Every child who gets into a kindergarten is faced with problems that require adaptation. This is expressed very often by colds viral diseases. This is due to an insufficiently formed immune system. When autumn and winter cold, the disease is significantly increased, and parents often wonder how to protect the baby from this. The fact is that viruses have one unusual property: even if the child does not get sick, he can be a bearer of infection. Thus, when children spend time together, the viruses are exchanged. Further, cold epidemics arise in this aggressive environment, since the child has not yet been ill, and his body has not yet developed immunity to these diseases. Sometimes parents, without treating the child to the end, bring him back to the kindergarten and the disease returns. This is the most rude and common mistake of parents, therefore, if the child is still ill, it must be treated until the end. If this is not done, other children can also get sick in the group.
