Roseola represents infectioncaused by a virus of the herpes family that mainly affects children early age (up to 2 years). In rare cases, the disease occurs in adults of both sexes, in adolescents and children of preschool and school age. Roseola is also called sixth disease, pseudo-rubella, sudden exanthema, children's three day fever , and roseola infantum and exanthema subitum.

General characteristics of the disease

Children's roseola is an independent infectious disease that mainly affects babies in the first two years of life. It is very rare in children over 2 years of age and in adults.

Roseola, as a childhood infectious disease, must be distinguished from the specific dermatological term "roseola". The fact is that in dermatology and venereology, roseola is understood as a certain type rashes on the skin, which can appear with various diseases. So, dermatologists and venereologists define roseola as a small, 1 - 5 mm in diameter, a speck that does not protrude above the skin surface with smooth or blurred edges, painted in pink or red. Infectious disease of roseola is a separate nosology, and not a type of rash on the body. Although the infection got its name precisely due to the fact that it is characterized by rashes on the child's body of the type of roseola. Despite the completely identical names, the type of rash on the body in the form of roseola, and the infectious disease of roseola, should not be confused. This article will focus specifically on the infectious disease of roseola, and not on the type of rash.

So, roseola is one of the most common childhood infections in babies in the first two years of life. Most often, the infection affects children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. During this period of life, from 60 to 70% of children are ill with roseola. And before the age of 4 years, more than 75 - 80% of babies have had this disease. In adults, in 80 - 90% of cases, antibodies to roseola are found in the blood, which means that at some point during their life they have had this infection.

Many people do not even suspect that they once had roseola, because, firstly, in early childhood this diagnosis is made very rarely, and secondly, in children over 3 years old, the disease may be completely asymptomatic, since it has already formed the immune system is able to suppress a relatively weak virus so that it does not cause clinical manifestations.

The infection is characterized by seasonality, the highest incidence rate is recorded in the spring-autumn period. Boys and girls get infected and get sick equally often. After once transferred roseola, antibodies are formed in the blood that protect a person from re-infection throughout his life.

The disease is transmitted by airborne droplets and by contact, that is, it spreads quickly and without hindrance. Presumably, the infectious disease is transmitted to children from the adults around them, who are carriers of the roseola virus. However, the exact mechanism of transmission of the virus has not yet been established.

Roseola has incubation period lasting 5 - 15 days, during which the virus multiplies and there are no clinical manifestations. Symptoms appear only after the end incubation period and lasts about 6 - 10 days.

Causative agent Roseola is a type 6 or 7 herpes virus. Moreover, in 90% of cases, the disease is caused by a type 6 virus, and only in 10% - the causative agent is a type 7 virus. After contact with mucous membranes respiratory tract the virus enters the bloodstream, and during the incubation period multiplies in the lymph nodes, blood, urine and respiratory fluid. After the end of the incubation period, a large number of viral particles enter the systemic circulation, which causes a sharp increase in body temperature. After 2 to 4 days, viruses from the blood penetrate the skin, causing its damage, as a result of which, 10 to 20 hours after the temperature normalizes, a small-point red rash appears throughout the body, which disappears on its own within 5 to 7 days.

Clinical manifestations roseola stage. At the first stage, there is a sharp increase in body temperature to 38 - 40 o C. In addition to high temperature, the child or adult does not have any other clinical manifestations, such as cough, runny nose, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. The fever lasts for 2 to 4 days, after which it disappears without a trace, and the body temperature is completely normalized. After normalization of body temperature, the second stage begins clinical course roseola, on which 10 - 20 hours after the passage of the fever on skin a small punctate, profuse red rash appears. The rash first appears on the face, chest and abdomen, after which the rash covers the entire body for several hours. Simultaneously with the appearance of a rash in a child or an adult, the submandibular lymph nodes may increase. The rash lasts on the body for 1 - 4 days, and gradually disappears. There is no flaking or pigmentation at the site of the rash. Lymph nodes can remain enlarged for a week, after which their size also returns to normal. After the descent of the roseola rash, complete recovery occurs, and antibodies to infection remain in the blood, protecting a person from re-infection throughout his life.

Diagnostics roseola is made on the basis clinical signs... It is necessary to suspect an infection if a child or an adult has a fever against the background of full health and does not stubbornly decrease, and there are no other signs of disease.

Treatment roseola is the same as any acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI). That is, in fact, no special treatment is not required, you only need to provide a person with comfortable conditions, plenty of drink and, if necessary, give antipyretic drugs (Paracetamol, Nimesulide, Ibuprofen, etc.). You do not need to take any antiviral drugs to treat roseola.

During the entire period of fever, up to the appearance of a rash, it is necessary to observe the sick person so as not to miss the appearance of other clinical symptoms that are signs of other serious diseasesalso starting with a high fever, such as, for example, otitis media, infections urinary tract and etc.

The only one complication of roseola there may be febrile seizures in children in response to high fever. Therefore, with roseola, it is recommended to give children antipyretic drugs without fail if the body temperature is more than 38.5 o C.

Prevention roseola does not exist, because, in principle, it is not needed. This infectious disease is mild, and therefore it is unreasonable to spend considerable efforts and funds on its prevention.

Why is roseola rarely diagnosed?

Roseola is a fairly widespread infectious disease in young children, however, despite this epidemiological fact, in practice there is a paradoxical situation when the diagnosis " sudden exanthema"It is practically not exhibited by pediatricians. That is, children are sick with roseola, but they are not given a corresponding diagnosis.

This paradoxical situation is due to two main reasons - the peculiarities of the course of roseola and the specifics medical education, received in the universities of the CIS countries.

So, the onset of roseola is characterized by a sharp increase in body temperature and symptoms of malaise accompanying fever, such as lethargy, drowsiness, lack of appetite, etc. In addition to high body temperature, nothing bothers the child - there is no rhinitis (snot), no cough, no sneezing, no redness of the throat, no diarrhea, no vomiting, or any other additional symptoms characteristic of viral infections or food poisoning. After 2 - 5 days, the unexplained temperature subsides, and another 10 - 20 hours after the child's seemingly recovery, a small red rash appears on his body. Such a rash lasts 5 - 7 days, after which it disappears without a trace, and the child recovers completely.

