Summer viruses increase the influx in pediatrics

The start of the summer season and high temperatures have led to a significant increase in the number of children presenting for medical help. Doctors report more cases of seasonal viruses, respiratory infections, and dermatological problems related to sun exposure and frequenting swimming pools.

Pediatrician Anila Sevdari says that during this period an increased influx of young patients has been observed.

"We have the problem of viruses that affect the upper respiratory tract, and especially viral dermatitis that affects the skin, which are closely related to sun exposure and frequenting swimming pools and staying in the sand and sea for extended periods of time. They can go to the doctor in up to 40 cases a day, in the morning there is more flow than in the afternoon," she told "Abc News".

According to doctors, the most common symptoms are high fever, stuffy nose, sore throat, and digestive problems.

"Most of them are viral infections that last 2-3 days, but there are cases when bacterial infections overlap. The main complaint remains a high temperature for several days, as well as problems with the digestive system," explained Sevdari.
