Barbora Piteková, a pediatrician from the National Institute of Children’s Diseases and the Clinic of Pediatric Emergency Medicine in Bratislava, Slovakia, is offering practical advice to parents as viral season begins. She notes that the season brings typical symptoms like runny noses and coughs. Piteková suggests parents often unnecessarily fear fevers, misinterpreting their significance. She emphasizes that multiple viral infections—up to eight—during a single season are common. A cough, she adds, can persist for as long as a month. The pediatrician’s advice aims to reassure parents and provide guidance on managing common childhood illnesses in Bratislava, Slovakia.
