Pediatrics: Most affected by respiratory infections, children under 7 years old
Pediatrician, Bektash Mandi

In the season of viruses, there are still quite a few cases of respiratory infections.

The pediatrician, Bektash Mandi, has shown that at least 30 cases are presented per day and the most affected are children under the age of 7.

"Children from 1-7 years of age have the biggest problem because at the age of 7 the bronchial tree matures and the immune system completes its formatting and the immune system is affected, and from 7 years and older there are children who visit it less and less often the premises of health institutions, but in this period we had children of all age groups from kindergartens, nurseries, 9-year-old schools and gymnasiums", he said to the media.

Further, Mandi appealed to parents to send their children to the hospital in cases where they have a temperature of 39 degrees.

"It is a trend to keep it for 3, 4 or 5 days, but the problem is that they keep it for 3-4 days in the apartment, but by the time the clinic starts, at least 3 days have passed. The incubation period of a common virus ranges from 24-72 hours. You can keep it at home, it can start on the first day, but if the temperature goes to 39 and above, it is a temperature that you cannot control at home and you must take it to a health institution. You can't keep the child in the apartment at 39 because it can give a febrile convulsion, it can have consequences that the child will suffer for the rest of his life," emphasized the pediatrician./ CNA
