Early disease detection in children

It is very important that the mother should have such information that will enable it to detect disease in its first appearance, and for the child to insure timely medical assistance. The knowledge that it will be difficult to obtain. Has only to bear in mind, what are the signs that represent health care, and she suddenly see that any deviation from it must mean that the incidence of the disease, if not the actual disease. With these changes has to a certain extent that it is familiar.

Signs of health.---------------

Signs of health are available first in the healthy performance of the various functions of the body, regular demands on his delivery, even in the surplus or shortage, and the like regularity in their faeces, both in quantity and appearance.

If the indication of the healthy infants can be seen that something can be learned from this. There is the perception that universal roundness in all parts of the body of a child that there is no such thing as an angle can be found all over the indication whether the limbs are bent or straight, each line represents part of the circle. Feet will feel firm and solid, and if they are bent, the joints can not be found.

Language, including in health, is always white, but will be released from the sores, skin cool, clear eye, the skin clear that the head cool, and the belly is not too far design, breathing regularly and without effort.

When awake, that little baby will be cheerful and lively, and love to be played with, will often break out in joy, joy, laughter, while on the other hand, when asleep, that rest will appear in each property consists Displaying his countenance an expression of happiness, and often, perhaps, lit with a smile.

As well as in accordance with the above remarks are present and all health can be said that there are, in proportion to their partial or complete absence of the disease will have usurped its place.
We will, however, because of clearness examine the symptoms of the disease, which was independently of the appearance that the gestures, in his sleep, stool, as well as breathing and cough.

From the appearance.-------------------
In health care is easy and thild is expressive of peace in mind and body, but if the child is unwell, this term has changed, and in a manner that is to some extent, indicating what parts of the system is to blame.

On the eyebrows to be closed, as far as pain, and its headquarters are in the head. This is very often the first external signs something is going wrong, and will be at the very beginning of the disease, if it remarked at an early period, and the proper remedies used his testimony may prevent one of the most infantile fear of complaints "Water in the head."

If this is a sign around unattended, and the above-mentioned diseases there is a risk that will become fixed and staring eyes, hothead, and moved with difficulty from side to side on the pillow, or is largely the result of the nurse on hand, the child will start in his sleep, grinding his teeth, and wake up terror and shouting, his face is flushed, especially the face (as if rouged), its warm hands, feet, but cold, and his bowels obstinately costive, or his proposals for the poor , Dark - colored, and foul.

If the lips are drawn from each other so as to show the teeth or gums, the seat is abdominal pain. This sign, however, will only present the reality of suffering, if there is therefore no doubt that there are, press on the belly and watch the eifect of observations on the appearance.
If the pain only be the result of irritation of the bowels excited from the stomach, it will be temporary, and will sign and come as a spasm may occur, and a slight corrective action will be a relief.

However, if it is more serious diseases, inflammation, and the result is the sign of the ever more present, and soon becomes pale countenance, or pale and sunken, the child will dread movement, is back with knees bent to the abdomen , The language will be disposed of, and breathing, while the chest is seen as out of more than usual effort, the belly muscles will remain perfectly calm.

If the nostrils are drawn up and rapid movement, there is a pain in the chest. This sign, however, will generally be accompanied by inflammation in the chest, in which case it will be easy color, eyes, more or less staring, and it will be difficult to breath and hurried, and if the child is in the respiring look, Chest will adhere to unmoved , While the belly quickly heaves with each inspiration.

Seizures are usually preceded by some changes in appearance. The upper lip will be developed, and is occasionally bluish or bluish. It may be a slight squinting, or a singular rotation eye on its own axis; alternate flushing or paleness in the face, and sudden animation followed by languor.
These symptoms are manifested, sometimes many hours, not days before the attack took place, can be seen as a warning, and if a timely notice and adequate medical attention resorted to the incidence of seizures can be completely prevented.

Status eyes should always be attended. In the health sector are clear and bright, but the disease is becoming dull and difficult to give the appearance of appearance, when after a long irritation will continue to assume a degree of speed, which is very remarkable, and a pearl brightness, which is better known from observation than is possible from the description.

The direction of the eyes, too should be considered from this we can learn something. When the child is the first brought to light, both eyes are hardly ever directed to the same object: this occurs without any tendency to disease, and just proves that if there is one object with both eyes is the only one acquired habit. But when the child has to come up to the age when the eyes of the habit directed to the same object, then that is losing power, that fact alone may be seen as a prelude to the common disease of the head.

The gestures.----------------
These gestures and a healthy child, are all easy and natural, but in those deviations occur illness, which he often refers to the nature of the disease.

Imagine a child to gain the strength to support itself, that his head erect, whether the illness, its title will go down immediately, and the power will be lost, only to again return to health, and during the an interval of every posture and movement is that, in languor.

Is a small, that just learned he runs himself from the seat of the chair, which have two or three teeth on the pressing and irritating gums will be some time will be fully taken on his feet, and perhaps is languidly in his bed, or at the nurse on the arm.

Feet are drawn to the abdomen, and accompanied by tears, as evidence of disorder and pain in the belly. Print on this page, and the pressure will increase your pain. Look at the secretions from within themselves and their unhealthy nature of your suspicions, referring to the seat disorder, are at once confirmed.

In the hands of a child in health care are rarely carried over his mouth, but let there be something wrong on the head and stomach present, and little hands are constantly increasing the head and face.

