Parents of small children often wonder whether their child’s seemingly endless infections are due to a weakened immune system or just part of growing up.
The following symptoms are tell-tale signs of a battling immune system in both adults and children.
- Repeated infections that need 3 or more courses of antibiotics in 6 months.
- Chronic fatigue, listlessness, lack of energy or weakness.
- Weight loss or inability to gain weight.
- Allergies like asthma or eczema. An allergy is a overreaction of the immune system to a allergen like pollen or dust. Because of this overreaction the immune system has too few resources to fight infections.
- Chronic diarrhea. (Diarrhea that persist for 2 weeks or longer.)
- Oral thrush or vaginal yeast infection (Candidiasis.)
- Slow wound healing.
- Swollen glands without a visible infection related to the area.
- Recurrent cold sores or fever blisters – as some call it.
So now that you suspect your child’s immune system is under pressure – where does one start? In most cases a weakened immune system has it’s roots in lifestyle choices like diet, stress or lack of exercise.
Environmental influences like toxins in water or in the air can also play a big role. Premature babies tend to start with a immune system that is under pressure from the start. The list of possible causes are endless, but if one can treat or eliminate the factors that contribute to a weakened immune system it could make a huge difference in a child’s quality of life.
