Common illnesses in children are varied, with respiratory infections such as colds, coughs, and bronchitis being particularly common. These diseases are usually caused by viruses or bacteria and often present symptoms including fever, cough, and nasal congestion. Digestive system issues such as diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain should also not be overlooked and may be related to improper diet or infections. Regarding skin conditions, eczema, heat rash, and hand-foot-and-mouth disease are frequently seen, often causing symptoms such as skin itching and swelling. In addition, eye infections such as conjunctivitis and oral problems like mouth ulcers also occur occasionally. To prevent these illnesses, parents should pay attention to children's dietary hygiene, maintain a clean living environment, and educate children to develop good hygiene habits. If abnormal symptoms are detected, timely medical attention should be sought to ensure prompt and effective treatment for the child.
