Infections are pretty common in all ages, but kids are the ones that are frequently infected. Since their immune system is underdeveloped, they get easily infected by disease-causing germs and pathogens.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, even though their immune system is developing, these common infections<\/a> can actually boost their immunity.<\/p>\n \nCold, which is pretty common in kids, is a viral infection. The virus that causes Cold, Rhinovirus, can travel up to 12 feet from the infected person when ejected. Highly contagious, adults can get infected up to two times in a year, whereas the kids can get infected up to eight times a year.<\/p>\n Having said that, there is a bleak difference between cold and flu. While cold is just limited to the respiratory tract, flu can influence the entire immune system. You should consult a doctor for a better iteration of the disease. While cold might not cause fever (or even if it does, the fever is mild), flu, on the other hand, leads to high fever.<\/p>\n While it may sound strange, but cold and flu in fact help in boosting the immunity in kids. The white blood cells develop resistance against the pathogens that cause cold and flu. That is the reason over the course of life, people get cold and flu more seldom.\n<\/p>\n \nWhile food poisoning is caused by consumption of contaminated food and water, the pathogens that contaminate these sources are innumerable. Most of these pathogens are bacteria and virus. The exact pathogen responsible for a certain type of food poisoning<\/a> can be determined by laboratory analysis. Food poisoning can cause diarrhea and vomiting along with dehydration, fever, nausea, and stomach aches.<\/p>\n You may argue about how diarrhea and vomiting can help improve your child’s health? While these pathogens release toxins in the body, the body’s immune system responds to these pathogens. Which results in diarrhea and vomiting. And in turn, the body develops immunity against the specific pathogens.<\/p>\n Not just developing the immune system, food poisoning also helps with the removal of toxins from the bowel. As you may know, toxins are produced by the body regularly during the process of digestion. Often traces of these toxins are left stranded in the body.<\/p>\n Although there is a vaccine to induce immunity against cold and flu, that is not the case with food poisoning. Since there are many germs that can cause food poisoning, there is no specific vaccine that can immunize against all of them.\n<\/p>\n\n
