Approved benefits of breathing exercises stands on what basis: it is believed that life is full of stress and adverse influences (and the truth is that no one will argue with this, and the last thing we think about is our breath. The process itself breathing is carried out automatically, instinctively, so we do not give our breathing no attention - in contrast to the same nutrition or muscle tone. As a result, our respiratory function is suppressed. We breathe too shallow (shallow breath, we do not use all the possibilities of the lungs; our respiratory the system is often tense, spasmodic due to stress. As a result, we constantly get less oxygen - vital oxygen! - and our lungs work half-heartedly, incorrectly, which can lead to a number of diseases, including diseases in the first place breathing(frequent colds, bronchitis, sinusitis, as well as cardiovascular and nervous diseases. Apart from these consequences, improper breathing costs asthma: fans respiratory practitioners often argue that breathing exercises is the only cure for this disease.

Inflammation of the bronchi is a serious and dangerous disease that is diagnosed annually in 25 out of 100 children. In case of untimely treatment, there is a high probability of developing complications in the form of pneumonia or bronchial asthma. However, competent therapy, taking into account the form and severity of the pathology, helps to completely eliminate bronchitis and prevent possible consequences. AT childhood treatment should be comprehensive and include, in addition to taking medications, massage, breathing exercises and special physical exercises.

Principles of treatment of bronchitis in a child

The most important limitation in the treatment of inflammation of the bronchial mucosa in childhood is the inadmissibility of self-treatment. Only a qualified specialist should select medicines and prescribe any measures.

Bronchitis in children is a serious disease, the methods of treatment of which are determined by the pediatrician.

Bronchitis is treated in the following areas:

• suppression of infection;
• decrease in mucus secretion;
• withdrawal of sputum from the bronchi;
• elimination of concomitant symptoms (high fever, runny nose, diarrhea, etc.);
• general strengthening of the body.

The treatment regimen also takes into account the type of disease:

1. Acute and obstructive forms of bronchitis involve the elimination of respiratory failure.
2. In recurrent and chronic types of the disease, immunomodulating therapy is carried out.
3. With an allergic origin of the pathology, the most important thing is to exclude the contact of the child with the allergen.

Important! The pediatrician can prescribe a small patient and home treatment. However, if the child has signs of intoxication, the temperature exceeds 38 ° C and shortness of breath occurs, urgent hospitalization is necessary. This is especially true for newborns and children. early age due to inadequate functioning of the respiratory system.

Child care at home includes:

1. Medical therapy.
   

   In some cases, doctors prescribe antibiotics for children. This is acceptable if pathogenic bacteria have been added to the viral infection, or if various complications have appeared in the form of excessively high temperature and purulent discharge during coughing.

2. Creating an optimal indoor climate. It is necessary to regularly ventilate the room and maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity in it.
3. Correction of nutrition and lifestyle.
4. Inhalation with a nebulizer.
5. Exclusion of all possible allergens.

However, for a complete recovery, sometimes only a proper diet, antiviral and antibacterial therapy is not enough. To cleanse the bronchi are recommended:

• massage;
• physical exercise;
• breathing exercises.

They will help prevent possible Negative consequences and significantly reduce the course of therapy.

It is important to remember that complementary treatments for bronchitis will not replace medical treatment. Therefore, parents need to follow the recommendations of the doctor and coordinate all medical procedures with him.

Massage for inflammation of the bronchi

Increased production of mucus in the bronchi can lead to obstruction (obstruction) of the airways in a child. To prevent this serious complication, doctors prescribe massage, the tasks of which are also:

• liquefaction of sputum and increased drainage of the lungs, which contributes to a better withdrawal of mucous secretion and restoration of air permeability in the bronchial tree;
• improvement of blood circulation in the lung tissues, due to which there is an additional purification of the respiratory tract and nutrition of the bronchi with oxygen and useful substances;
• Improving the child's immunity due to the increased production of special cellular structures that cleanse the child's body from pathogenic microorganisms - viruses and bacteria.

Note! Before starting a massage, you should consult a doctor who will determine if there are contraindications to this type. medical procedures. So, it is forbidden to do any physical manipulations at a high temperature in a child.

Rules for holding

1. Before the massage, ventilate the room, making sure that the air temperature is constantly in the range from 20 to 25 ° C, and the humidity is not lower than 65%.
2. Carry out the procedure in the morning or evening (two hours before bedtime). Such a time frame is required so that the discharge of sputum does not prevent the child from falling asleep.
3. Manipulations are carried out one hour before or 2 hours after a meal. This will help prevent bloating, nausea, or vomiting.
4. To liquefy and better expectorate sputum, the child is given a mucolytic agent and a warm drink.

