  Angina the kid has a sore throat, fever... Nothing, just a cold – wave his hand a mom. But the same trouble can occur in other, very serious disease – angina (acute tonsillitis), which is accompanied by weakness, "aches and pains" in muscles and General malaise. During the examination the doctor notices enlarged reddened tonsils, sometimes covered with a white bloom or spotted with points – gaps filled with pus. Of course, to swallow the baby in such a situation it is extremely painful.

However, angina is not afraid of this, and its serious complications. The fact that the Streptococcus is the causative agent of this disease, in addition to the throat often affects the heart and kidneys. To avoid this, doctors prescribe little patients the antibiotics from the first day of the disease, and to abandon them in any case not worth it!

Intestinal disorders may be accompanied by abdominal pain, gas, rumbling of the intestine.

As a result of diarrhea and vomiting baby loses a lot of fluid, dehydration. The skin becomes pale and dry, reduces its elasticity, and under eye dark circles. In the dehydration is the main risk of rotavirus infection, so the first task of parents is to unsolder toddler to loss of fluid has not reached critical levels.
