Bronchiolitis in Babies - Causes, Signs And Treatment
Is your baby having a hard time breathing and losing appetite lately? Chances are, he/she has bronchitis which is very common between the ages of three and six months old.
What Is Bronchiolitis?
When mucus fills the air passages in the lungs, it causes inflammation and prevents proper breathing and air flow regulation. This causes the baby to cough, giving him/her a hard time breathing. Bronchitis is a contagious condition in babies.
Difference Between Bronchitis And Bronchiolitis
In Bronchitis, the larger airways get infected due to excessive mucus production which the lungs try to eliminate through coughing. However, in Bronchiolitis, inflammation results in congestion of the bronchioles (small airways) which causes breathing difficulties in children.
Can Bronchiolitis Be A Problem For Babies?
Acute Bronchiolitis in infants and babies are caused by the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and those with existing heart or lung conditions need to be hospitalized immediately when diagnosed with this illness. Most young children below one year old face RSV infections, however, only 10% develop a Bronchiolitis condition.
How Long Does Baby Bronchiolitis Last?
Most Bronchiolitis cases last up to 12 days, however, coughing and wheezing may continue for weeks even after this period. During the second or third day, the child faces breathing difficulty at its peak after which recovery ensues.
When Is A Baby Most Likely To Get Bronchiolitis?
Babies are most likely to get Bronchiolitis between the ages of three months to six months old. Chances of developing Bronchiolitis increase when they are directly exposed to cigarette smoke and if they develop prematurely or if they have not been properly breastfed. Children who have a weakened immune system or have chronic heart/lung disease are also at risk of developing Bronchiolitis.
Causes Of Bronchiolitis In Infants
The following are the primary causes of Bronchiolitis in babies
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) which is contagious in nature
Adenoviruses which are responsible for 10% of acute respiratory tract infections in children
Viruses which cause inflammation in the lungs, nose and throat such as the Influenza
Exposure to cigarette smoke and tobacco
Bronchiolitis Symptoms In Babies
You can prevent and treat Bronchiolitis early by taking note of the following symptoms-
Baby refusing to be breastfed
Nasal flaring
Mild fever accompanied by a persistent cough
Skin areas above the collarbone and below the ribs sink with each breath
Wheezing or irregular breathing
Irritable mood and brief pauses between breaths
Vomiting immediately after being fed
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Bronchiolitis is usually done at the hospital or clinic. The doctor will collect a mucus sample of your child using a cotton swab and observe your child's breathing patterns by listening in to his/her chest through a stethoscope. If your child is suffering from severe Bronchiolitis, your doctor may-
Conduct a Chest X-ray exam.
Run blood tests to check for the count of white blood cells in the body.
Your doctor may also ask whether your child has been refusing to eat or not and look for signs of dehydration due to improper breastfeeding such as dry mouth and skin and little to lack of sufficient urination.
Complications
Cyanosis is a potential complication caused by severe Bronchiolitis and is noted by a blue tinge on the skin due to lack of sufficient oxygenation in blood cells. Dehydration accompanies severe Bronchiolitis developments alongside fatigue and in extreme cases, respiratory failure which leads to death in babies. If your child's Bronchiolitis condition is accompanied by severe cold, he/she may be susceptible to pneumonia.
Treatment For Infant Bronchiolitis
There are various ways to treat infant Bronchiolitis. They are-
Chest rubs on children using eucalyptus or camphor compounds provide relief from persistent cough
If your doctor allows it, you can give one or two nasal drops to your child
Doctor-prescribed medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen
Hospitalisation And Medication
If your child is in the extreme stages of Bronchiolitis, then medications and hospitalization are necessary. A special liquid diet along with the administration of IV fluids will be given to your child to prevent dehydration and worsening of existing symptoms. Some antibiotics may be prescribed if your doctor observes any signs of lung infections linked to your child's acute Bronchiolitis.
Home Remedies
The best way to prevent acute Bronchiolitis is by spotting common symptoms and beginning prevention treatment at home. Here are a couple of home remedies that work wonders for children-
Intake More Fluids - Encourage your child to increase his fluid intake by drinking more water and warm soups. This will soothe his/her throat and flush out mucus through coughing. A natural home remedy is warm water with lemon and honey. Green tea and cranberry juice are good alternative beverages for Bronchiolitis relief too.
