The most common symptoms of diseases are fever, runny nose, cough, sneezing, sore throat, earache, redness in the eyes, diarrhea, vomiting, Skin rashes. While we generally provide supportive treatment for viral diseases, we can use antibiotics for bacterial infections such as group A beta hemolytic and streptococcus, also known as beta.

When we detect head lice, we use shampoo for treatment purposes. We can recommend it.”
“CHILDREN SHOULD LEARN HYGIENE AT HOME”
Underlining that hygiene rules should be taught to children in the family in order to protect them from infection, Kuzaytepe said, “We should remind our children to wash their hands frequently after wiping their noses, going to the toilet, before and after meals, and after playing. We should not send our sick children to school and complete their missing vaccinations. We should give our children a single coat.” “Instead of thick clothes, it would be better to dress them in layers, considering that they are in hot and cold environments. In other words, they should wear thinner clothes in the hot classroom, and choose clothes that will make it easier for them to put on another layer when they go to recess in the cold class,” he said.
“IT IS OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY IN CHILDREN IN KINDERGARTEN CLASS AND PRIMARY EDUCATION”

“TOO MUCH OF SOME VITAMINS CAN DAMAGE OUR BODY”
Referring to the harm of vitamins given to children without the supervision of a physician, Kuzaytepe said, “Using vitamin supplements according to the results of examination and examination will benefit our children, otherwise we may even cause harm. Excess of some vitamins can harm our body. Without asking your doctor about supplementary foods whose effectiveness, amount of effectiveness, and side effects we do not yet know.” “It is not appropriate to use it,” he said.
