What Are Some Common Long Term Effects of Pediatric Illnesses?
Certain pediatric illnesses can result in long term effects. For example, children with congenital heart disease may face ongoing cardiac issues. Childhood cancers, though treatable, often come with long term side effects from chemotherapy or radiation, such as cognitive impairments and increased risk of secondary cancers. Chronic respiratory conditions like asthma can also persist, affecting lung function and overall health.