Sudden starts, when awake, as well as during sleep when there are a trivial reasons, should never be taken into account. It is often related to the impending failure of the brain. May presage a convulsive seizure, and such suspicions are confirmed, if you find that your thumb child definitely drawn and pressed on hand with fingers so compressed that the hand may be forced to open without problems. The same condition will exist in the leg, but not so much peace, there can also be swollen state on the back of the hands and feet, and both feet and wrists bent down.

There are other, milder symptoms and seizures associated with a threatening gesture, which should be considered: the head is drawn well back hand fixed to the side, or close to it, as well as one of the drawn stifle upside down. These symptoms, as well as those above, it is confirmed beyond any doubt, should be present at certain changes in the usual habits of children: in the event that sleep is disturbed when there are frequent attacks crying, irritability of great humor, it is easy turn red a bright, sudden animation followed by a sudden attack on languor, catchings of breath followed by a long and deep inspiration, so all the warning signs of an imminent attack.

Of sleep.------------
Sleep on the infant in health is quiet, composed and refreshing. In early childhood, when not on breasts, it is largely no longer sleeping in his cot, and despite the months that sleeping less, but when it comes to rest in an hour, the child is not previously set for the rest before it ceases to a quiet, peaceful sleep.

Not so, if ill. Often it is unwilling to be put into his bed at all, and nurses will be required to take the infant in his arms, but will sleep, but in a very short time, and agitated and disturbed manner.

If it is suffering from pain, but mild, the mood is clear and as when awake, so now if there is something wrong with the head of the contraction of the eye-brow and grinding of teeth will appear, if there is something wrong with the abdomen, lips will depend on each other, showing his teeth or gums, and in both cases it will be great unrest and frequent startings.

Of stools.--------------
In the new-born babies proposals are dark colored, very similar to the pitch as the consistency and appearance. The first milk, however, exclude the mother's breast, acts as a laxative for babies' intestines, and thus about four-and-twenty hours, it is far from clean.

Since then, and through the entire infancy, the stools are light yellow, thin consistency of the mustard, with little smell, smooth appearance, and therefore free from lumps or white curded matter, and passed without pain or any significant amount of wind. And if the child is in the health sector, will have a daily two or three or even four, of these evacuations. But as it ages, not so frequent, but the darker colors and more solid, though not so much that as an adult.

Any deviation, then the above characters, is obviously a sign of something wrong, and as a condition vyšinutého heart is often a first indication we have come to illness, nurses should be directed to monitor the evacuation of a day. Their appearance, color, and how discharged, the body mainly as it looked. If the stools are very curdy appearance, or are too liquid, or green, or dark-color, smell or inappropriately, they are unrealistic. And with reference to the way they are discharged, it should be remembered that in a healthy child, the motion is passed, but with little wind, and as if squeezed, but the disease, it will be thrown out with considerable force, which is a sign of great irritation. The number, too, of stools passed during the four-and-twenty hours, it is important to note that in the event that your child is not accustomed relief (and it should not be forgotten that the children, although in excellent health, differ as it's the exact number)

To breathe and cough--------------------------
Breathing of a child in the health sector consists of equal inspirations and expirations, and quietly breathing regularly, inaudibly and effortlessly. But let inflammation of the air-tubes or lungs takes place, and the inspiration for a few hours, so fast and hurried and perhaps audible, that attention should be focused only on the circumstances, to be simultaneously viewed.

So all the changes that occur in breathing from its healthy standard, however, slight differences in the shade may be the most important should be recorded soon. For many complaints of chest pain, although very impressive in his character, if only to see a doctor early humans may be arrested in their progress, but otherwise, may be beyond the control of the arts. A parent, so that it could become familiar with the breathing of a child in health, and she will readily mark any changes that may occur.

Whenever a child has the symptoms of colds, which was attended by hoarseness and cough rough, take a look at him always suspected, and never neglect is seeking a medical opinion. Hoarseness is not usually participate in the common cold child, and these symptoms may be warning of an attack "diphtheria" disease, too fast in its progress, and the importance of this part affected, the performance, when they so function indispensably necessary for life, requires fast, and most decided to treatment.

The following comments Dr. Cheyne are so strikingly illustrative, and related to my present purpose, that I can not refrain from entering them, "The approach to attack diphtheria, which almost always held in the evening, probably on the same day during which the child has been exposed to the weather , And often after catarrhal symptoms after only a few days, it may be observed to be excited in different spirits, more ready than usual to laugh than cry, a little flushed, sometimes cough, the sound of the cough is rough, like the one that attends the catarrhal stage of measles. More generally, however, that the patient has been for some time in bed and asleep, before the nature of the disease for which there is a risk, it is clear, then, maybe, without woke up, gave a very unusual cough, but it is known that those who witnessed the attack against diphtheria, it rings as if the child has coughed through the tough trumpet, it's really tussis clangosa, but penetrates walls and floors of the apartment, and startles experienced mother, 'Oh! I am afraid our the child is with regard to diphtheria! " She runs on the parent, finds their child sleeping fine, and hopes that it may be mistaken. But still tend to him before long ringing cough, a single cough, is repeated again and again, the patient is awakened, and the new flag is marked , The sound of his voice changed; puling, and as if they were in the throat swelled that corresponds with cough, "etc.

How important that the mother should be aware of the above symptoms one of the most amazing complaints of childhood, which is the subject because it had to send for medical assistance in its first phase, the treatment is almost always successful, whereas it If this "golden opportunity" is lost, the disease is rarely yield on the impact of the measures, but wisely selected and persistently works.
