Childhood diseases: To vaccinate or not?

There are many diseases that you can get in your life. This starts at a young age with the childhood diseases. You probably recognize it yourself whether you have had them now or not.

You probably also saw it in your area as a child. For example, you have measles, red dog, the fifth disease, chickenpox and mumps.

Most children get through well and recover after a period of being sick. Others are very bad and even have something left of it. For example, the measles can cause injury in the brain and the mumps can shoot to the genitals in boys. These diseases are being looked at from different sides.

That way you have people who vaccinate their children against these diseases and people who are just vaccinating.

But which diseases often occur? And how can you recognize them? How do these diseases go?

Below are three diseases for which you can vaccinate your children. But because not everyone chooses for this, it is also useful to know how to recognize them and what the symptoms are.

Whine cough

Whooping cough is mainly expressed in a cold and violent coughing, sometimes vomiting as a result. The period before the coughing starts is a child contagious and the child can transfer the disease through the mouth and nose, by coughing or sneezing for example. Total the disease (from the pre -stage to reconvalescence stage) takes five weeks.

The measles

The symptoms of this childhood disease include: high fever, coughing, colds, ear or eye infection. In addition, gross red spots come over the body and a child can also get brain or pneumonia in extreme cases. Four days before the spots become visible, your child is contagious and the disease can be transferred. It is therefore advised to avoid contact.

The disease can last about one to two weeks.

Madman

The mumps can be recognized by headache, muscle pain, fever and upper respiratory tract infection. In addition, the face (due to stuffed glands) can swell and hurt a lot. One to two days before the swelling starts, a child is contagious and the disease can be transferred through mouth and nose, through coughing and sneezing for example.

A child remains contagious for about five days after the swelling action. The disease can last about two to three weeks.

Have you vaccinated your children? Despite the vaccination, they still had childhood diseases? Your child then had slight symptoms or was it still quite intense?