Naturally, the presence of a high body temperature, which usually lasts 2 to 4 days, makes parents and pediatricians suspect an acute viral infection in the child or even a reaction to something. That is, an increased body temperature without any other signs of an acute viral respiratory infection or any other disease is often perceived by parents and pediatricians as an inexplicable and incomprehensible phenomenon that, of course, needs to be treated. As a result, despite the absence of other signs of acute respiratory viral infections, an incomprehensible increase in temperature is interpreted as a viral infection that is atypical, and the child is prescribed appropriate treatment. Naturally, the child is "treated" with drugs, and when, 10 - 20 hours after the normalization of body temperature, he develops a rash, it is simply considered as a reaction to drugs.

The diagnosis of roseola in such situations, as a rule, is not even suspected by pediatricians, but not because their qualifications are low or the doctors are poor, but because of the existing system of medical education. The fact is that in almost all medical universities, future doctors at all stages of training are never "introduced" to this infection. That is, in the training system, future doctors were shown children with various diseases, they learned to recognize and treat them, but never saw roseola! Accordingly, in the head of the future doctor there is no clear picture of this infection, and he simply does not see it, looking at a sick child, since he was never shown roseola in class.

Naturally, in textbooks on pediatrics, students read about roseola and even answered questions about it in exams, but this infection, never seen with their own eyes during the years of study at a medical institute and internship, remains a kind of "wonder" for a doctor. Accordingly, since in reality no one has ever shown roseola to the students, the theoretical material about this disease after a while is simply forgotten due to lack of demand, as a result of which the infection is not diagnosed and continues to disguise itself as an atypical ARVI.

Another reason for not recognizing roseola is its, relatively speaking, safety. The fact is that this infection does not cause complications, proceeds easily and quickly ends with a full recovery (usually within 6-7 days) of a child or an adult. Roseola does not require any special treatment - this disease, like a common respiratory viral infection, goes away on its own and does not cause complications. The only therapeutic measures that can be taken in this situation are symptomatic treatment aimed at eliminating the painful manifestations of the infection and alleviating the child's condition. Accordingly, even if roseola is not detected, nothing terrible will happen, since the child will simply recover on his own, and an episode of an inexplicable increase in temperature followed by the appearance of a red, small-spotted rash will simply be forgotten. This means that undiagnosed roseola will not result in any formidable or serious complications for the child. And such a mild course of the disease with no risk of complications does not force doctors to be alert and vigilant about roseola, because skipping this infection will not result in serious consequences for the child.

Roseola reasons

Roseola is caused by human herpesvirus type 6 or 7. In 90% of cases, the infectious disease is caused by the herpes virus type 6 and in 10% - by the type 7 virus. The initial entry of the virus into the human body causes roseola, after which antibodies remain in the blood that protect against reinfection throughout life.

What virus causes roseola?

Roseola is caused by human herpesvirus type 6 or 7. The specific virus that provokes an infectious disease was identified in 1986. Until that moment, the exact causative agent of roseola was unknown. Human herpesvirus types 6 and 7 are members of the genus Roseolovirus, and belong to the beta-Herpesvirus subfamily.

When the virus was isolated in 1986, it was named human B-lymphotropic virus (HBLV) because it was found in the B-lymphocytes of people with HIV infection. But later, after clarifying its exact structure, the virus was renamed and attributed to the herpes family.

Currently, two variants of human herpesvirus type 6 are known - they are HHV-6A and HHV-6B. These types of the virus differ from each other quite significantly in various parameters, such as prevalence, transmission, caused by clinical symptoms etc. So, roseola is caused only by the variety HHV-6B.

Ways of transmission

The human herpes virus type 6 or 7 is transmitted by airborne droplets and by contact. Moreover, it is assumed that the virus is transmitted not necessarily from a sick person, but also from a carrier. And this means that literally every adult can be a source of infection, since 80 - 90% of people by the age of 20 have antibodies in their blood, indicating that they had had roseola in the past.

After a person has suffered roseola, antibodies remain in his blood that protect him from re-infection, and the virus itself remains in an inactive state in the tissues. That is, after an episode of roseola, a person becomes a lifelong carrier of the herpes virus type 6 or 7. As a result, the virus can periodically become active and be released with biological fluids (saliva, urine, etc.) into the external environment. The activation of the virus does not cause a repeated disease with roseola - there are antibodies in the blood that suppress its action, as a result of which the pathogenic microorganism can only be released into the external environment in small quantities. It is at such moments that a person can become a source of infection for the young children around him.

And since the periods of activation of the virus do not show any clinical symptoms, it is not possible to recognize potentially dangerous adults. As a result, the child is literally surrounded by adults, in different time are the sources of the roseola virus. That is why babies become infected with the herpesvirus type 6 or 7, and get sick with roseola already in the first two years of life.

Is roseola contagious?

There is currently no exact data on whether roseola is contagious. However, scientists suggest that a sick child is still infectious to the other young children around him who have not yet had roseola, since the virus is present in his biological fluids. Therefore, it is recommended that a child with roseola be isolated from other children, although this measure will not protect them from infection, since any adult carrier of the virus can become the source of the virus for them.

Incubation period

The incubation period of roseola lasts from 5 to 15 days. At this time, the virus multiplies in the tissues of the human body, after which it enters the systemic circulation and causes the first stage of clinical manifestations - high temperature.

Symptoms

General characteristics of the symptoms of roseola

Roseola has a two-stage course. Accordingly, each stage is characterized by certain clinical symptoms.

First step (onset) of the disease is characterized by a sharp increase in body temperature to at least 38.0 o C. The temperature can rise to high values, up to 40.0 o C. On average, with roseola, a temperature of 39.7 o C. is recorded. At the same time, fever provokes symptoms intoxication, such as irritability, drowsiness, lethargy, tearfulness, lack of appetite and apathy, which are not independent symptoms, but only a consequence of a high body temperature in a child or adult.

At the first stage of roseola, in most cases, a person does not have any other clinical symptoms, except for a high, persistent temperature. However, in more rare cases, in addition to a fever, a child or adult may experience the following symptoms:

• Enlargement of the cervical and occipital lymph nodes;
• Swelling and redness of the eyelids;
• Swelling of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat;
• Redness of the throat and sore throat;
• A small amount of mucous snot;
• A rash in the form of small blisters and red spots on the mucous membrane of the soft palate and uvula (Nagayama spots).