Rest Enough - Getting enough rest and giving babies with bronchiolitis recovery time is crucial towards the treatment of the illness. Make sure your child sleeps in an upright position and elevate his/her head by placing a couple of pillows under the mattress.
Steam Baths - Steam baths and warm showers are perfect ways to relieve nasal congestion and flush out mucus from bronchioles. A steam shower may help your child improve his breathing and provide relaxation.
No Smoking - Ban smoking in your household and do not permit family members or grown-ups to smoke at home. Eliminate exposure to tobacco and remove any irritants such as dust, pollen and chemicals.
OTC Medications - If your child experiences pain and fever along with Bronchiolitis symptoms, then you may administer over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Please consult with your doctor before using these medications and get a prescription for appropriate dosage and instructions.
Warm Compresses - If your child experiences difficulty breathing then you may use a warm compress and place it over his/her chest. It will help relieve congestion and flush out mucus as well.
Use A Humidifier - Install a humidifier at home and prevent dehydration by running it during the nights.
Prevention
Bronchiolitis can be detected and prevented early on if you take a couple of precautions and safe measures. Here's how you prevent it in infants and babies-
Clean Their Toys - Make sure you wash and wipe toys to get rid of dust and any outdoor contaminants.
Wash Hands - Make sure you wash your child's hands (and even yours) before every feeding session.
Use Disposable Tissues - Disposable tissues prevent viruses and infections from spreading to others. This will keep others safe from infections, especially your baby if someone in the family already has Bronchiolitis.
Exercise Hygiene At Home - From cigarette smoke, exposure to tobacco, pollen, dust particles and other environmental irritants, keep your home hygienic and wipe surfaces clean to prevent Bronchiolitis from harming your baby.
When Should You Call The Doctor?
You should call the doctor immediately if you notice your child persistently coughing and breathing gets laboured. If your child experiences vomiting, has trouble eating properly, and is less than 12 months old with low birth weight, then you must immediately get him/her checked up at the clinic for precautionary measures. A dead giveaway for Bronchiolitis is if your child's skin turns blue (including lips and fingernails) and if their ribs go inward when they inhale breaths.
Although there are no specific treatment options available for complications of Bronchiolitis, the best way you can get your child treated is to prevent it early on. Make sure you maintain a healthy lifestyle and incorporate the above tips and practices to prevent Bronchiolitis from occurring in the future.

Listeria during Pregnancy
Listeria is a serious infection that can be dangerous to the foetus during pregnancy. Although it is a rare disease, the primary threat to the pregnant mother is its devastating effect on the baby which includes developmental problems, miscarriage or foetal death. Listeria can be prevented by good personal hygiene, and its onset can be curbed by early diagnosis and intervention.
What is Listeriosis
Listeriosis is an infection caused by the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria which is found in soil, water, dust, animal faeces, processed foods and raw meat. It is a rare infection which most commonly occurs by eating food that is contaminated by the bacteria. For the majority, listeriosis is a mild illness that can be cured with antibiotics and passes without any severe complications. However, in newborns, elderly and people with weak immune systems, Listeria can cause meningitis, blood infection and other complications that can be potentially life-threatening. Listeria infection in pregnancy can cause complications to the foetus which can be devastating and even lead to severe disease that can be fatal.
What Are the Odds of Getting Listeria while Pregnant
Although listeriosis is a rare infection, it is 20 times more common in pregnant women when compared to the general population. Of the total cases of infection in the population, an estimated 27% of the cases are pregnant women. Pregnancy increases the risk of listeriosis due to the changes in the mother’s immune system. When it is focusing more on defending the foetus, the mother becomes susceptible to infections.
Listeria Symptoms in Pregnancy
The symptoms of listeria may start between two days to even two months after exposure to the bacteria. Healthy adults and women who are not pregnant typically do not show any symptoms at all.
The symptoms of the infection are similar to flu with fever and muscle pain that is typical of any infection.
Symptoms in pregnant women include:
Fever
Chills
Muscle pain
Headaches
Nausea and vomiting
Confusion
Stiff neck
Who Is Most At the Risk of Getting Listeriosis
Women who have certain conditions have a slightly higher risk of the infection. Pregnant women have a significantly higher risk of listeriosis compared to the general population. Some of the conditions that make women susceptible to listeriosis are:
Diabetes
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
Use of steroids
Weakened immune system
Use of medicines that are immunosuppressive
Alcoholism
Cancer
How to Test for Listeria in Pregnancy
Some women show no symptoms, and some can develop it within 2 to 30 days, or longer. Since infections by eating food contaminated by listeria bacteria in pregnancy are the most common, the symptoms of that normally appear within 48 hours.
