The problem of hair loss has always existed, but now it is particularly common. The reason is that hair loss is one of the side effects of post-COVID infection. We have already discussed post-COVID issues separately; now let’s take a closer look at the issue of post-COVID hair loss.
Palatine tonsils, or simply tonsils, are lymphatic formations located in the back of the throat. Tonsils play a crucial role in the immune system’s function. They act as a barrier, protecting our body from microorganisms that enter our respiratory tract from the external environment.
When an infection affects the tonsils, they become inflamed. Often, inflamed tonsils can become chronically enlarged.
We understand the situation well when the cause of our illness is an infection. So, we need to find a way to kill this infection, and we will recover immediately. Of course, this is a simplification. We cannot always kill viruses, for example. Moreover, an infectious disease can trigger an autoimmune disease. To avoid any confusion, let’s break down the issue in detail.
We can all feel tired from time to time, and it’s perfectly normal; it just means our bodies need rest. You can spend the whole day on your feet and be tired by the evening. You can also spend an entire day sitting with your books and end up even more tired than from physical exertion because our brain is the most energy-consuming organ in the body. Stress can also make you tired; it consumes a lot of your energy.
In the first part, we discussed what can cause the problem of excess weight. Now, let’s discuss what can help you lose weight without negatively affecting your health.
Many problems associated with excess weight are well-known. But are they the cause or the consequence of excess weight? Let’s try to break them down into two groups:
This article is written for parents of special needs children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which I will refer to as autism for brevity. In this article, I won’t delve into explaining what autism is. Even if you are not a parent of such a child, you likely encounter these children in various settings. Unfortunately, autism has ceased to be a rare condition.
Many years ago, I first heard about this strange abbreviation, PANDAS. It was about children who were no different from their peers except that they would occasionally have fits of hysteria. In this state, these children could destroy everything around them and cause harm to themselves and those around them. Of course, when this happened in front of their peers, it had a highly negative impact on the socialization of these children. Their peers avoided them, and teachers also felt tension and often requested the presence of an assistant to help control these children. After all, a child could start behaving uncontrollably again at any moment.
Hormones are substances produced by our bodies in small quantities. They serve to regulate physiological processes. In early life, the production of hormones is significantly lower, and during the period of sexual maturity, their levels gradually increase, then reach their maximum, and after some time, hormone production begins to decline. Simultaneously, the quality of life in various areas starts to decline, even in the absence of hormonal imbalance-related diseases.
Every year, after the summer break, specialists of all kinds, including speech therapists, occupational therapists, and doctors, experience an influx of inquiries. Why does this happen? It’s because children are going back to school. Sometimes, teachers at school notice certain aspects of a child’s behavior and recommend consulting specialists. Parents, too, may realize that it was much easier with their older children at the same age. Additionally, children tend to get sick more often as they spend more time in a group setting, and the change in a child’s schedule after a leisurely summer doesn’t help.
