Childhood Illnesses!
Many symtoms occur regularly in children and are not cause for concern. Others, however, should be immediately reported to a physician. Constipation, diarrhea and stomach aches may be related to a child’s diet or caused by an infection. A shore throat, coughing, swollen glands or fatique are symtoms of many illnesses common in childhood.
Nausea, vomiting and fever can range in severity and sometimes be cause for concern. Along with diarrhea, these can lead to dehydration if not properly treated. Dizziness may occur with or without fainting. Other common symtoms in children include itchiness, unexplained weight loss, swelling, eye related symtoms, hyperventilation, chest pain or other problems.
If your child shows signs of any of these, be preventive and call your physician. He or She can put your mind to rest or suggest a visit!
