With the start of the school year, children get sick with ARVI more often: what Dr. Holubovska advises.
After the holidays the number of contacts rises sharply, and with it the risk of transmission of respiratory viruses: “frequent colds in the fall do not at all mean that a child’s ‘immunity has dropped’.”
The doctor advises restoring the child’s normal sleep schedule before school, checking the vaccination record, and discussing influenza vaccination with the doctor. If the child becomes ill, do not give antibiotics “just in case” on your own: they do not work for viral infections, and unjustified use promotes the spread of resistant bacteria. Immunomodulators are also unnecessary for a healthy child “for prevention.” If influenza is suspected, it is important not to delay seeing a doctor — specific antiviral therapy is most effective at the start of the illness.