The increased body temperature lasts for 2 - 4 days, after which it drops sharply to normal values. When the temperature drops to normal, the first stage of roseola ends and the second stage of the disease begins.

In the second stage, in 5 - 24 hours after the temperature normalizes or simultaneously with its decrease, a rash appears on the body. In very rare cases, the rash appears before the temperature drops, but in such situations, the fever always stops soon after the formation of the rash. The rashes are small specks and bubbles with a diameter of 1 - 5 mm with irregular edges, round or irregular in shape, colored in various shades of pink and red. When pressed on the elements of the rash, they become pale, but after the cessation of exposure, they return to their original color. Elements of the rash almost never merge, do not itch or flake off. The skin under the rash is unchanged, there is no puffiness, peeling, etc. The rash with roseola is not contagious, therefore, you can contact a person suffering from the disease.

The rash usually first appears on the trunk and very quickly, within 1 to 2 hours, spreads to the entire body - to the face, neck, arms and legs. Further, the rash persists for 2 to 5 days, after which it gradually turns pale and completely disappears 2 to 7 days after appearance. As a rule, the rashes disappear without a trace, in the former places of their localization there are no pigmented spots or peeling. But in rare cases, a slight reddening of the skin may remain at the site of the rash after their descent, which soon disappears on its own. At this, the second stage of roseola is completed and full recovery occurs.

In addition, during the period of the appearance of rashes, the body does not decrease in size the lymph nodes, which were increased at the first stage of the roseola flow. Typically, lymph nodes take normal sizes by 7 - 9 days after the onset of the disease.

The classic course of roseola in two stages is usually observed in young children under the age of 2 to 3 years. Above the age of 3, roseola tends to be atypical. The most common atypical variant of the course of roseola is a sharp increase in body temperature without any other symptoms, which returns to normal after 2 to 4 days, and rashes on the body do not appear. Also atypical is a variant of the course of roseola, in which there are no clinical symptoms at all, with the exception of lethargy and drowsiness for 2 to 4 days.

Roseola usually does not cause complications in children or adults, if their immune system is not affected by any disease. The only complication of roseola in such cases is convulsions in response to high body temperature in children or adults. But if a child or adult is immunocompromised (for example, HIV-infected people taking immunosuppressants after organ transplantation), then roseola can be complicated by meningitis or encephalitis.

After the transferred roseola, antibodies to the virus remain in the blood, which protect a person for the rest of his life from re-infection. In addition, after roseola, the herpesvirus type 6 is not removed from the body, like other viruses of the herpes family, but remains inactive in the tissues for the rest of its life. That is, a person who once had roseola becomes a lifelong virus carrier. Such a virus carrier should not be feared, since it is not dangerous and represents exactly the same situation as the carrier of the herpes simplex virus.

Roseola temperature

An increase in body temperature with roseola always occurs, except in cases of asymptomatic infection. Moreover, roseola begins precisely with an inexplicable sharp increase in body temperature against the background of the absence of any other symptoms.

Typically, the temperature rises to high and very high values - from 38.0 to 41.2 o C. The most often observed fever in the range of 39.5 to 39.7 o C. Moreover, the younger the sick person, the lower his temperature with roseola. That is, babies carry the infection at a lower temperature than adults. In the morning hours, body temperature is usually slightly lower than in the afternoon and evening.

Self-diagnosis of the disease is possible only after the appearance of a rash. During this period, to distinguish roseola from other diseases, you need to press on the spots with your finger for 15 seconds. If, after pressing, the stain turns pale, then the person has roseola. If the spot does not become paler after pressing on it, then the person has some other disease.

The roseola rash is very similar to that of rubella, which is the reason for the misdiagnosis. In fact, it is very simple to distinguish rubella from roseola: with rubella, a rash appears at the very beginning of the disease, and with roseola - only for 2 to 4 days.

Treatment

General principles of roseola treatment

Roseola, like other acute respiratory viral infections, does not require any specific treatment, since it disappears by itself within 5 to 7 days. In fact, the main treatment for roseola is to provide the patient with a comfortable environment, plenty of fluids, and light food. This means that a person with roseola should be given plenty of fluids. At the same time, you can drink any drinks (with the exception of carbonated water and coffee) that a person likes more, for example, juices, fruit drinks, compotes, weak tea, milk, etc. The room in which the patient is located must be regularly ventilated (15 minutes every hour) and the air temperature must be maintained in it no higher than 22 o C. Clothes on the patient should not be too warm so that the body can give off excess heat from the temperature to the external environment and do not overheat even more. It is recommended to stay at home for a period of high temperature, and after its normalization, from the moment the rash appears, you can go for walks.

If the high temperature is poorly tolerated, then antipyretic drugs can be taken. It is optimal for children to give drugs based on paracetamol (Panadol, Paracetamol, Tylenol, etc.), and if they are not effective, then use drugs with ibuprofen (Ibufen, etc.). In extreme cases, if the child does not tolerate the temperature well, and drugs with ibuprofen do not help to lower it, you can give drugs with nimesulide (Nimesil, Nimesulide, Nise, etc.). For adults, the optimal antipyretic agent is acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin), and in case of its ineffectiveness, drugs with nimesulide.

It is recommended to take antipyretics with roseola only if the high temperature is extremely poorly tolerated or there is a high risk of febrile seizures. In other cases, it is better to refrain from taking antipyretic drugs, because, firstly, they are not very effective in roseola, and secondly, they create an additional burden on the body.

The roseola rash does not itch or itch, it goes away on its own, so it does not need to be lubricated with any medicines, creams, ointments, lotions or solutions either in children or adults.

Treatment of roseola in children

The principles of treating roseola in children are the same as in adults. That is, you do not need to use any special medications, it is enough to water the child abundantly, keep the temperature from 18 to 22 o C in the room where he is, regularly ventilate him (for 15 minutes every hour) and do not dress the baby warmly. Remember that clothes that are too warm will overheat and increase your body temperature even further. For a period of high temperature, the child should be left at home, and after its normalization and the appearance of a rash, you can go for walks.

