Asthma and diabetes are very popular in childhood and last forever as chronic illnesses?
ANSWER: Hi, According to a data provided by the Word Health Organization (WHO), asthma and diabetes are at first and a second place as a cause of morbidity in childhood. The worst thing in here is that the number of children with these diseases is growing daily. That is the reason why more and more scientists are working on a solution of these two problems. Regarding these two diseases, we have to admit that they are chronic and they cannot be cured at all. The only thing that it can be done is to reduce the symptoms and to try do teach the kids to live with these conditions, until a definite cure is found. Nowadays, it is quite possible to maintain the physical condition of the kids in purpose to ensure them a normal live. But it is quite important to teach the kid to cope with this condition by himself and to know what to do and what not to do in purpose to be safe. That means that the kid can not take pill to control diabetes, but have to inject insulin themselves every day, which is pretty harmful, but this is the only solution. Regarding to the last studies, a condition like diabetes is much more harmful for the psychology of the child, because of the needles. For that reason, a treatment of diseases like that requires the presence of psychologist in purpose to explain the kid that there is nothing wrong with this and everything is just normal. Furthermore, your kid knows that other children do not use needles at all, therefore, they should be taught that this is a normal thing for them and not for other children. Dr.Alba |
