Lactose Intolerance

January 30, 2019

People with lactose intolerance cannot digest the sugar (lactose) in milk because they have symptoms after eating or drinking dairy products. This type of intolerance is usually harmless, but its symptoms can be very uncomfortable. This is the result of lacking lactase, which is produced in the small intestine and the symptoms usually begin 30 minutes to two hours after consuming dairy foods. These symptoms include diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal cramps, bloating and gas. However, most people with this problem can manage the condition without having to give up all dairy foods.

Bronchiolitis

January 8, 2019

Bronchiolitis is one of the most common lung diseases in children and babies during winter. It is transmitted through air. Normally, it is caused by a virus that swells the small airways up. It starts out with symptoms similar to those of a common cold, but it is normal to cough, hear a whistling noise when the child breathes out or have some difficulties breathing.

These symptoms last several days, weeks or even a month. For the first few days, it is normal to have a stuffy nose and, in some cases, slight fever. Some children will also have an ear infection.

Tonsillitis: throat inflammations

January 2, 2019

Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, a tissue at the back of the throat. Most cases of tonsillitis are caused by a virus, although it can also be caused by a bacterium.
This inflammation most commonly affects children between preschool ages and mid-teenage years. Surgery to remove tonsils is usually performed only when it occurs frequently.

The most common symptoms of tonsillitis vary from swollen tonsils and sore throat to difficulty when swallowing and fever, although it is also normal to have a scratchy voice, stomach-ache, stiff neck and headache.