If the child tolerates the temperature normally, is active, plays, does not act up or sleeps, then it is not necessary to bring it down with the help of antipyretic drugs. The only situation when you need to bring down the temperature with roseola with the help of antipyretics is the development of febrile seizures in a child. In other cases, to reduce the temperature, you can bathe the child in warm water (29.5 o C).

Convulsions against a background of high temperature scare parents, but in fact, as a rule, they are not dangerous, since they are not associated with long-term side effects and damage to structures of the central nervous system. If a child has febrile seizures against the background of roseola, then, first of all, one should not panic, but calm down and help the baby survive this moment. To do this, free the child's neck from clothing, remove all sharp, stabbing and dangerous objects from the area where the baby is lying, and turn him over on either side. Also remove all objects from the baby's mouth. Try to calm your baby so that he is not afraid. Place a pillow or roller made of any fabrics (clothes, bedding, etc.) under the child's head and gently hold the baby so that he does not fall until the cramps end. After the seizures, the child may be drowsy, which is normal, so put him to bed, give him a drink and an antipyretic drug. Then put the baby to bed. After an episode of seizures, be sure to call your pediatrician home to see your child for any previously undiagnosed medical conditions.

For children, the optimal antipyretic drugs are drugs with paracetamol (Tylenol, Panadol, etc.), therefore, these drugs should be given to babies in the first place to reduce the temperature. If the medicine with paracetamol does not help, then the child should be given the medicine with ibuprofen (Ibufen, Ibuklin, etc.). And only if the temperature is very high, and neither paracetamol nor ibuprofen helped to lower it, can the child be given a remedy with nimesulide (Nise, Nimesil, etc.). To lower the temperature, children under 15 years of age should never be given Aspirin and other medicines containing acetylsalicylic acid, as this can cause the development of Reye's syndrome.

Roseola rashes do not need to be lubricated with anything, since they do not bother the child, do not itch, do not itch and do not cause discomfort. You can bathe your baby against the background of rashes, but only in warm water and without using a washcloth.

Is it possible to walk with roseola?

With roseola, you can walk after the body temperature has returned to normal. During a period of high temperature, it is impossible to walk, but at the stage of the appearance of rashes, it is possible, because, firstly, they are not infectious for other children, and secondly, the child already feels normal, and the disease has practically passed.

After roseola

After once transferred roseola, a person develops immunity that protects him from re-infection throughout his life. Rashes and fever disappear without a trace and do not leave any complications, therefore, after roseola, you can and should lead a normal life, equating an episode of this disease with any other ARVI that a person suffers many times during his life.

Before use, you must consult a specialist.

Antibacterial drugs are widely and successfully used today to treat a variety of infections that were considered fatal a few decades ago. Antibiotics cope with tuberculosis, pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and many other dangerous diseases, however, the harm that these powerful drugs cause to the body is quite great.

First, the beneficial intestinal microflora is simultaneously destroyed, causing digestive disorders. Secondly, the decay products of drugs negatively affect the liver, making it difficult for it to work and increasing the concentration of toxins in the blood. Therefore, if a course of antibiotic therapy is necessary, you need to know how to remove antibiotics from the body after treatment. An understanding of what happens to the internal organs under the influence of these drugs will help to restore health correctly and quickly.

Antibacterial agents suppress the vital activity of pathogens infectious diseases or destroy them. The bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity of these compounds allows you to quickly cure a dangerous disease and avoid possible complications.

However, with antibiotic therapy, it is possible to develop side effects.

The digestive organs (especially the intestines) and the liver are most affected by the treatment. In addition, resistance to infections decreases and various allergic reactions occur.

Effects on the liver

Being a kind of highly effective biological filter, this organ utilizes toxic substances and promotes their elimination from the body. Normally, hepatocytes successfully cope with filtration and purification of blood. However, an increase in the amount of toxins (for example, when addicted to alcohol or taking medications), liver cells are destroyed.

In this case, harmful substances accumulate in the blood and internal organs... Antibiotics are especially dangerous, long-term use of which leads to massive death of hepatocytes (they are replaced by connective tissue) and, accordingly, cirrhosis. In addition, the outflow of bile and the digestion of food is hampered.

Effect on the intestines

In addition to digestive disorders associated with problems with the secretion and outflow of bile, dysbiosis usually develops. This is due to the death of the intestinal microflora, which ensures the breakdown and absorption of food. Antibacterial drugs do not distinguish between good and bad bacteria, so bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea are common consequences of treating infectious diseases. As a result, a huge amount of toxins accumulates in the body, and the patient complains of a significant deterioration in well-being.

Methods for cleaning the body and restoring microflora

Seeing a doctor is the main condition for successful recovery, since it is possible to cleanse the body of antibiotics after a course of treatment correctly and effectively only under the supervision of a specialist.

Self-prescribing drugs or using methods of alternative medicine, you can harm the body even more. A competent attending physician will select the optimal scheme drug therapy and will recommend the safest folk recipes... He will also explain the importance of following a diet during the recovery phase.

Nutrition

Long-term use of antibiotics disrupts metabolism and reduces absorption nutrients... In addition, during the recovery period, you need to reduce the load on the digestive system and give up some foods. First of all, alcohol should be completely excluded from consumption, which in themselves are detrimental to the liver and intestinal microflora.

You should also adjust the diet and change the diet. You need to eat in small portions, but quite often, and prepare by stewing, baking and steaming. During this period, fermented foods such as sauerkraut and fermented milk products are very useful. The lacto- and bifidobacteria contained in them are the basis of the natural intestinal microflora.

Fresh raw vegetables and fruits will help replenish vitamin stores and cleanse the body of toxic substances thanks to fiber. These plant fibers have the ability to absorb harmful compounds and remove them to the outside. It is also recommended to drink more freshly squeezed

dyed fruit and vegetable juices.

Protein is also needed by a weakened body, but it should be obtained from lean meat or fish, since fatty foods at this stage are detrimental to the liver. In addition, fried and smoked foods, as well as various marinades, pickles and spicy dishes are prohibited. To quickly remove toxins, you need to drink plenty of water (preferably mineral water without gas) and herbal tea.