It is important to understand that an incorrectly performed procedure can only worsen the situation. If the child constantly catches a cold, coughs, parents should think about taking a course in baby massage.

vibratory

Vibration massage is especially recommended for acute bronchitis, as it helps to remove sputum that accumulates in large quantities in the bronchi and lungs. To carry it out, it is necessary to rhythmically tap on the back of the baby in the area of ​​​​the bronchi.

Massage for bronchitis improves sputum discharge and increases children's immunity

The rules for performing the procedure depend on the age of the baby. For children older than a year, they look like this:

1. We put the child with his tummy on the pillow so that the body lies entirely on the roller, and the head and legs hang freely.
2. We raise the legs a little, ensuring that the child's head is below the level of the body. In this case, the mucus will not accumulate in the bronchi, but will begin to come out.
3. Gently tap with the bottom of your hand only upper part back and sides. In no case should you touch the spine or tap the child on the chest.

When conducting vibration massage in a child under one year old, you need to be extremely careful. In order for the procedure to bring only benefit to the baby, it is important to follow the recommendations of doctors:

1. We put the baby on our knees (the position is the same as for older children on the pillow).
2. We knock with the middle and index fingers of the right hand on the palm of the left hand, located above the bronchial area.

A massage session lasts from 3 to 7 minutes (the duration depends on the age of the child and the severity of the disease). During breaks, give the baby vertical position to improve coughing.

drainage

Before the massage, the child is placed on a roller or a small pillow.

Drainage massage is indicated for simple and obstructive forms of acute bronchitis. For effective discharge of sputum, the child is placed on the stomach on a roller or a narrow pillow so that the head is lower than the body. The procedure consists of four consecutive steps.

1. First, rub the back to redness. So that the baby does not experience discomfort, you can use a baby cream.
2. We retreat from the spine by two to three centimeters and perform 20 tingling, catching up with the “wave”. We move from the bottom up - from the middle of the back to the throat.
3. We probe the intercostal cavities with the fingertips. We make such a passage 3-4 times in one session.
4. We tap the area of ​​the bronchi for no more than a minute with a palm folded in a boat. Then we stroke the back with the palms towards the shoulders.

After the manipulations, the baby should cough well, then it should be wrapped in a warm blanket and left in bed to “lie down”. Massage should not be performed if the child has a fever.

dotted

The essence of acupressure is the impact on strictly defined places on the human body. Points that help cure bronchitis are located on the neck, under the knees, behind the ears. Zones of influence are somewhat different in acute and chronic forms of pathology. This method very effective, but only a specialist should perform such manipulations.

Acupressure should be performed by a person with a special medical education

Honey

Natural honey is considered a very effective remedy for inflammation of the bronchi. It is useful both when taken orally and when used externally. However, before carrying out manipulations, it is necessary to make sure that the child is not allergic to honey. The procedure itself resembles a drainage form of massage.

1. We put the baby on the tummy and rub the back red.
2. We apply a small amount of heated honey to the bronchial area.
3. We pat on the back until the skin becomes completely dry, and the palms stop sticking to it.

Usually the duration of the procedure does not exceed 7 minutes. Then the baby must be rinsed with warm water, wrapped in a blanket and put to bed.

Canned

To perform such a massage, you will need medical cups. For a child over 5 years old (this method is contraindicated in infants and young children), two glass containers are enough. When performing the procedure, the following sequence of actions must be observed:

1. We lubricate the bronchial area with baby cream, petroleum jelly or olive oil.
2. To apply cans, we use a cotton swab (it is necessary to moisten it in alcohol and set it on fire). The jar will stick to the skin due to rarefied air.
3. We perform smooth sliding movements, making sure that the banks do not separate from the skin.

Note! Until now, pediatricians have not come to a consensus about the effectiveness of cupping massage. Therefore, be sure to consult a specialist before carrying out such manipulations.

Cupping massage is allowed for children from 5 years old

Breathing exercises

In inflammatory processes in the bronchi, breathing exercises are also indicated. The best time to start their implementation - 3-4 days of the disease, when the temperature returns to normal. Young children need to be interested in doing gymnastics by turning it into a game form.

A child under two years old will enjoy blowing soap bubbles or blowing paper boats in a bowl of water. In this case, the baby becomes the wind, which helps the "sailboats" to swim to the other "shore".

