Change of season brings a lot of worries for parents, especially if the kids are young. Now that summers are here, it is crucial to take care of hygiene and keep a few things in mind as there are certain infections that you should keep an eye for.
Want to know which ones should you watch out for? Here are some common infections that are observed in children.
Allergic rhinitis
This problem in children is observed due to inflammation and is also called hay fever. The nose tends to get itchy, runny and stuffy. This usually happens during the months of spring and summer.
Eczema
This leads to ashy and dry skin which gets worse due to humidity and summer heat. If your child swims in a pool treated with chlorine it can make this condition worse.
Lyme Disease
It is an infectious disease caused by Borrelia bacterium that spreads through ticks. If the skin appears to be red and it does not go away, you should consult with a doctor and get it checked.
Heat Rash
Summers bring intense heat and staying out in the sun can cause rashes which can be painful. You can prevent this from happening by keeping the skin dry and changing sweaty clothes in time.
Ptomaine poisoning
Otherwise known as food poisoning, it causes food spoilage due to increase in heat and that can cause stomach problems.
