Nevertheless, other researchers being carried out to understand the underlying links challenge these findings.<\/p>\n<h2>Can a Scientific Link Exist between Antibiotics and Asthma?<\/h2>\n<p>The research states that the links existing between antibiotics and asthma can be due to hygiene hypothesis.<\/p>\n<p>Children, in the present times, are being exposed to fewer microbes in comparison to the earlier times.<\/p>\n<p>The research further indicates perturbations caused in a child\u2019s gastrointestinal microbes ends up in disrupting the immune system which in turn results in children developing asthma.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to other chronic conditions, a single cause does not exist for developing asthma, rather multiple factors that exist concurrently are seen to trigger the condition.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a way to prevent it?<\/p>\n<p>Researchers say the probable answer lies in minimizing the use of antibiotics.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Breastfeeding help the immune system of your child?<\/h2>\n<p>Researchers show breast milk has a rich concentration of antibodies and white blood cells. Further, the study highlights the importance of early breastfeeding a child.<\/p>\n<p>If breastfeeding is not initiated at the earliest, it results in an infant being vulnerable to external illness.<\/p>\n<h2>Ear Infections<\/h2>\n<p>Pepsinogens,\u00a0 a set of digestive enzymes that are produced by the human body to slice down the food proteins are seen to be the major reason behind ear infections.<\/p>\n<p>Enzymes were found to have greater concentrations and were likely to be more concentrated on the middle ear than blood.<\/p>\n<p>A study carried out to understand the reasons behind ear infections saw 83 percent of young children being tested positive for pepsinogens.<\/p>\n<p>The infections are symptoms of acid reflux.<\/p>\n<h2>How do Pepsinogens Travel from the Stomach Region to the ear?<\/h2>\n<p>When children lie on their back, the enzymes are seen to travel all their way up to the throat and get dripped into the middle ear region resulting in a breeding bacterial ground.<\/p>\n<p>Indications of acid refluxes can be seen when children cough during the middle of their sleep while sleeping on their stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers have concluded, a simple way of reducing refluxes and controlling it might be an answer to keep middle ear infections at bay.<\/p>\n<p>Dairy foods are also seen a reason behind refluxes. However, getting an allergy test done can provide accurate results about your child being allergic to dairy.<\/p>\n<h2>Healthy Food Habits<\/h2>\n<p>Children have table foods introduced during their first year. However, in the United States antibiotics are being increasingly used on the livestock.<\/p>\n<p>Further, pears and apples are seen to be laced with antibiotic laden pesticides. Nevertheless, these practices are being planned to be phased out.<\/p>\n<h2>Natural Antibiotics<\/h2>\n<p>Antibiotics are necessary and sometimes it gets necessary to use them. Natural antibiotics are seen to have the underlying issues resolved often.<\/p>\n<p>Coconut oil, honey and garlic are some of the best natural antibiotics available to the mankind. As the saying goes education, not medication needs to be given prior importance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children diagnosed with autism, asthma, ADHD and related allergies
