First danger in children’s diseases: obesity

Obesity has taken the first and most important
place in childhood diseases. In the last ten years, there has been an
increase of 60% in the number of children with obesity. This increase,
both in Turkey and worldwide, is becoming frightening. It occurs when the
fat-muscle index in the body structure reaches unbalanced dimensions. In
some cases, excessive appetite can be diagnosed, not obesity. For the most
accurate diagnosis, it is useful to see the pediatrics and pediatrics
department of the hospital. Obesity in children has many symptoms and
causes. These reasons are divided into two as psychological and
physiological. The main causes of the urge to eat are determined by
interviewing the child in the hospital environment.

It also goes through a series of tests. After
just a few hours of measurement, the excess fat in the child is determined. Symptoms
include frequent eating, asocialization, talking about eating, and excessive
tendency to eat junk food. The reasons may be body-oriented physiological
reasons. However, psychological obesity is also diagnosed in one third of
children. The treatment process is divided into many different parts. With
the examination of hormonal factors, the causes of obesity are revealed. Obesity
in children is a direct result of many diseases. Therefore, early
diagnosis and early intervention are extremely critical.

Parents are also warned by doctors and
nutritionists. Especially, it is important to give children the habit of
drinking water during the day. Medical brochures on the importance of
water are also distributed. In addition, the doctors explain that the
child is not given food as a reward. In some extreme cases, medication is
possible. In advanced obese children, the fat intake process may come into
play.

Another disorder in childhood diseases is
known as “scoliosis”. It means that the spine is more curved
than normal. Every family who notices posture disorder in their children
should apply to hospitals. Subsequently, an appointment should be made
from the pediatric and child health department. Posture disorders in
children are usually in the form of the letter S. However, in some cases,
C-shaped posture disorders can also be seen. An excessively oblique
appearance in the scapula is its biggest symptom. Doctors diagnose scoliosis
after performing the necessary examinations. After that, families should
take their children to the physical therapy department. After a series of
periodic physical therapy, the traces of the disease are completely removed. Among
the causes of scoliosis, sedentary life and tilted sitting positions are seen. It
is four times more likely to occur in children than adults.

Allergic diseases and symptoms in children

Allergic diseases in children are treated in the relevant
departments of hospitals. Children undergo a number of allergic tests
under the supervision of their parents. After these tests, it is
determined what patients have an allergic reaction to. In general, an
allergic reaction may occur to certain food and beverage foods. This is a
phenomenon that completely varies from child to child. Symptoms are
observed in almost the same way in every child. For the correct diagnosis
and treatment, the instructions of the doctors who serve within the scope of
pediatric and pediatric health should be listened. Dermatological effects
take the first place among the symptoms. Exfoliation of the skin and
severe itching are in the first place. Apart from this, some allergic
reactions manifest as continuous coughing and sneezing. The discharge that
manifests itself in the eye area is also included in the records as another
symptom. Parents should also notice rashes on certain parts of the
body. Subsequently, the list of banned foods that children are allergic to
is made.

treatment of physiologically sourced pediatric diseases. Special medicines
for children also repair the immune system. These drugs are prescribed. It
should be used regularly. Apart from this, control times should not be neglected
and should be brought to hospitals on time. Correct communication is
extremely important in psychological diseases. With the guidance of
doctors and specialists, pediatric diseases are in the recovery phase.
