The child began to get sick more often? He is weak and feels tired and unwell even in the absence of visible reasons for this? Perhaps the cause is the small parasites that have settled in the small intestine and duodenum - Giardia.

Children's immune protection is weaker than in adults. And this factor is very attractive for Giardia. They do not encounter much resistance when attempting to infiltrate the mucous membranes of the small intestine of a baby. Infection with Giardia is quite common in children's groups, every third child can be a carrier of parasites.

ABOUT Giardia and Giardiasis says Dr. Komarovsky:

Giardiasis, namely the so-called painful process, which takes place in the body of a child when Giardia enters it, can be almost imperceptible, and quite noticeable.

As a rule, the disease is accompanied by the following symptoms:

• Abdominal pain, especially pain is often localized in the navel and right hypochondrium.

• Eating Disorders, loss of appetite, refusal to eat.

• Headaches, intoxication symptoms.

Giardiasis perfectly masks some serious diseases of the intestines, stomach and duodenum. Often, it causes the appearance of allergic reactions of different localization - runny nose, dermatosis, dermatitis and even bronchial asthma.

Lyabmili are quite insidious, because, being in the intestine, they regularly stick to and detach from the mucous membrane, thereby injuring it. On such affected areas, various pathogenic microbes are fine. A sick baby gradually develops dysbacteriosis.

The course of treatment with such milk is until complete recovery, which doctors can ascertain by analyzing feces for Giardia cysts.
