Yes, the school now for another long summer and it is at this time of year, when children spend more time on leisure outside and friends, when they are likely to suffer from these diseases and common conditions. However, if you take preventive measures, and then you can avoid some of them and if the inevitable occurs, so here is how to deal:

Sunburn

Sunburn is the most obvious. Everyone needs to moderate exposure to the Sun for every day since it is the source of vitamin D, however, excessive exposure can lead to sunburn, skin lesions and the possibility of developing cancer of the skin of the years later. They say that most damage are skin of the person, in their first 18 years of life as a result, if your child is going to be in the Sun for more than 20 minutes (10 minutes if they are very fair skin), and then make sure that they wear protection: that they wear a hat (preferably wide-Hat), a T-shirt to cover the back and the shoulders of cotonet sunscreen for SP30 or more.

Insolation

This is caused when a person is exposed to extreme heat, so make sure that your child is drinking lots of fluids in the summer months and not exposed to excessive amounts of heat for long periods. If they have too many layers of clothing or perform the heat all day this may also cause insolation. Symptoms include: hot and dry, congested skin that then goes pale or purple; shallow or rapid breathing. strong momentum and high temperature; headache. and dilated pupils. If you believe that your child is sunstroke, and then enter them in a shaded immediately area cool and give them plenty of water. You should also consult a doctor.

Allergies

There are several types of allergies seen in small children (and adults too). The most common include: grass, molds, pollen, some chemicals, dust, insects, poison ivy, hair additives and certain foods or food animal. Symptoms may include sneezing, runny nose, eye itching, difficulty breathing, cough, rash and diarrhea. Treatment depends on what is the allergen and poorly their reaction to it. Keep away from the source and symptoms should disappear. If you cannot step (for example in the case of grass or pollen allergy), then you can give them some over-the-counter antihistamines.

If your child should be unfortunate enough to have an allergic reaction, serious and go into anaphylactic shock i.e. wheezing, breathing problems, the language of swelling, etc., then either call 9-1 - 1 or drive immediately to the Medical Centre / nearest hospital. A tip here: If you have a few handy antihistamine, give them leaving the emergency room. I gave my son of half of antihistamines in adults when he went into anaphylactic shock and when I arrived at the hospital, the doctor told me that I probably saved his life.

If your child has severe allergies and is going to be spending the day with a friend or parent or care home, then sure that a person who is responsible for him is aware of Allergy and that you leave drugs with them.

Eat out

Bacteria thrive in hot and humid environment. Therefore, food poisoning and diseases due to food infection is more common in summer days when your family is enjoying picnics and barbecues.

Cold foods must remain in a cooler with the lid down. Limit the number of times that as you open, so that it keeps more cool. In addition, Pack your cooler so you keep raw and cooked food separate and there is no cross-contamination, for example between the cooked meat and fresh fruit.

Hot food should carefully grilled so that it is cooked throughout. Then keep hot until eaten - keep on the side of the grid or wrap in paper in a container insulated until it is ready to be eaten.

Is the same for cold - and hot food must be thrown after having been exposed to the air for two hours (one hour if the temperature is greater than 90 degrees).

Avoid buying any food from external suppliers and rather to carry fruit and other healthy snacks, where they feel hungry (and of course lots of fruit juices and water to keep hydrated).

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are not only very boring, but leave you with itchy red bumps and there is also the possibility that they may carry the West Nile virus. If your child is to take part in outdoor early evening activities, keep their skin covered as much as is practical and then make sure that you use mosquito repellent on any part of his body which is not covered.

If your child get bitten, you can apply calamine lotion or a baking soda paste to the affected area to relieve itching and swelling. Some excellent over-the-counter remedies are also available for bites.

Deer ticks

If your children will play in a wooded area or long grass, and then make sure that they are dressed as much as possible, with their shirts huddled in their short films, etc. Yet again, spray insect repellent on exposed skin surface.

Your child to look closely and if they have been quite unfortunate pick up a deer tick, then you must remove it carefully with tweezers, ensure that you get the tick together. Then wash the area with SOAP and water.

Deer ticks carrying Lyme disease and can make you very sick. Therefore, if your child develops one of the following symptoms, then you should take their doctor immediately: pain and swelling; Red streaks leading the region. swollen glands. the fever and chills.
