The Immune System
The immune system protects your child's body from
outside invaders
...
The immune system is made up of different
organs, cells, and proteins that work together
...
You are born with this
...
You develop this
when your body is exposed to microbes or chemicals
released by microbes
...
The innate immune system
This is your child's rapid response system
...
It is made up of the skin,
the eye's cornea, and the mucous membrane that lines the
respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts
...
They protect against harmful germs,
parasites (such as worms), or cells (such as cancer)
...
It is active from the
moment your child is born
...
The cells of this
immune system surround and cover the invader
...
The acquired immune system
The acquired immune system, with help from the innate
system, makes special proteins (called antibodies) to
protect your body from a specific invader
...
The
antibodies stay in your child's body
...
But after the first exposure,
the immune system will recognize the invader and defend
against it
...
Immunizations train your child's immune
system to make antibodies to protect them from harmful
diseases
...
Two glands located at the back of the
nasal passage
...
The soft, spongy tissue found in bone
cavities
...
Small organs shaped like beans,
which are located all over the body and connect via
the lymphatic vessels
...
A network of channels all over
the body that carries lymphocytes to the lymphoid
organs and bloodstream
...
Lymphoid tissue in the small
intestine
...
A fist-sized organ located in the belly
(abdominal) cavity
...
Two lobes that join in front of the windpipe
(trachea) behind the breastbone
...
Two oval masses in the back of the throat

But antibiotics
don’t work for infections caused by viruses
...
That
means that an antibiotic that works for a skin infection
caused by a certain bacteria may not work to cure
diarrhea caused by a different bacteria
...
It's important to take
antibiotics as prescribed and for the right amount of
time
...
Then the
infection may come back again and be harder to treat
...
You can help decrease the
spread of more aggressive bacteria by not asking
your child’s healthcare provider for antibiotics in these
case
