food. However, if after 5 days of age, your baby continues to yellowing of the skin and membranes, we need to seek medical attention. It is likely that the levels of bilirubin (produced by the liver) have risen more than desired, and will need to make specialized phototherapy lamp. This treatment is used to avoid having brain damage and seizures.

- Dehydration. If your baby does not urinate, is another reason to worry. Generally, you must keep track well: at least two wet diapers a day for infants two days old, three for babies who have three days of life and so on. Other signs of dehydration include lethargy, dry mouth and tongue and sunken eyes. If you are breastfeeding may be that your milk flow has not yet been established or has problems with the position of the baby’s mouth (remember that breastfeeding should not hurt) and for that reason did not take all the milk you need. In that case, do not hesitate for a second to check with your doctor so he or she tells you if you give formula while you solve the problem or if your baby is bigger, maybe an electrolyte solution to replace fluids. Do not give your baby water because it causes lower levels of sodium in your blood and can cause seizures.

- Vomiting green or dark appearance. It is true that babies can vomit quite often for reasons not to worry as regurgitation or reflux. Even sometimes vomit from coughing hard or mourn. However, when your baby vomits green bile is an alarm signal, it may indicate that the intestines are blocked. Similarly, do not wait to take your baby to the emergency room if vomiting something like coffee beans, as this could represent a inner sanctum.

If you baby has a rare symptom or different, do not hesitate to seek medical attention. If you doubt the seriousness of any sign of her body, it is best to consult with the pediatrician or the pediatrician. Only a specialist can ensure the health of your baby. With the health of that bit of life, not playing.

Asthma is a condition in the “owners” of parents of young children. Lili is the case, a 3 year old little girl was diagnosed with asthma after spending a night in which he had difficulty breathing, coughing and wheezing from his breath. His mom and dad do not know why that is, although the doctor said it is a disease that occurs when a family history of allergy. Lili’s father also suffered from childhood asthma.

But beyond the common factors that trigger asthma, such as cold air, dust, animals (hair or dander), aspirin, chemicals in the air, mold, pollen, exercise, emotions strong snuff smoke and viral infections (cold), the asthma may be related to late preterm birth (which refers to babies born between 34 and 37 weeks of pregnancy).

So suggests a study by pediatricians and neonatologists (newborn specialists) at the Mayo Clinic in the U.S., which looked at babies born between weeks 34 and 37 of pregnancy. A quarter of these late preterm infants were diagnosed with asthma by having 8 years, despite having no previous episodes of respiratory illness. In contrast, infants born after 37 weeks, only 15 percent developed asthma.

According to the authors of the study these results show that late preterm babies are at additional risk of developing asthma, which is an indicator for physicians to begin a diagnosis before and work on preventive measures. This finding may have great impact on the treatment of asthma, which is a major cause of hospitalization and school absenteeism in children.

How to identify if your child have asthma? Asthma symptoms are:

- Shortness of breath
- Blushing, panting
- Shortness of breath
- Rapid breathing
- Difficulty exhaling
- Night cough
- Tightness in the chest
- Whistling sound when exhaling

The doctor will indicate the treatment for asthma, if the diagnosis is positive. This may include: avoiding asthma triggers, in some cases take medicine even if no symptoms to prevent the development (depending on the severity of your child’s case, and monitoring symptoms.

Consult your pediatrician if you have any questions about asthma. There respiratory diseases with similar symptoms, so it’s important to be informed (a) and talk to the doctor.
