Dr. Xie Zixing
Common illnesses in infants and young children include pneumonia and bronchitis, as well as wind-cold-type and viral colds, influenza, and acute gastroenteritis—often caused by rotavirus infection. Some children may also develop hand-foot-and-mouth disease or iron-deficiency anemia, among other conditions. Due to their relatively weak immune systems, infants and young children are particularly susceptible to both viral and bacterial infections. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