It can be roughly said that listeria is a kind of food poisoning that can cause complications in pregnancy. Hence if you’ve eaten some food recently that you suspect might be contaminated and if you are showing symptoms of the disease the doctor would order a listeria blood test during pregnancy. Cultures can take up to two days to grow. Due to the seriousness of the disease to the foetus, treatment might be started even before the results are out.
Treatment
Listeria can be treated using antibiotics. In most cases, the antibiotics work well and prevent the spread of the infection to the foetus. Newborn babies can also be treated with the same antibiotics.
Management
The mother will be given an intravenous antibiotic which treats the infection and may also help protect the baby. Since listeria and pregnancy is a combination known to cause birth defects, the baby will be monitored periodically using ultrasound scans to check for developmental problems.
Complications
Pregnant women who are infected with listeriosis have complications such as:
Miscarriage
Premature delivery
Stillbirth
Low birth weight in newborns
Foetal death
The infection can also affect pregnant mothers in some cases and cause:
Bacterial meningitis (which is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the brain)
Septicemia (Blood poisoning)
What is the Outlook
The effects of listeriosis can be severe on babies and also has a fatality rate of 20 to 30 percent. Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics can help avoid infection reaching the foetus and avert complications. However, it should be noted that not all babies that are born to infected mothers have problems.
Prevention
Preventive measures can help avoid your chances of an infection. Here are some noteworthy ones:
Cook All Meat Thoroughly
Meat such as poultry, fish, pork and others must be cooked thoroughly.
Use a food thermometer to ensure the right temperature.
70 to 82 degree Celsius is the minimum temperature at which all meat must be cooked.
Cook meat until it is no longer pink in the middle and fish until it is opaque.
Avoid sampling the meat before it is done.
2. Thoroughly Reheat Leftover Food
Listeria bacteria contamination can occur even after the food has been cooked. Since they can survive sometimes and continue to grow even under refrigeration unlike many other bacteria, all previously cooked food must be reheated before storage.
Food should also be reheated to 75 degrees Celsius or steaming hot before consumption.
3. Avoid Deli Foods Unless They Are Heated Thoroughly
Delis, cold cuts, meat spreads, smoked or pickled fish; refrigerated pates are all listeria foods to avoid in pregnancy. Since they have the highest chances of spreading the disease, they should only be consumed if they are cooked well until steaming hot.
Avoid any meat-based preparation that has been stored or refrigerated improperly.
4. Do Not Consume Unpasteurized (Raw) Milk
Avoid drinking raw milk whether it is from a cow, goat or buffalo. Also, avoid food prepared using unpasteurized milk.
Avoid soft cheese such as camembert and brie. Also avoid Mexican cheese such as blanco, queso, panela or queso fresco unless the label states clearly that they are made from pasteurized milk.
Cultured dairy products such as yoghurt and buttermilk are generally considered safe. So is cottage cheese, cream cheese, hard cheese and processed cheese.
Ensure to read the label on all dairy products to make sure they are made out of pasteurized milk to be on the safe side.
5 Thoroughly Wash All Produce
All your fruits and vegetables must be washed thoroughly before consumption.
When in doubt peal all fruits to be safe
6. Avoid Raw Sprouts
Try not to consume raw sprouts until after your pregnancy.
7. Avoid Contamination of Food That’s Ready to Eat
Wash utensils, cutting boards, dishes, counters and your hands with soap water after handling potentially contaminated food.
Keep potentially contaminated foods such as unwashed produce, poultry, uncooked meat etc. away from clean cooked food that is ready to eat.
8. Cleanse Sponges and Dishcloths Routinely
Sponges and dishcloths are potential breeding ground for bacteria.
Clean them with hot water and soap regularly or in the microwave or the dishwasher
Wipe clean dishes, utensils and countertop dry with a clean dishtowel or paper towel regularly.
9. Don’t Keep Perishable Food Around Too Long
Consume ready-to-eat and perishable foods as soon as possible once you’ve opened their packaging.
Their expiry date holds good only when they remain unopened. Once opened, they should be consumed soon.
10. Set Your Refrigerator Temperature to Optimal Values
The ideal temperature for the refrigerator is between 1 to 4 degrees Celsius.
