Common pediatric illnesses
Common pediatric illnesses include conditions like colds, flu, ear infections, and stomach bugs, which often affect children. These illnesses are usually caused by viruses or bacteria and may cause symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, ear pain, or upset stomach. Children's immune systems are still developing, making them more susceptible. Most illnesses resolve with rest, fluids, and fever management, but some may require medical treatment. Good hygiene, vaccinations, and prompt care can help prevent and manage these illnesses, ensuring children recover quickly and stay healthy.