Medicines

Cleansing the body begins with the intake of sorbents that bind and remove toxic substances. Can be taken daily activated carbon after a course of antibiotics or its analogues. So, in order to cleanse and restore the functions of internal organs, the doctor usually prescribes:

• Enterosorbents - both organic and mineral. The first include drugs based on charcoal (activated carbon, Polyphepan ®, Filtrum-Sti ® and others). Mineral products such as Eneterosgel ® and Polysorba ® help to cleanse the body just as effectively.
• Probiotics contribute to the restoration of intestinal microflora, since they contain bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in huge doses. Most often, Linex ®, Bifidumbacterin ® and other drugs of this group are used to eliminate dysbiosis.
• Hepatoprotectors are essential for the liver. Such medicines, like Essentiale ®, Gepabene ® and others, made on the basis of plant and animal raw materials, promote the regeneration of hepatocytes. As a result, the organ fully restores its functions.

In addition, it is necessary to take high-quality vitamin complexes. Especially useful are drugs that have a proven antioxidant effect. When purchasing a product, pay attention to the dosage of ascorbic acid, B-group vitamins, as well as fat-soluble A and E. It is they who are responsible for strengthening the immune system and fighting free radicals.

How can antibiotics be removed from the body with folk remedies

Alternative medicine recipes can be a significant help in cleansing and restoring the body after a course of antibiotic therapy. However, before using them, it is imperative to obtain the approval of the attending physician.

Despite the fact that natural ingredients are used for treatment, individual intolerance or non-compliance with the dosage and dosage regimen can worsen the state of health.

• You can cleanse the intestines and optimize its work with a very simple tool: drink a glass of warm boiled water every morning on an empty stomach. It is advisable to make this simple "ritual" a permanent habit, since its benefits for digestive system undoubted. The stomach and intestines begin to function without interruption, and chronic diseases pass.
• The decay products of antibiotics (salts) that accumulate in the body are good for the drink with honey and apple cider vinegar (a tablespoon per glass of water). This tool is accepted similarly to the previous one.
• Dysbacteriosis in folk medicine is treated with fermented milk products, cabbage brine, and also with the help of a special drink. To prepare it, you will need a teaspoon of chopped garlic, onions, St. John's wort, chamomile and a few sprigs of dill. All this is poured with 2 glasses of yogurt or sour milk and boiled water is brought to a liter. After insisting for an hour, drink in small portions throughout the day.

Vitamin teas made from rose hips, nettles, and bird knotweed are also useful. You can buy them at the pharmacy or prepare the plants yourself, and take them in accordance with the doctor's recommendations.

Komarovsky, about children, but this applies to everyone in general:

Additional methods

Spa treatment is excellent for both recovering the body after a long intake of antibiotics, and improving health in general. Physiotherapy such as plasmapheresis, balneotherapy, massage help cleanse and restore at the cellular level. Especially effective are special mineral waters that bind harmful salts and enhance the regeneration of hepatocytes.

Preventive measures

It is much easier to prevent the negative consequences of antibiotic therapy than to treat dysbiosis later and restore the liver. Even at the stage of prescribing an antibacterial agent, it is imperative to check with the doctor about the presence and severity of side effects. A competent specialist will definitely select the least toxic drug and give recommendations for prevention. Even if the recipe contains an expensive product, you shouldn't try to save money and buy a cheaper generic. Most likely, you will have to spend even more to restore health.

Taking hepatoprotectors in the process of treating an infection will also help to minimize the negative effects of antibiotics on the body. Appropriate drugs will reliably protect liver cells and help to better cope with the neutralization of toxins. It is also advisable to take antioxidant vitamin complexes and drink plenty of water, since large volumes of liquid contribute to the rapid removal of decay products from the body. By following these recommendations and doctor's prescriptions, you can significantly reduce the risk of developing side effects during antibiotic treatment.

Since the discovery of the first antibiotic (penicillin) by the British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming, mankind has received a powerful weapon capable of effectively fighting many diseases. However, this drug also causes considerable harm to the body. Therefore, it is useful to know about the ways in which you can remove the antibiotic after treatment.

Description of the problem: how long do antibiotics take and why take them out

Antibacterial drugs work exactly where needed - in bone tissue, lungs, middle ear, bladder etc. Having done their job, antibiotics leave the body, excreted in the urine, and in some cases - with bile. Most often, the withdrawal period of drugs is 1 to 3 days.

Medicines leave behind toxic substances that accumulate in the liver and kidneys. Some antibacterial drugs cause a strong allergic reaction. There are those that reduce visual acuity, cause nausea, vomiting, hallucinations. Long-term use of any type of antibiotic contributes to the development of dysbiosis, destroying the beneficial intestinal microflora, which is not only responsible for the complete digestion of food, but also maintains immunity.

It is impossible to precisely name the period during which the body can fully recover after antibiotic therapy. It depends on the duration of taking the drug, the age of the person and the disease for the treatment of which the drug was prescribed.

It is impractical to accelerate the elimination of the drug from the body, since it needs to be given the opportunity to complete its task, but it is possible to eliminate the consequences of taking antibiotics. Thus, the expression "accelerating the elimination of antibiotics from the body" means the elimination of negative consequences antibacterial therapy.

It doesn't matter which of the many types of antibiotics you take. It is necessary to help the body recover after treatment with any of them.

Rebuilding the body with medication

A frequent consequence of antibiotic therapy is intestinal dysbiosis, which may be indicated by discomfort and abdominal pain, flatulence, indigestion, headache and fatigue. To restore the intestinal microflora, it is enough to undergo a course of treatment with drugs containing lactobacilli (probiotics) - Linex, Hilak Forte, Bifiform. In difficult cases, prebiotics are prescribed - preparations containing special carbohydrates that are used by beneficial microorganisms, for example.

Also, sometimes after treatment with antibiotics, fungal infections mucous membranes, since the fungus begins to multiply actively from the action of the drug. The most common occurrence of the so-called thrush is a type of candidiasis, the places of localization of which are the oral cavity and vagina. In this case, drugs such as Nystatin and Fluconazole are used. They come in the form of tablets, suppositories or ointments.

