WHY CHILD HEALTH CHECKS ARE IMPORTANT
Turkey Medicals medical member and Turkey Specialist In Pediatric Infectious Diseases Doctor, pointed out that routine health checks of children should not be neglected during the covid and pandemic process.
In the early stages of the pandemic, Covid-19 was found to be rare in children and have serious risks over time, although it was noted that they usually have mild disease. Therefore, symptoms of diseases such as high fever, cough should be taken into account. On the other hand, some of the negative effects of the process should not be ignored and routine health checks should not be disrupted, said a specialist in Pediatric Infectious Diseases, and gave important advice to families.

PANDEMIC-TRIGGERED PROBLEMS
The pandemic process, especially in young children, disrupts routine control and vaccination services, increased screen time in older children, decreased exercise activities such as sports, impaired nutrition and sleep patterns, and poor effects of the child psychology (increase in anxiety, change in mood, dependence on parents, problems with socialization, etc.) led to such problems. In this process, the negatives observed in the child should not be ignored, the necessary measures should not be taken and the doctor’s checks should not be disrupted.
