It is common for babies to get viral fever three times a month. Runny nose. Do not go away. Such infections among children are also increasing in India. Fevers, coughs, and colds are common in children from preschool to second grade. There have also been reports at the national level that viral diseases are spreading like never before among children in small classes.
When the children come home, the disease spreads to the adults as well. By the time children recover from one virus infection, they are already infected with the next. Having to leave school due to fever and exams etc. increases the risk of spreading the disease to other children. The reason for the frequent virus attack is the weak immune system in young children.
Viral diseases with symptoms like fever, cold and cough have been spreading for the past two to three months. Most of these are viral diseases. Due to the covid, the children have been indoors for the last two years, the reason why these diseases have increased in a big way. Children did not go to school, playgrounds or other public places during covid. Therefore, children have not come in contact with viruses during this period.
Therefore, children do not develop immunity against various viruses. Children are protected from many viruses by the formation of antibodies in the body as part of exposure to the virus. Since this has not happened for two years, the immune system of children is very low. It was at this point that schools were opened and the old lifestyle returned. Rainy season is also the time when germs multiply.

What types of diseases?
The most common of these is upper respiratory infection with symptoms like runny nose, stuffy nose, low fever and dry cough. But phlegm (lower respiratory infection) deserves more attention. If you faint, you can go to pneumonia. Initial symptoms include high fever, cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
It can be prevented if you pay attention
Taking precautions like those taken during the COVID can prevent further infections. Mask and sanitizer habits should be continued. Do not go to school until the fever is completely gone. This will prevent the disease from spreading to more children. Teachers should pay special attention to this and give relaxation to children in attendance.