Another important aspect of eliminating the consequences of taking antibiotics is liver restoration. Problems in the work of this organ after taking medications signal the following symptoms: heaviness in the right hypochondrium, nausea, heightened reaction to smell and taste, bitterness in the mouth, discoloration of urine and feces. In this case, it is recommended to take hepatoprotective drugs - Karsil, Gepabene, Essentiale and so on. They stimulate the process of repairing damaged membranes of liver cells and protect them from the negative effects of toxic substances. These properties of hepatoprotectors also determine the advisability of taking them directly during the course of antibiotic treatment.

Pain in the right hypochondrium may be a symptom of a liver disorder after taking antibiotics

In order to restore the shaken immunity, a course of treatment with the use of immunomodulators - Immunal, Anaferon, IRS and others is recommended. For general strengthening of the body, it is useful to take vitamin complexes such as Revit and Decamevit.

To get rid of an allergy to antibiotics, there is only one way - to change the drug. Taking antihistamines will not give the desired effect.

In some cases, antibiotics destroy red blood cells. To restore the level of hemoglobin, it is recommended to take iron-containing drugs - Feroglobin, Tardiferon, etc.

Using folk remedies

Features of the recovery of the child's body

It is important to ensure that your child is drinking enough fluids.

When restoring a child's body, adults face the same tasks: removing toxins, restoring intestinal microflora, and increasing the level of immunity.

Try to give your child to drink as much liquid as possible so that harmful substances are removed faster. It's good if the baby uses rosehip decoction and freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices - this will help replenish the body essential vitamins... To increase immunity, children are usually recommended children's Anaferon.

After treatment with antibiotics, a child often develops candidiasis in the mouth. In order to get rid of this ailment, it is necessary to prepare a solution of baking soda (1 teaspoon per glass of chilled boiled water) and wipe the oral cavity with a gauze swab dipped in this liquid until the plaque on the mucous membrane disappears.

As for using recipes traditional medicine to restore the child's body, then you cannot do without consulting a doctor, since some herbal remedies have a strong effect (for example, milk thistle).

Nutrition after antibiotic therapy

The diet should be designed in such a way as to ensure:

• the soonest release of the body from toxins;
• sparing attitude to the liver for its effective recovery;
• regular bowel emptying to restore beneficial bacterial flora;
• the presence in the menu of products containing vitamins and lactobacilli.

It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits containing fiber and vitamins - bananas, apples, peaches, citrus fruits, a variety of berries. In addition, it is necessary to include in the menu fermented milk products with live lactobacilli - yoghurts, kefir, and so on. It is supposed to eat lean meats - rabbit, chicken, turkey, veal. It is better to boil them or steam them. For a while, it is necessary to exclude fried, spicy, spicy dishes from the diet.

For regular cleaning of the intestines and the normalization of its microflora, oatmeal is recommended as breakfast. It is also important to observe the drinking regimen: you need to consume at least 1.5-2 liters of liquid daily. It can be table mineral water, fruit and vegetable juices, teas. Especially useful are, for example, orange, apple and peach juices with a high content of ascorbic acid.

How to remove antibiotics from edible meat

It is no secret that antibiotics are also used in the treatment of animals. To remove drug residues that may be contained in meat, it is recommended to take the following measures:

• drain the broth after cooking for half an hour;
• before cooking, soak the meat in salted or mineral water for several hours;
• do not cook offal dishes;
• use skinless poultry.

Antibiotic therapy is a certain stress for the body, but much more harm will be from the absence of such treatment. To mitigate the consequences, it is necessary to use the methods intended for this. Their use will not only help to remove the remaining toxic substances, but also have a beneficial effect on health in general.

Antibiotics are highly effective drugs that help to cope with the most difficult and dangerous infections bacterial nature. Antimicrobial drugs can quickly eliminate bacterial inflammation and reduce the risk of complications.

However, taking potent drugs is almost always accompanied by the manifestation of side effects of varying severity. Some of them disappear after discontinuation of the drug, while others require thorough treatment.

Such negative phenomena arise due to the diverse toxic effects of drugs on the body. The degree of severity and reversibility directly depends on both the patient's health status and the characteristics of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the drug itself. Antimicrobial agents are divided into several groups, some of which are less dangerous in terms of side effects, while others often cause various complications from treatment. Most often develop:

• Dyspepsia and intestinal dysbiosis - various digestive disorders associated with the negative effect of drugs on the internal organs and intestinal microflora (for example, constipation or diarrhea after antibiotics, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, etc.).
• Violations nervous activity due to the toxic effects of the drug on the central nervous system.
• Allergic reactions are a natural result hypersensitivity to the components of the medicinal product. The severity ranges from mild skin rashes to life-threatening anaphylactic shock.
• Superinfection is a rarer phenomenon due to a change in the balance of natural microflora and a decrease in immunity.
• Thrush - develops due to the increased reproduction of fungi of the genus Candida.

Is it possible to prevent or reduce the harmful effects of UPS?

Yes, if you strictly follow the rules and regimen of medication, do not self-medicate, additionally take vitamin complexes and probiotics. Typically, these simple measures speed up recovery and protect the body from the negative effects of medication.

Possible consequences of taking antibiotics

They are very diverse, and sometimes even an experienced doctor is not able to predict how the patient's body will react to a particular drug. Generally healthy peoplewho rarely get sick and have strong immunity, much less often complain of side effects.

If the defenses are weakened, especially with the frequent use of antibiotics, then the reaction can be very strong. The risk group also includes children whose immune system is not yet fully formed, elderly people, as well as those with a history of chronic diseases. What are the consequences of antibiotic therapy?

Stomatitis after antibiotics

This disease is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity with the development of redness, swelling and ulceration. Antibacterial agents, especially those taken for a long time, change the composition of the natural microflora in the mouth and negatively affect the condition immune system... As a result, the mucous membrane becomes very vulnerable to pathogenic microorganisms: fungi, viruses and bacteria, without encountering obstacles, begin to multiply actively, causing inflammation and ulceration, especially often in young children.

The disease is accompanied by severe painful sensations in the process of talking or eating, itching and burning, less often - an increase in temperature.

This condition requires immediate treatment in the form of taking fungicidal, antibacterial or antiviral agentsas well as symptomatic therapy to reduce swelling and pain. Only the attending physician can choose the right drugs, and self-medication in this case will only aggravate the condition.

