🤧 Why Are So Many Kids Sick Right Now?
Runny nose, lingering cough, fever, vomiting, diarrhea… and yes, HFMD is still making the rounds!
These illnesses are mostly caused by common viruses, but they’re spreading quickly again. Why?👇
🦠 Immature immune systems
🏫 Crowded spaces like daycares & playgrounds
🖐️ Touching (and tasting!) everything
💡 What parents can do:
✅ Teach handwashing — simple but powerful!
✅ Keep sick kids home until fully recovered
✅ Clean toys, bottles & pacifiers regularly
✅ Stay up to date with vaccines
✅ Watch for danger signs like dehydration, fast breathing or high fever
Most childhood infections are mild and self-limiting — but early care + good hygiene makes all the difference. 💙
