Most childhood illnesses are caused by viruses or bacteria, which spread easily in schools and nurseries. Allergies, genetics, and environmental triggers such as smoke or pollution can also play a role.

Parents can help prevent illness by encouraging good hygiene, keeping vaccinations up to date, and reducing exposure to known triggers. Regular handwashing and a balanced diet are simple but effective preventive measures.

While mild fevers and coughs are common, parents should seek medical advice if a fever is very high, lasts more than a few days, or is accompanied by difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, lethargy, or a rash.

These may be signs of a more serious infection or underlying condition. Prompt assessment by a healthcare professional can help prevent complications. If in doubt, it’s always safer to consult a doctor.

Early signs may include delayed speech, difficulty interacting with others, trouble following instructions, or problems with movement and coordination. Parents who notice these signs should discuss them with their paediatrician, who can recommend further evaluation if needed.

Yes, many paediatric conditions can be diagnosed using non-invasive methods, which are designed to minimise discomfort for children. These may include blood tests, urine tests, and imaging techniques such as ultrasound or MRI, which do not require surgery or significant intervention.

Non-invasive diagnostics are particularly useful for identifying infections, monitoring organ function, and assessing developmental progress. Paediatricians choose the least invasive and most appropriate tests based on the child’s symptoms and medical history. This approach helps ensure accurate diagnosis while prioritising the child’s comfort and safety.
