Common Pediatric Disease

Children are naturally curious and playful. And as they continue to engage in nature, they tend to easily acquire medical conditions as their immune system is not yet strong enough to get rid of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. The bacteria and viruses that compromise their health may come from improperly prepared food, droplets of saliva from a sick person, unkempt surroundings, dirty nails & body parts, and sometimes, lack of attention of parents to their child’s current behaviors.

Several diseases and disorders are usually encountered in pediatric practice. The most documented cases by their frequency of occurrence to children are as follows:

• ADHD
• Allergies
• Autoimmune Disorders
• Asthma
• Blood Disorders
• Celiac Disease
• Childhood Cancer
• Eye Problems
• Eczema
• Hemochromatosis
• Impetigo
• Iron Deficiency
• Gastroenteritis
• Galactosemia
• Otitis media
• Pinworms
• Scabies
• Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
• Strep throat
• Urinary Tract Infection

Early detection of disease onset is helpful in determining the course of prevention actions. While young, it is clinically advised for children to undergo medical testing so experts could counteract the negative effects that may limit the child from achieving the best of their capacities.