The freezer is to be kept at zero or below always and use a refrigerator thermometer to monitor regularly.
By maintaining good hygiene, it is possible to prevent listeriosis and pregnancy complications.

# New born skin,common issues and skin care in a nutshell
Hai friends.
Today I am writting in breif about the newborn skin and its difference from and adult skin.Skin is one the largest organ in our body with a lot of very important functions.Its the primary barrier against all pathogens.But is the newborn skin as equipped as adults skin to compact all pathogens...Definitely not....Hence care of new born skin is very important and is entirely different from that of an adult /child.Discussion will be under these broad headings

1-Difference between adult and newborn skin
2-Goals of skin care
3-skin care and issues:bath,diaper use,umbilicus care
1-DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEWBORN AND ADULT SKIN
#new born skin is thinner than adults
#functionaly immature- more immature if gestation age is low as most maturation and fat deposition occurs in the last trimester of gestation
#increased permeability
#increased absorption
#increased evaporation-increases risk of dehydration with water loss(insensible water loss)
#very fragile due to very thin dermis
#decreased elasticity
2- GOALS IN SKIN CARE
#Minimal handelling-newborn should not be handled by many (common problem with too many visitors )..It increases risk for infection
#decrease water loss through skin:prevents dehydration.
#avoid exposure to toxins
#decrease exposure to unnecessary substances-most commonly seen is application of large amounts of kajal (contains lead),powder ect
#promote normal skin development
3-SKIN CARE
#Apply emollients (vaseline,petroleum jelly)- decreases water loss and gives temperature stability
#UMBILICAL CORD CARE
*Clean cord during bathing
*maintain it dry
*avoid applying herbal medications/turmeric powder
*fold diaper down so that it doesn't come in contact with the cord
*watch for pus discharge /redness around umbilicus(signs of infection )
# FIRST BATH
* If vitals stable ,weight normal(>2.5kg),temperature normal...then within 2-4 hrs after birth
*soap (mild/low alkaline)
*duration 2.5kg(however varies with the cleanliness and facilities of newborn care in institutions)
*term /small for date/preterm(2.5kg
*sanitize and dry hands before handling the newborns
# CARE OF DIAPER AREA
*diaper area is prone for infection because urine and faeces are alkalinising agents which alter the normal skin pH.Change in pH causes damage to the skin.
*avoid diaper usage as much as possible when indoor
*skin should be dried and aired between napkin changes
*observe for redness/rash in diaper areas.
I hope this articles gives a brief about the neonatal skin and common issues ..Kindly provide your valuable opinion and reviews.
Happy Parenting!!!! Read more

5 Healthy Ways a Humidifier Can Change Your Life
Dry air can be a reason for many ailments and skin problems. Using a humidifier can help combat dry air and save you from discomfort. But it's equally important to know how to use a humidifier. Find out the answer to this and many other questions about this miracle gadget.
It becomes very uncomfortable when the air around you gets too dry. Dry air can lead to a lot of health problems like dry throat, dry skin, sinusitis, chapped lips and nosebleeds.
What is a Humidifier and Why You Should Get One
A humidifier helps in increasing the level of humidity in the air. It’s a gadget that adds moisture to dry air in the form of water vapour or steam. Using it can protect you and your family from problems that are a result of extensive exposure to dry air.
What does a humidifier do for you?
1. It can provide relief from sinusitis and congestion
Do you suffer from congested sinuses? If the air in your home is too dry, it won’t help. In fact, it could aggravate it. You need your sinuses to drain out so that you can get some relief. Try installing a humidifier as it can give you some respite.
2. It promotes healing
If it’s your little darling who’s suffering because of extensive dryness in the air, all the more reason to have a humidifier in your house. By adding moisture to the air, her nasal passages will be lubricated and symptoms of cold, asthma and dry cough may go away.
3. It lessens nosebleeds
Nosebleeds are largely caused by dryness of the nasal passages. If the air at home is too dry, you and your family members might get recurring instances of nosebleeds. You can rectify things by inducing humidity using a humidifier, and save your family from the discomfort of a bleeding nose.
4. It reduces snoring
If you spend sleepless nights because of hubby’s loud snoring, maybe it’s time you invested in a humidifier for the room. It could help in preventing dry throat and reduce the intensity of his snores even if it may not eliminate them altogether.
