Thermal shock can cause coughing, asthma and even narrowing of the bronchi, making breathing difficult for small
The winter of the Rio Grande do Sul, famous for bringing low temperatures strictly in luggage, decided not to follow the rule in 2012. The abrupt variations in the thermometer has marked the season, and may be the trigger for respiratory diseases, especially in children. The Society of Pediatrics of Rio Grande do Sul directs attention to parents, particularly for symptoms such as cough, secretion, asthma and narrowing of the air conduction pathways, which may be caused by thermal shock.
The main tool in combating the diseases caused in winter is the reduction of risk factors. It is difficult to convince a child to cover his mouth to coughing, blowing your nose or fail to replace the pacifier with my friend, however, it is essential to educate little ones about caring in social behavior. This time of year, it is necessary to avoid cluster environments, which favor the spread of viruses. Moreover, it is advisable to wash your hands often, using alcohol gel, leaving indoors and not come into contact with other sick children.
- At the onset of serious symptoms such as respiratory distress, it is necessary to seek the pediatrician confidence. It is important, as the first option, to avoid seeking the help of hospital emergencies. There are more impaired children in an environment usually crowded, where you can contract other diseases. The ideal is to maintain a pediatric follow-up to guard these moments - guides the coordinator of the Committee of the Society of Pediatric Pulmonology of Rio Grande do Sul, Diego Djones Brandenburg.
The problems caused by viruses are most contagious, especially in environments containing many children, such as childcare and kindergarten. This type of disease is self-limiting, or take some time, it causes fever, but ends cycle without the use of powerful drugs.

The initial symptoms are very similar, so avoid automedicações. The Paediatric Society warns that only the doctor will distinguish between these cases and refer the patient to appropriate treatment.
