EXPERTS STATE THAT ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID TO THE NUTRITION OF BABIES DURING SEASONAL TRANSITIONS AND RECOMMEND THE CONTINUATION OF INTAKE OF BREAST'S MILK, WHICH INCREASES IMMUNITY.
Experts state that attention should be paid to the nutrition of babies during seasonal transitions. Stating that, he recommends continuing to consume breast milk, which increases immunity.
Medicana Konya Hospital Pediatric Diseases Specialist Asst. Assoc. Dr. Zeynel Abidin Taşbaş stated that sudden temperature changes pave the way for diseases and said, “In winter, wear thick clothes according to the conditions, and in summer, choose thin and light-colored clothes. In the spring, this situation changes. Because there are sudden temperature changes and temperature differences during the day, and the risk of disease increases during this period. It is especially difficult for babies to adapt to this disease risk and they can get sick quickly. Sudden temperature changes pave the way for diseases. Especially babies and children are vulnerable because their immune system is not fully developed. Babies get sick more quickly due to this low immunity. While simple flu microbes are treated as just flu, especially in children and adults, in babies, especially young babies, these flu microbes cause lung infection and even heart failure along with respiratory failure in more advanced stages. That's why these babies should be careful about nutrition during seasonal transitions and breastfeeding should be ensured,” he said.
“BE CAREFUL FOR THROAT AND EAR INFECTION AFTER FLU AND COLD.” Dr. Zeynel Abidin Taşbaş said, “An important point is that babies and children experience ear infections along with throat infections after flu and cold. Therefore, ear examination is also important in children with strep throat during seasonal transitions. It causes complications, especially when there is inflammation in the ears. "If there is an ear infection, it should also be treated," he said. Stating that it causes allergic symptoms such as asthma and hay fever in allergic babies and children, Dr. Taşbaş said, “During these periods, it is important to stay away from areas where pollination occurs and places should be avoided. It is also important to start preventive treatment for children with allergies during these seasons. The best protection during seasonal transitions is a healthy diet. The best healthy food, especially for babies, is breast milk. Continuing breastfeeding during these periods and consuming seasonal vegetables and fruits will be beneficial. "Herbal immunity-boosting syrups can also be supplemented to support the treatment of children with allergies during seasonal transitions," he said.
