There are many types of Disease to which a child is susceptible. It is a rare event for a young child to go through childhood without contracting some type of infectious disease or another. Even the common cold, constipation is considered to be a disease. So here I’m simply describing some common childhood diseases to be aware of.

Worried?

It is all too easy to forget that the immune system of any young child is not yet fully developed and unless antibodies have been created.

These offer protections in the form of child vaccinations against such diseases as infantile paralyses or diphtheria for instance. Then the child will be exposed to possible infection by the latest child disease which is currently going the rounds.