The appearance of plaque in the language

As you know, the state of this organ often makes it possible to judge about any disorders in the body. Normally, it is pink, moist, without cracks, but pathological processes can cause the following changes:

• a white coating on the tongue after taking antibiotics indicates an imbalance of the natural microflora and the reproduction of the Candida fungus. Oral candidiasis is accompanied by itching, burning; when trying to remove whitish deposits mechanically, the mucous membrane bleeds. Treatment in this case is carried out with the help of fungicidal preparations taken by mouth (, drugs based on), vitamins and antiseptic treatment of the mouth.
• A brown tongue after taking antibiotics signals dysfunction of the liver or the digestive system as a whole. Plaque of this color is a consequence of hepatitis, cholecystitis, peptic ulcer, colitis and dysbiosis. Running candidiasis can also cause darkening. Treatment is prescribed in accordance with the tests and results of a medical examination.
• Red tongue from taking antibiotics, especially if redness is localized around the edges and in the center - a sign of an allergic reaction. In this case, it is often accompanied by other characteristic external manifestations (skin rash, edema, itching). It is eliminated by canceling the drug or replacing it with a less toxic one.

Any change in the color of the tongue or the appearance of plaque on it is a reason for contacting a doctor.

Only a specialist will be able to reliably determine the cause of the phenomenon and prescribe the appropriate therapy.

Superinfection

This term refers to an increase in the number of resistant pathogens against the background of antibiotic therapy for another infection. Superinfection after antibiotics is a fairly common occurrence, since the drug used destroys microorganisms indiscriminately, disrupting the balance of microflora. As a result, some groups of pathogens that are immune to the drug used and are no longer restrained by beneficial symbiont bacteria begin to actively multiply - in this case, endogenous superinfection (such as candidiasis) takes place.

If the organism, weakened by antibiotic therapy, is attacked from the outside, we are talking about exogenous superinfection, which is usually called a complication. Treatment is carried out in accordance with the results of bacterial culture using antimicrobial agents appropriate to the diagnosis.

Hair loss after antibiotics

It should be borne in mind that antimicrobial drugs do not directly affect the condition of the hairline. However, cases of alopecia with antibiotic therapy or after it are sometimes recorded, which makes it possible to judge the presence of an indirect relationship.

Indirect causes of hair loss can be:

• general stress state of the body during the period of illness, which is characteristic not only for bacterial infections;
• dysbiosis and associated vitamin deficiency and decreased immunity, as a result of which the hair follicles do not receive sufficient nutrition and die;
• violation of the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the intestines due to dysbiosis;
• superinfection (eg, fungal) that affects hairy part heads in women, men and children.

Supportive therapy with antibiotic treatment will help prevent baldness. It is recommended to take vitamin complexes, since dysbiosis leads to a deficiency of B-group vitamins synthesized in the intestine, as well as pre- and probiotics.

Stool disorders: what to do with constipation after antibiotics

One of the most common side effects of taking antibiotics is antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In severe cases, severe diarrhea may develop up to 10-15 times a day.

Constipation is also possible. With an appropriate diet and taking probiotics, it quickly resolves, but if defecation is still difficult 5-7 days after the end of treatment, serious complications after taking antibiotics are likely. This condition requires a visit to a doctor to diagnose the cause and take appropriate action. Avoiding Digestive Problems and Constipation Will Help proper nutrition both during and after treatment with ABP.

The diet should consist mainly of vegetables, fruits, fermented milk products, lean meat. "Heavy" fried, salty and spicy foods, as well as sources of fast carbohydrates should be excluded for a while. In addition, drinking plenty of fluids and taking probiotics are required.

Discharge after antibiotics in women

The fair sex often complains about the appearance of various secretions after antibiotic therapy. This phenomenon is due to dysbiosis, which affects not only the intestines, but also the vagina, where it has its own natural microflora. Most often, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents provoke candidiasis, accompanied by discomfort in the genital area and characteristic cheesy discharge. white... In this case, the gynecologist prescribes oral medications such as Fluconazole® or suppositories (tablets) for topical use.

Less commonly, other pathogens may become active. Development of colpitis, ureaplasmosis and other vaginitis is likely. If after taking antimicrobial drugs, any pathological discharge unusual color (normally they are transparent), with or without an unpleasant odor, as well as itching, burning and pain, you should immediately contact your gynecologist. The doctor will prescribe bacteriological examination and appropriate treatment.

Other consequences

Other side effects of antibiotics may also occur as a response different systems organism. Often, patients complain of headaches, sleep problems, nervousness, depression, which is associated with the negative effect of drugs on nervous system... Ototoxic antibiotics (aminoglycosides, for example), which negatively affect the vestibular drug and auditory nerves, are especially dangerous.

Allergic reactions of varying severity often occur, especially with self-medication or carelessness of the doctor. We must not forget about the teratogenic effect of some antibiotics on the fetus, which requires a particularly careful approach to the treatment of bacterial infections in pregnant women. Damage is likely to occur with fluoroquinolones connective tissue (tendons), which must also be taken into account when prescribing. Sometimes renal and hepatic dysfunction also develop due to the increased load on these organs during therapy.

If antibiotics don't work

It happens that antimicrobial drugs are powerless against infection. With what it can be connected? There are several probable reasons, and each of them requires separate consideration:

• - immunity of the causative agent to the drug. It is associated with both the wrong choice of medication and the formation of addiction. That is, with frequent use of the same drug, pathogens become resistant. To cure such an infection, you will need to do a bacterial culture to identify a specific strain.
• Self-medication is the most common reason, since it is impossible to choose the right medicine without special education and access to diagnostic tools. Besides the absence therapeutic effect, such "independence" is fraught with superinfections and complications.

Today, antibiotic treatment is indispensable, but it is possible to reduce the risk of their harmful effects on the body. To do this, you need to consult a competent doctor for advice, do not self-medicate, strictly follow the instructions. Also important healthy image life and diet during the period of antibiotic therapy. In addition, special preparations of live lacto- and bifidobacteria - probiotics - will help support the body.

To fight diseases, you have to use a lot of drugs, including potent ones.

Almost always, after antibiotics, it is necessary to restore the balance of microflora, intestines and other organs, since together with the pathogenic bacteria, the necessary bacteria were destroyed.

