For the autumn period is characterized by the exacerbation of bronchial asthma. Especially when the children first attack of the disease most often occurs as early as September to October. According to the recent statistics, 50% of often ailing children actually suffer from allergies, which has not been established. So if your child is having constant colds, it is desirable that it be tested for allergy. For this purpose, a blood analysis for immunoglobulin E (showing the common allergic proteins in the blood) and skin samples to reveal the response to different environmental factors – dust mites, animals and more. The most common major mistake of the parents of such children is that they attempt to put their diagnosis and to treat them independently, without consulting a doctor. As a result, prejudice many processes in the body. And when the last child still get allergy, it appears that the picture of the disease has changed and is very difficult to determine the root cause. The second common mistake is the adoption of the funds. Most people with allergies are sensitive not only to pollen, but also to dust mites. Therefore bouts of sneezing, coughing and runny nose do not pursue them seasonal and year-round.

The spring colds are less frequent than in the winter – at least it shows statistics. Many believe that the reason for this is spring fatigue, lack of sunlight and vitamins. But there is another more important reason – Spring viruses are much more active. And to overcome them successfully, we need to change their methods of protection. The air temperature of -3 to 5 degrees and high humidity typical of spring months are ideal conditions for respiratory viruses. Rino-viruses only (those who primarily produce fever) do not feel comfortable. However, even if they are able to live up to 3 hours on hands and various objects. Yet this is far less than vital period adeno-viruses example – at 4 degrees to 70 active days! Activity of influenza viruses and cold depends not only on temperature but also humidity. It was found that at room temperature flu virus is spreading most rapidly when the humidity is relatively low (20-35%) or relatively high (above 85%). At 50% humidity that reduces the activity of the virus. These facts confirm the well-known recommendations for frequent ventilation of the premises, the placing of air humidifiers and more often out in the fresh air. But everything changes when the air temperature 5 degrees. The virus becomes active in high humidity – ie in warm and wet spring weather. Here is what is due to the strong wave of the March “spring” flu.
