Several health issues can arise in the school setting, including:
Infectious diseases like colds, flu, and gastrointestinal infections. Chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and allergies. Mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Injuries from sports or playground accidents.
Pediatricians should work closely with schools to manage these conditions and minimize their impact on the child's education.
