Children commonly experience viral and bacterial infections as their immune systems develop and they interact with other children at home, school and daycare. Dr. Nihaz Naha K provides diagnosis and treatment for common childhood infections involving the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract and other areas. Symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhoea, reduced appetite and tiredness are assessed according to the child's age and clinical condition. Treatment is individualised according to the likely cause and severity of infection. Parents are also advised about hydration, nutrition, warning signs and preventive measures to support safe recovery.
