As children develop, their immune systems also refine themselves. One of the ways your immune system gets stronger is by fighting off different illnesses. Thus, children are more susceptible to illness the younger they are because their immune systems are underdeveloped. In that light, some common childhood illnesses are: • Asthma • Bronchitis • Chickenpox • Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) • Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis • Gastroenteritis, or the stomach flu • Hand, foot, and mouth disease • Ear infections • Sinus infections • Strep throat   Our board-certified pediatrician at Pediatric Associates of Frisco would be happy to meet you and your child if you’re looking for a skilled, caring, and experienced pediatrician to care for your child.
