Due to force majeure child left without breast milk. The mother picks him one mixture after another, but none of them fit: the child is still in the meal starts to worry, crying, then throws suck a bottle with a mixture purses leg to his stomach, shouting, and after a while there is a frothy, liquid stools, abundant with a sour smell. This happens several times a day, always during feeding. Often the child is due to lactase deficiency, in which you need to carefully pick his food.

We select a mixture of

Children with lactase deficiency, a mixture of selected individually. Begin feeding with lactose free formula or a mixture with traces of lactose. This type of compounds are mixtures used as the main component of soy protein, such as Similac-izomil (USA), Nutrilon soya (Netherlands / Russia), Frisosoy (Netherlands), Nan soybeans (Switzerland), Nutrilak soybeans (Russia), Soybeans sempai (Switzerland), Enfamil soy (USA), Humana SL (Germany) and the mixture based on the full or partial protein hydrolyzate, which include Alfaro (Switzerland), Pregestemil (USA), Enfamil Nutramigen (USA), Frisopep (Holland ).

It is impossible to use such mixtures for continuous supply of the child, since it may impair the growth of the normal microflora in the intestine.

After the improvement of health and normalization of stool you need to either go to a mixture of low-lactose, such as Nan HA (Switzerland), Hipp HA 1 (Austria) or Humana GA1 (Germany), or to replace part of the mixture with a mixture of lactose free with normal lactose.

If you choose the way of replacement, the first substitute for one fifth of the mixture lactose free mixture with normal lactose, and lactose free produce it after the mixture through the feed. In the normal state of health of the baby the next day the new mixture is given at each feeding. After three days in the case of saving a normal chair and well-being replaced by one-fourth of the mixture lactose free at each feeding. Thus, the substitution of the mixture is continued, focusing on the well-being of the child.

Repeated signs of lactase deficiency is necessary to return to the previous diet and maintain it for a month, after which you can gently try to increase the amount of the mixture with normal lactose.

The introduction of complementary foods at the lactase deficiency

Lure at the lactase deficiency in children on artificial feeding is administered in accordance with the age recommendations of pediatricians. Kashi is recommended to prepare not to whole milk, and blend that nourishes the baby, it helps his digestion and to avoid discomfort. Fruit purees, manufactured industrially, are entered in the child's diet over four months, and fruit juices - after six months. Dairy products such as yogurt and kefir, should enter in the mild to moderate form of lactase deficiency after the child reaches one year of age.

In severe lactase deficiency can be used as an additional supply special Low-dairy products. These patients often need to limit the use of drugs, including biological products, in which lactose is used as filler. These children can use lactase preparations Baby Lactase Baby - biologically active food supplement for children   Lactase enzyme and pre dairy products, following the recommendations of a pediatrician.

Kagocel today is widely used in the treatment of seasonal viral infections in adults. But his children are allowed to give only six years old. This is because in children (as well as in pregnant women) were not carried out clinical trials.

So whether Kagocel safe for children?

In accordance with the international rules of each new drug must first undergo laboratory tests (including animals), and then on the clinical groups of patients being treated with this drug. Since Kagocel touted as a completely harmless drug, but, nevertheless, it is allowed to use only for children from 6 years old, we can assume that the reason is that younger children were not conducted clinical trials. And if this was not done, no one can guarantee the safety of Kagocel specifically for this group of patients.

How does a child's body Kagocel

Children older than 6 years Kagocel recommended as a tool for the prevention and treatment of influenza Influenza - expect the unexpected but always   and acute respiratory viral infections. On the body of a child Kagocel acts just like an adult, because the protein interferon is produced by the human body from birth. A kagatsel simply causes the cells to produce interferon in larger quantities.

It is known that interferon produced by cells in response to the introduction of viruses into the body. It activates the biologically active substances that block the formation of the viral nucleic acid, blocks the synthesis of proteins required for the construction of viruses, stops the reproduction of the virus, it activates enzymes that destroy nucleic acids necessary for building a protein of the virus, preventing viral infection of healthy cells.

Substances that stimulate the production of interferon (interferon inducers) divided into early and late. Early inducers (e.g., arbidol) cause the maximum level of interferon in four - eighteen hours, and late (e.g., Kagocel) - twenty four - forty eight hours. Therefore arbidol recommended no later than the second day of the disease, and Kagocel - not later than the fourth. They may well be combined as they enhance the action of each other.

Interferon - this antiviral protein, which the body synthesizes itself, so it can not have a toxic effect. Its beginning to produce all cells of the immune system The immune system - how it works? : T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, granulocytes. Kids Help interferon Interferon - protects against diseases of the new century?   in the fight against viral infections especially necessary, because all infections in children occur often generalized body, that is to defeat all the organs and tissues. Interferon, stifling livelihoods virus - infectious agents, can greatly facilitate the course of infection and prevent the transition process in the generalized.

And has a value that is composed of cellulose Kagocel with fixed therein active molecules. Since cellulose is not absorbed in the intestine, Kagocel as little absorbed in the intestine. Basically it induces interferon in cells of intestinal lymph. The blood is drawn about twenty percent of the dose. The main part of Kagocel blood binds to proteins (more than thirty-five percent) and lipids (more than forty five percent) of liquid part of blood (plasma), but part remains free (more than fifteen per cent). From the blood it goes to the liver and other organs, where it can persist for weeks.

If you take Kagocel developed in accordance with the scheme, it is gradually distributed to all organs and tissues. A particularly large amount thereof is accumulated in the spleen and lymph vessels.

Displayed Kagocel seven days mainly with faeces, but some of the displays and in the urine.

With which diseases and how to make children Kagocel

Kagocel release tablets 12 mg, in a single package ten tablets. Assign it to children for the treatment and prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and flu. After the onset of the disease Kagocel need to start taking as soon as possible, but not later than on the fourth day. With the purpose of treatment after six children Kagocel administered for four days, the first two of the day one tablet three times a day, two days following one tablet twice a day. In the course of treatment required ten tablets (a package).

Contraindications Kagocel children older than six years can only idiosyncrasy of the drug. Kagocel well with other antiviral drugs such as Arbidol, which they potentiate (increase) of each other.

Kids during viral infections (especially hard proceeding) interferon can be invaluable. Therefore it is necessary to stimulate its release Discharges in women when there is cause for concern   by means of inductors as Kagocel and arbidol. This will facilitate the child's condition and prevent possible complications.
