Seasonal Illnesses in Children – Prevention & Treatment
Changing weather often brings with it a wave of seasonal illnesses, especially in children. From common colds and flu to viral infections and allergies, children are more vulnerable due to their developing immune systems. While most seasonal illnesses are mild, they can sometimes lead to complications if not managed properly.
At Rishitha Hospitals, our team of expert paediatricians and child specialists provides comprehensive care to help children recover quickly while guiding parents on prevention and long-term wellness.

- Viral Infections – Such as chickenpox, hand-foot-mouth disease, and viral fevers.
