CHILDREN'S INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND WAYS TO TREAT THEM WITH THE HELP OF NURSES IN HOSPITALS
Abstract
The health and well-being of children is of paramount importance, and therefore it is extremely important to address the infectious diseases they suffer from. Children are more susceptible to infectious diseases due to their developing immune systems, and if left untreated, these diseases can lead to serious complications and even death. In this article, we will discuss the common infectious diseases that children suffer from, the role of hospital nurses in treating these diseases, and the ways in which they can provide effective care to these young patients.
