Viruses return, children are the most affected, 300 cases a day in the emergency

With the change in temperatures, the cases of infection by seasonal viruses have also increased, and children are the most affected.

According to doctors, about 300 cases are presented to the Pediatric Emergency in Tirana every day, while there is also a large flow in the health centers.

Doctors say that cases with very high temperature that lasts from 2-3 days dominate.

The high temperature is usually the first 24-48 hours, temperature ranging 39-40, difficult to control. If before school we had more children from nurseries and kindergartens, now we also see children over 10-12 years old, who have fever, sore throat, headache, fatigue.

Doctors ask parents to be careful and consult with them, as antibiotics are not necessary in every case.

They should not rush to take an antibiotic for a fever of 2-3 days because in this case it is unnecessary, they should go to the doctor.

They also recommend avoiding closed spaces and consuming as much liquid as possible.
