Strep Throat

Infections in children can range from mild to severe and are often caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites. Common infections include respiratory infections (like the common cold, flu, and pneumonia), gastrointestinal infections (such as gastroenteritis), skin infections (like impetigo and ringworm), and ear infections. Symptoms vary depending on the type of infection but can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, diarrhea, vomiting, and rash. Treatment may involve rest, fluids, and, in some cases, medications such as antibiotics. Preventive measures include vaccination, good hygiene practices, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals. If you’re concerned about your child’s health, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
