Being a parent, you would never want to see your child attacked by recurrent infections. Being more exposed to the environment, children are more prone to the infections of the respiratory and the digestive tract.
Immune system is the defense mechanism of our body. It defends against the intrusion and multiplication of disease causing germs; thereby it helps in fighting against infections. The defense mechanism in children is not fully mature, it develops with age. And therefore, due to low immunity, children catch infections often. With rising temperatures in summers, the environment is also not favoring good health.
Some of the commonest diseases children are prone to in summer are:
- Cold
- Cough
- Fever
- Viral infection
- Allergies
