childhood disease

Childhood diseases are illnesses that primarily affect children, caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. They can spread easily among young populations due to developing immune systems and close contact in schools or communities. Common examples include measles, chickenpox, and mumps. Many childhood diseases are preventable through vaccination, good hygiene, and proper healthcare. While some are mild, others can lead to serious complications if untreated. Understanding and addressing these diseases is vital for ensuring children's health, growth, and well-being, reducing the risk of outbreaks and long-term health issues.
