Children and otitis

So what to do, if a child is diagnosed ill with otitis? The first and the most important rule: as early as possible to show the child to the expert-otolaryngologist earlier. In such situation only the doctor can make the correct diagnosis, estimate weight of disease and appoint adequate treatment. At the appropriate medical control the majority of not complicated otitises can be cured in house conditions.



Jacob Bogatin says that otitis treatment, as a rule, includes a course of antibiotics. Usually in the form of pills or children's syrups. Preparations of normal microflora of intestines, antihistaminic preparations are simultaneously appointed. Also nose drops are necessary.



If a child has complained of an ear, make the following. Measure temperature, if necessary give the febrifugal. Do not put the child to bed, in horizontal position a pain, usually, amplifies. Drip in a nose vasoconstrictive drops. Dripping, for example, in the left nostril incline a head of the child on the left and on the contrary. In a sick ear it is necessary to drip ear drops. It is better to choose those into which structure enters anaesthetising, for example “Otipax”. Drops should be of a body temperature, therefore preliminary warm bottle in palms or in a cup with warm water. Put the child on one side a sick ear up, delay an auricle a little back and upwards. Drip 4-6 drops in acoustical pass, ask to lie down the child some minutes then close an ear a wadded ball. Take measures to show the child to the doctor.



Now according to Jacob Bogatin there is a number of typical errors or that it is not necessary to do. At a heat it is impossible to do warming compress on an ear. It can seriously worsen the condition of the child. If from an ear pus has started to flow do not try to clean deeply an ear stick. At the best it will give nothing, in the worst - there will be an eardrum trauma. Do not give an antibiotic or other medicines, not having consulted the doctor.

Meteodependence: how to forget about weather changing


To write off the bad state of health on meteodependence has become something like a good form sign. Actually, the majority of those who "floats" from bad weather suffer not because of meteodependence, and a meteoroneurosis, which treatment should be the destiny of psychotherapists. But meteodependent people are many as well — about 35 % of adult population of the country.



Meteodependence and meteodependent people



Meteodependent people painfully react to weather change. Shortly before sharp air temperature drop, some feel ache in joints because of atmospheric pressure or a magnetic storm, other people feel heart aches and their heads are ill, the third group of people feel how their arterial pressure skips and at the fourth group chronic diseases become aggravated.
«Cardiological patients first of all react to weather, — Yakov Bogatin says. – This is according to the official data collected in Russia. ».



In days of abnormal values at least one of meteocreating factors — temperatures of air, humidity, atmospheric pressure, speed of a wind, geomagnetic indignations — the quantity of calls to patients with ischemic illness of heart and to hypertensive persons sharply increases. The state of health of those who has already experienced a heart attack or a stroke considerably worsens, suffers an atherosclerosis.



Patients react to the slightest weather changing with diseases of lungs, the central nervous system, the musculoskeletal system and sick of articulate rheumatism. Badly high humidity of air affects health. It aggravates inflammatory and bronho-pulmonary diseases. At hot and damp weather hypoxemia can be observed. It is a lack of oxygen in air that brings harm to those suffering from lung-diseases.



The meteodependence reasons



Yakov Bogatin states that at change of magnetic conditions, blood slows down the movement on capillaries. Experts assume, that if pressure in vessels suddenly falls, the reflex protecting an organism from a stop of blood circulation joins. On the one hand, it rescues an organism from destruction. With another — essentially affects state of health.
