Seasonal viruses have increased the influx in pediatrics in Vlora. Doctors say that about 70 children seek help every 24 hours, while they call on parents not to neglect but to show up at the Emergency.

The outbreak of seasonal viruses has caused dozens of parents to seek health care at the Pediatrics of Vlora every day. Doctor Rina Llanaj says that the most affected are children, from one to three years old, while the most common problems are related to the respiratory tract.

"The situation in our pavilion from the 15th of the second day of November to the beginning of December has increased the number of visits. It is related to the humidity of the environment, the change in temperatures. We visit 24 hours, 50-60-70 children. We only admit children who have problems. We can accommodate up to 10 children. The most affected ages are preschool ages, up to 3 years old. Rather, children who are in kindergartens, nurseries because the contact is greater. - said the doctor. 

The pediatrician calls on the parents not to neglect the symptoms and concerns that the children manifest, but to present themselves immediately to the emergency room.
