Childhood Infections
"Sick days are hard — let us make them easier."
❓ What are the most common infections in children?
Children, especially under the age of 5, are more prone to frequent infections due to their developing immune systems. The most common conditions include:
- Fever and viral infections
- Cough, cold, and flu
- Diarrhoea and vomiting
- Ear infections
- Tonsillitis or sore throat
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Skin rashes and allergies
- Worm infestations
These are usually mild and self-limiting but may require medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.
❓ When should I worry about a fever?
A fever is a natural response of the body to fight infections. However, you should consult a doctor if:
- Fever lasts more than 2–3 days
- Your child is unusually drowsy, irritable, or not feeding well
- The temperature is >102°F (especially in infants)
- There are associated symptoms like rashes, seizures, or breathing difficulty
❓ What causes recurrent cough and cold in children?
Young children often get 6–8 colds per year, especially if they attend day-care or school. Common causes include:
- Viral infections
- Allergies
- Weather changes
- Pollution or smoke exposure
Most viral colds resolve on their own, but a doctor's evaluation is needed if the cough is persistent, disturbing sleep, or associated with wheezing.
❓ How can I manage diarrhoea and vomiting in my child?
Mild diarrhoea or vomiting is often due to infections, food intolerance, or poor hygiene. Home care includes:
- Oral rehydration (ORS)
- Continued feeding
- Avoiding sugary or fatty foods
Seek medical care if:
- There is blood in stools
- Child appears dehydrated (dry mouth, no tears, low urine output)
- Vomiting is persistent
❓ How do I know if my child has a serious infection?
Signs of a more serious illness include:
- High fever with lethargy
- Poor feeding
- Laboured or fast breathing
- Continuous crying or irritability
- Seizures
- Reduced urine output
Don't wait—early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
