Common Childhood Illnesses

When you’re a parent, it’s inevitable that your child will fall ill at some point. It can be difficult to know when to seek medical attention. Below are some common childhood illnesses and when you may need to schedule a sick visit at Hill Ave Clinic in Dickinson, TX.

Common Cold

Often confused with the flu due to similar symptoms, a cold typically involves sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, fever, cough, and excess mucus. If your child’s fever persists for more than four days, symptoms last beyond two weeks, or they are having trouble breathing, it’s time to see a doctor.

Influenza

Flu symptoms resemble those of a cold but often include aches, chills, headaches, fatigue, and respiratory issues. If your child experiences difficulty breathing, a fever above 103°F, extreme lethargy, or dehydration, schedule a visit with your doctor.

Middle Ear Infection

Ear infections are common in children and can be caused by a virus or bacteria. Symptoms include irritability, fever, tiredness, and ear discomfort. Consult a doctor if your child has a fever above 103°F, ear discharge, or hearing loss.

Strep Throat

Caused by bacteria or viruses, strep throat results in a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, swollen lymph nodes, and fever. If your child has blood in their saliva, trouble breathing or swallowing, dehydration, a rash, or joint swelling, it’s important to seek medical attention.

Croup

Croup is a viral infection that causes swelling in the airway, leading to a distinctive barking cough, hoarseness, and noisy breathing. If your child has difficulty breathing, a high fever, or stridor (a high-pitched sound when breathing in), it’s time to see a doctor.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

This viral illness causes a fever, sores in the mouth, and a rash on the hands and feet. If your child is unable to stay hydrated, has a high fever, or the rash appears infected, a doctor’s visit is recommended.
