This disease is endemic lice, but common, like having a cold, the contagion is also given as stated earlier by direct contact or through contaminated clothing and personal items, in this case, hats, caps, brushes, pillows, stuffed animals and now the headphones.

Migraines are severe attacks of headache with one of the following characteristics: pain on only one side of the head, or both sides of the head, nausea, vomiting, photophobia (intolerance to light), and intolerance noises or pain that worsens with movement. The symptoms and their duration varies from person to person and from one attack to another. Migraine causes dilation of blood vessels, which is causing intense pain. It is known that the dilation of the arteries is caused by chemicals released by nerve endings and inflammatory cells.

The classic migraine begins with specific symptoms called aura, commonly experienced as a distortion in vision or discomfort in the face. Common migraine by contrast, does not have this feature. Many patients experience a feeling that things are not as they should be or see lights, this feeling occurs more in women than in men aged between 11 and 45. The frequency of attacks tends to decrease with age.

An estimated 10% of children and up to 28% of adolescents suffer from migraines. But children’s migraine is different from that of adults. The adult takes four hours or more in children lasts from one hour to several days and pain is all over the head.

The treatments focus on eliminating the causes or factors that trigger, remove the pain (analgesia) and the prevention of pain with preventive medication.

To prevent migraines is necessary to avoid certain foods, like cheese, chocolate and alcohol. There are also hormonal factors and clear emotional events and stress. Fasting, sleepless nights and environmental factors are other causes.

When there is pain, we recommend the use of analgesics (painkillers) common, you can buy without a prescription, there is another group of drugs called triptans (sumatriptan, Zolmitripan and others), which are very effective in reducing pain.

Preventive medicines are used when migraine attacks occur twice a week or more. Among the most used are beta blockers, antidepressants and anticonvulsants.

But when it comes to children especially, many parents are afraid of anesthesia. There are many myths about it: is said to be dangerous because the person may never wake up. There is also talk of damage or injuries. But do not distress yourself. Today’s risks are very low. So do not worry.

As mentioned, the anesthetic has been created to not feel pain during surgery or during a surgical procedure. In addition, there are doctors who specialize, that is, after completing medical school, but study everything related to anesthetics and their administration during surgery. These are the anesthesiologists. The anesthesiologist (a) is in charge of being before, during and after surgery requiring general anesthesia. He or she is responsible (a) to review your child (a) to receive the type of anesthesia and the dose necessary and just, according to age, condition and type of surgery.

Not all surgical procedures require the same type of anesthesia. Is not the same heart surgery for example, extract a tooth. So there are different types of anesthesia.

General anesthesia

Used in cases where the person must be completely “asleep” or unconscious. Usually in major surgery. As it does not require any response from your child during surgery, and hoping that there will be an unpleasant experience, is better than he or she can “sleep” pleasantly while doctors work to improve their health. Furthermore, in some surgeries is also important not to move during the procedure.

For your little one into sleep, the anesthesiologist can put a mask that covers nose and mouth with some kind of gas or steam, or you can put a shot in the arm through which administer the anesthesia. During post-operative (after surgery) after anesthesia, a nurse, trained properly, will step in your child’s recovery, according to the instructions of the anesthesiologist.

Regional Anesthesia

Other surgeries require a lower dose of anesthesia, or simply require “off” only a specific region of the body. For example, from the waist down. Some people may be aware during surgery, while in other cases it is preferable they are sleeping with other sedatives. In some cases, children should be aware as in the case of obese children, since it is difficult for the anesthesiologist to feel the bone as a reference to the needle and to avoid damaging any structure like a nerve, prefer that the child is awake to tell him sitiene any inconvenience.

Local anesthesia

Local anesthesia is used for minor procedures, such as where doctors perform in their own offices or clinics. Through this type of anesthesia numbs only the area to be operated.

For some children, the fear of being awake during surgery and realize what is happening around him, is much larger than the fear of anesthesia. Many children want to be asleep not to see or hear anything that happens in that time, even when dealing with minor procedures, for example, when trying to remove a mole, because even the idea of an impression. Then tell the doctor would rather be completely asleep. However, this decision is the doctor sometimes in conjunction with the anesthesiologist considering several factors, including:

* The physical and medical condition of the child
* The type of surgery you perform your little one, and the duration thereof
* The medications you take and if you are allergic to any drugs or not
* If you have had a reaction to anesthesia, should have had previous surgery.

On the other hand, if your son (s) will not receive anesthesia and is very anxious about the surgery, talk to your doctor about how they can reduce their anxiety. Maybe they can sedate him to be drowsy during the procedure. The doctor can explain or to be asleep to make it more quiet (a).

As you may have noticed, there is nothing to worry about when it comes to resorting to anesthesia. Whether your child (a) have to undergo surgery with general anesthesia or otherwise, remember this will not feel pain and have a better attitude if they have to undergo further surgery in the future. Talk to your child (a) and explain that anesthesia is like a deep sleep that will help awaken more healthy or to treat or cure any problem.

If you have questions about anesthesia or surgery for your child to be submitted (a) ask your doctor and / or the anesthesiologist.

Diet is key in controlling high cholesterol and overweight in our children. These conditions can cause many health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure. Moreover, not only can affect your child now but also during adulthood. By helping your child lead a healthy diet and do regular exercise may reduce the risk of these health problems.

Firstly it is important to be an example. If you prepare nutritious meals for your family your son will get used to eating a healthier way. Make sure to provide a variety of foods so that it receives all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly.

At breakfast, for example, you should give foods high in fiber. Whole-grain breads, cereals, fruit, low fat cheeses and yogurt are also good food to start the day. Use skim or low-fat instead of whole milk. Fruit juice is usually high in calories and sugar and has fewer nutrients than fresh fruit.

For lunch bread used to make a healthy sandwich. Whole grains increase the total amount of fiber in your child’s diet and also are less prepared than white bread. Give your child always used graham crackers and fresh fruit instead of other snacks high in calories and low in nutrients.
