Viral infections in children

Viral infections in children occur when viruses invade the body, leading to illnesses such as colds, flu, and stomach viruses. These infections are typically spread through close contact, respiratory droplets, or contaminated surfaces. Symptoms may include fever, cough, runny nose, and fatigue. Most viral infections are mild and resolve on their own, but some can lead to complications. Vaccinations can prevent certain viral diseases. It's essential for caregivers to ensure proper hygiene, monitor symptoms, and consult a healthcare professional when necessary to manage these infections effectively.
