Food allergies:

Asthma:
It is the most popular pediatric chronic disease, which affects around 5 million children in USA. Asthma is generally a constant state in which a kid gets asthma attack one after another. In this condition, the air fails to get in and out of the lungs like the normal times. The condition becomes severe, when the kid with asthma gets affected with another triggers like viral infection, an irritant (such as the air pollution or the cigarette smoke), an allergen, cold air or exercise. Children who are affected with asthma make whistling sounds while breathing as air doesn't get a proper way to pass by. Another symptoms of asthma can be tightness in the chest, fast breathing and difficulty in breathing. Most of the kids get the symptoms under six years but many of them outgrow this illness in later childhood with eczema or allergies and bronchiolitis. In this case, kids may have to get admitted in the hospitals.
Bronchiolitis:
This is another most common kids health problems. It specially affects the children between 2-6 months of age and as a result the kids have to admit in the hospitals. Around 2-5% kids get affected with this disease every year. Though bronchiolitis can affect the kids at any time of a year, but generally the illness affect the kids during the winter season. Commonly the illness gets better within a period of 1-2 weeks . In some cases, bronchiolitis converts into ear infection and having this illness in the early ages increase the risk of having asthma in the later life.
Fungal Infections:
Many of the kids get affected with contagious fungal infections while moving out or spending time with their peer groups. Sharing the common hairbrush or comb or close contact can spread fungus from one kid to the another. As the fungi need a dark, humid and warm place to grow; pools, showers, locker rooms, and even the shoes and socks of kids can be the right place for the fungi. Appropriate child care services can proved to be helpful to banish such fungi infections. Some kids get yeast infection through antibiotic medications to get rid of harmful germs. While destroying the harmful germs, the antibiotics also kill many harmless bacterias and because of this the yeasts feel free to grow in the body. Kids can also be affected by fungus while they get a immune system disorder .
