Viruses in children: when they are dangerous

The occurrence of virosis in children is common, especially during the winter months.

While many viral infections are usually mild and pass with proper care, there are cases where medical intervention may be necessary. Let's look at when viruses can be dangerous and what precautions can be taken to protect children.

Viral infections can be dangerous if a child develops a high fever that lasts for several days or increases dramatically. In this case you should call your doctor immediately. If the child has difficulty breathing, immediate medical attention should be sought. Finally, a virus can be dangerous if the symptoms are not consistent with a common cold and include serious problems such as lethargy and loss of consciousness. 

Viruses in children may be exacerbated by a lack of precautions, so we encourage parents to implement effective protective measures. These may include adherence to a vaccination schedule, which is crucial to protect the child from serious illness. Training children to wash their hands frequently with soap and water, as well as teaching them the correct technique of covering their mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing. Finally, children should have healthy sleeping and eating habits to boost their immune system.
