Pediatricians have issued a warning that children showing symptoms of influenza may be at risk of heart damage if they engage in sports or intense physical activity.
Dr. Deepal Perera, Consultant Pediatrician at Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children, urged parents to keep symptomatic children at home and not send them to school or preschool.
He also highlighted the growing spread of other illnesses among children, including dengue, chikungunya, and diarrhea, raising concern over multiple ongoing health threats.