Blowing bubbles is good for bronchitis

Suitable for children over two years old special exercises, during which the following rules must be observed:

• inhale exclusively through the nose (if the nasal passages are blocked, you need to drip nasal drops);
• do not puff out your cheeks, at the beginning of the lesson you should hold them with your palms;
• while inhaling, the shoulders should remain motionless;
• long and smooth exhalation through the mouth.

A set of exercises for children over two years old (each should be repeated 4-6 times):

1. "Ball". Starting position: lying on your back, hands folded on your stomach. On inhalation, slowly inflate the stomach, like a balloon, and on exhalation, just as slowly blow it off.
2. "Wave". Starting position: lying on your back, legs together, arms along the body. While inhaling, raise your hands and take them back so as to touch the floor behind your head. Exhale to return to starting position. Performing the exercise, you need to pronounce the word "in-and-and-out."
3. "Growing big." Starting position: standing on your feet, feet together. Raise your arms to the sides and up. As you inhale, stand on your toes and stretch. As you exhale, take the starting position. Performing the exercises, you need to say "wow."

Parents should not worry if a sick child cannot perform such exercises for a long time. Even 10 minutes is enough to strengthen the respiratory muscles and deliver additional oxygen to the lungs.

Charging and exercise

Physiotherapy exercises help children cope with bronchitis faster and more efficiently. However, charging should be abandoned if the child has a high temperature. In the absence of heat, exercise therapy will only benefit due to:

• strengthening immunity;
• improve blood circulation;
• enhancing sputum output;
• restoration of drainage of the respiratory tract;
• reduce inflammation in the bronchial tree.

A set of exercises should be determined by the attending doctor after examining the child. Classes are recommended to be carried out in the exercise therapy group under the guidance of a trainer who is able to control the accuracy of the performance. If this is not possible, charging can be done at home.

Exercise therapy is combined with breathing exercises. First, the baby breathes “correctly”, then begins a warm-up, which consists of tilts and turns, squats, walking, alternately clapping his hands in front of him and behind his back for each exhalation.

For kids up to three years old, such a warm-up is enough. Older children are offered next complex exercises:

1. Walk alternately on toes and heels for one to two minutes.
2. Lie on your back, put one hand along the body, the other behind the head. Change the position of the hands at a fast pace. The duration of the exercise is 15–20 seconds. It is necessary to do 3-4 approaches with breaks.
3. The starting position remains the same. Raise your legs and do the exercise "bicycle" for a minute.

Fitball exercises

The gymnastic ball is allowed for the baby from the first weeks of life. Classes with a fitball, subject to safety precautions, will only benefit the child:

• strengthen the muscles of the abdomen and back;
• improve the breathing process;
• reduces inflammation in the airways.

Babies love to exercise on the fitball, but they should not be tired, so the duration of the procedure should not exceed 10 minutes. You can simply swing the child on the ball or perform the following exercises with him:

1. Put the baby on his stomach and, holding his back, gently rock the ball forward, backward and to the sides.
2. Turn over on your back and perform the same movement.
3. Put it on your stomach again right hand press on the back and ass so that the child pushes off with his feet from the hand, like a spring.

During the exercise on the fitball, it is necessary to support and secure the child.

Fitball exercises strengthen the muscles of the abdomen and back and improve the child's breathing.

Treatment of inflammatory processes in the bronchi is complex. One cannot do without medicines, but one should not forget about such additional measures as massage, breathing exercises and physiotherapy. They do not require financial costs, are carried out at home and significantly accelerate the recovery of the child. However, the independent appointment of these procedures is excluded, only the doctor will be able to competently draw up a course of therapy, taking into account the characteristics of children's health.

Many parents face respiratory problems in children. Agree, when a child is sick, it is very upsetting. Treatment with drugs is not always justified and welcomed by mothers.

But how else to help the baby prevent and overcome diseases? In such a situation, breathing exercises can help the child and his parents. This complex develops the speech apparatus, respiratory muscles, coordination of movements, muscles of the spine and arms, promotes proper rhythmic breathing and pronunciation of sounds. In addition, if the child is hyperactive, then with the help of these exercises, he will learn to relax and calm down.

Experts recommend doing children's breathing exercises 10-15 minutes twice a day. And important! It should be at least an hour after the last meal. Follow certain rules: the breath is taken through the nose - the shoulders should not rise, the cheeks should not puff out; exhalation is done smoothly and for a long time.