5. It promotes soft and smooth skin
Dry air is one of the worst enemies of good skin. Thankfully, humidifier use can help promote softer, smoother skin. Place one in your bedroom, turn it on while sleeping and wake up to suppler skin and more moisturised lips over time.
How to use a humidifier
Using a humidifier can be extremely beneficial, but it’s important that you know how to use it. If low humidity in the air is not good, too much isn’t either. It could trigger and aggravate breathing problems in asthmatic patients and cause hair to frizz. Make sure that the level of humidity in the air is neither too high nor too low. According to experts, the ideal level should be between 30 to 50%. With the help of a hygrometer, you can get the exact measure of humidity in the air around you. Most humidifiers these days have a built-in hygrometer.
Get a humidifier from a renowned brand to ensure good quality and safety. With so many benefits of using a humidifier, it is high time that you invest in one for a healthier lifestyle. Read more

How to Throw a Socially Distanced And Memorable Baby Shower
It's impossible to have a baby shower in the conventional sense in the Covid-19 period. Many items must be adjusted, including the number of visitors, the amount of room available, and how food is served, and it can feel uncomfortable. But you get to see your guests and feel a little closer to how things were formulated before the pandemic.With the spike in the cases, it seems impossible to throw a great baby shower party. Still, we have found ways in which you can enjoy a decent baby shower party. Here is some stuff to think about while preparing your socially distant baby shower, based on the guidelines for activities and gatherings. Keep in mind: Check your city and state's Covid-19 laws as well, as we tailor them to your community’s health and safety needs and can be more stringent.Keep a check on the guestsWe recommend that you limit/reduce the number of guests to help reduce the risk of community transmissions of Covid-19. As good as it would be to have anyone on your future guest list in attendance, the expert recommends that you limit/reduce the number of guests to help reduce the risk of community transmissions of Covid-19. If you have a wide family or group of friends, you'll have to narrow it down to only your immediate family or closest friends.However, the department advises that you only invite guests from the same group before sending out your invitations. If you have invitees who live in another city or state, having them attend remotely is the safest choice. To help them join in the game, make a FaceTime/Skype/Zoom call from your phone in the middle of the crowd.Location Even though you won't have as many guests as a traditional baby shower, you'll still need plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Household groups should be at least six feet apart, according to social distancing guidelines, so keep that in mind when deciding where to put your shower.Although guests must be separated, it is appropriate for members of the same household to be close together so that you can assign seating to your guests by household. If at all necessary, have visitors carry their seating (such as lawn chairs).Arrange food and drinks Hand sanitizer, a water faucet/sink, and soap should be the only communal products so that you and your guests don't touch the same stuff all the time. So, do you want to eat and drink family-style or at a buffet? Ignore them. Instead, opt for meals that are individually packaged. Consider school field trip sack lunches: each guest gets a sandwich, bag of chips, cookie, and drink. You may also offer guests the option of selecting their things from a pre-determined list on the invitation. If you're preparing the food yourself (wear a mask, face shield, hair net, and gloves!) or ordering catering, follow food safety protocol.How to make your social distanced party enjoyable?If you're using someone's backyard, have visitors enter through a side or back gate rather than the front door and restrict their time inside to the toilet.Invite visitors to bring their lawn chairs, if at all necessary.Seats should be six feet apart, with families grouped.Serve individually packaged meals and prepare food with gloves, a mask, a hairnet, and a face shield.Include games that allow you to separate yourself from others in a social setting.Get to know the city and state laws, as well as the CDC's recommendations.Guests can be limited to around a dozen people or six households.Make masks a requirement (put that on the invitations)They should keep different masks on hand in case guests forget theirs.Keep the band as much as possible outside.If you can't get outside, make sure your indoor room is big enough for social distancing and clean it thoroughly before and after your shower.GamesGames are frequently one of the most enjoyable aspects of a baby shower, and just because visitors must remain socially distant doesn't mean you can't have any enjoyable activities.Many conventional baby shower games, such as baby gift bingo and these printable games, are ideal for social distancing, and they can also adapt some of our favorite virtual baby shower games for in-person showers. You can play it as long as guests can engage from their specified six-foot-apart areas and do not have to come into physical contact with one another.Conclusion These are the tips you need to follow to enjoy a great baby shower party. With the pandemic going on, the would-be mother might not want to have a baby shower. She might feel that the pandemic ripped off the most beautiful day, but you must make sure that she gets all that she planned about. This will give her endless memories to cherish for a lifetime.