Before recovering from taking antibiotics, you must first cleanse your body. There are several ways to do this, for example, you can drink 2 tablets of activated carbon in the morning for several days. A glass of boiled water also helps if you drink it on an empty stomach. Such morning procedures must be performed for at least 10 days.

In the internal organs, antibiotics accumulate, then they are converted into toxic substances. Already these toxins can be removed with the help of antioxidants.

Many of these nutrients contain:

1. plum;
2. beans;
3. all nuts;
4. blueberries;
5. cranberry;
6. walnut;
7. parsley.

Collection of medicinal herbs also intensifies the elimination of antibiotics. It is necessary to drink urological and chest fees, alternating them with each other. The course of treatment is at least 10 days, if necessary, you can repeat the course.

Nettle tea is considered a universal remedy after antibiotics. 2 tablespoons of the crushed plant are poured with 2 liters of boiled water, infused in a dark place. You need to drink this infusion per day, the course of cleansing is 2 weeks.

A visit to a bath or sauna helps to cleanse the body. Intense sweating activates metabolic processes, the body is renewed, the formation of new cells is stimulated. But you can visit the bathhouse after recovery, when the body temperature has become normal.

Active hardening procedures after the bath, for example, dousing cold waterare very helpful too. But it is impossible to conduct them on a weakened body, it will be stress. After complete recovery, preferably in summer, tempering procedures can be started. Their regular implementation will significantly strengthen the body.

Bowel rehabilitation

The intestines suffer most from antibiotics, its microflora is destroyed. This disrupts the normal digestion of food and makes it difficult to absorb nutrients into the blood.

To restore the function of the digestive system, it is necessary to take a course of preparations with enzymes:

• Mezim;
• Pancreatin;
• Festal.

Before using drugs you need to consult with a specialist who will take into account all the contraindications and complications.

You must definitely go to healthy eating, this will reduce the load on the body and help it recover. Spicy dishes, spicy seasonings, marinades should be excluded from the diet. You should not eat fatty foods, sweet foods, eggs more than 1 per day. Fermented milk drinks, hated soups, cereal-based dishes, berry compotes will be healthy.

Often, after taking antibiotics, a violation of the stool is observed, because drugs are destroyed indiscriminately along with pathogenic and beneficial bacteria. According to the situation, it is necessary to take laxatives or, conversely, astringents. It is good to consult with a gastroenterologist about which medications are best to use.

Modern medicine offers many preparations containing beneficial microorganisms in concentrated form. These are the so-called probiotics, they help the intestines to heal faster.

The most famous drugs in this category:

• Linex;
• Bifidumbacterin;
• Simbilact;
• Hilak forte.

After a course of taking antibiotics, fermented milk drinks and products, for example, cottage cheese, kefir, kumis, fermented baked milk, are recreated in a natural way.

After an illness, it is advisable to drink such drinks at least two glasses a day, then the microflora of the digestive system will be restored.

Liver aid

Antibiotic treatment is always harmful to the liver, because it is the main filtering organ. Regular cleansing of the liver will allow it to be preserved and conscientiously perform its functions.

Mineral water helps the liver to recover well. The doctor determines what kind of water should be used depending on the existing diseases.

After taking a course of antibiotics, they are prescribed:

• Mirgorodskaya;
• Berezovskaya;
• Slavyanovskaya;
• Essentuki 17 or 4;
• Truskavetskaya;
• Borjomi.

Mineral water should be kept open for some time so that bubbles of carbon dioxide come out (then the effect on the organ will be softer). It is imperative to heat the water to 37 degrees, drink 150 ml 30 minutes before meals.

With prolonged use of antibiotics for the liver, hepatoprotectors can be prescribed:

• Carsil;
• Essentiale;
• Hepatil;
• LIV - 52.

These drugs help the liver to recover, which has to work hard to process potent drugs.

Herbal tea helps well, which can be drunk for preventive purposes, and not only after a course of antibiotics. For example, a rosehip decoction will provide the body with the necessary vitamins and help the liver to cleanse itself. 3 or 4 times a day, a glass of this broth for two weeks will promote health.

Stomach recovery

If the medicine is taken orally, that is, through the mouth, then the stomach lining is almost always damaged. The modern process of digesting food can be difficult and worsened, because the beneficial bacteria that were contained in the body are destroyed after antibiotics.

In severe cases, an ulcer may develop.

To maintain the normal functioning of the stomach and the entire digestive system, it is necessary to follow a diet after treatment strong drugs... You can also protect the gastric mucosa with drinks that envelop the inner surface of the organ, do not give active substances damage healthy tissue.

The enveloping properties are:

• potato juice;
• berry jelly;
• decoction of flax seeds;
• berry fruit drink.

Decoctions of chamomile, mint, lemon balm are wonderful for stomach pains. For people with allergic reaction on the herbal preparations doctors prescribe other drugs.

Disorders in the genitourinary system from antibiotics

Antibiotic treatment provokes candidiasis (thrush) in the female body. The normal microflora of the genital area is disturbed and leads to unpleasant symptoms. When the first signs appear, you need to contact your gynecologist to clarify the diagnosis, prescribe treatment.

When the diagnosis of thrush is confirmed, it will be possible to begin the restoration of the normal microflora of the reproductive sphere. Widely used vaginal suppositories, for example, Vagilak, Atzilakt, Bifidumbacterin. Bifidokefir is used for douching.

Besides local treatment oral pills may be prescribed. Diflucan, Forcan, Mikosist are often recommended. It is impossible to start such a disease, it will spread throughout the body, penetrating into other internal organs.

Means for strengthening the immune system

Strong immunity is able to cope with any disease better than the most modern medicine.

Antibiotics have been used more often in the treatment of children. Is recovering children's organism faster, but you also need to help him. The doctor will advise on how to improve the health of children.

Conclusion

Antibiotics are widely used in medical practice... Their negative side effect makes you restore health after the treatment.

A specialist will tell you the methods of rehabilitation, it will be a drug from the category of immunomodulators or methods of traditional medicine. But the restoration of the destroyed immunity does not pass quickly, sometimes it takes several months to restore the normal functioning of the body.

But then a strong body will reliably resist pathologies, a person will be able to enjoy health.
