Infections: Understanding, Preventing, and Managing Common Illnesses
At Dr. Janardhan Reddy’s Pediatric Clinic, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of infections in children, caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Dr. Reddy uses his extensive experience to accurately identify the type and severity of infection—whether it’s a simple viral fever or a more serious condition like dengue, typhoid, or tuberculosis—and tailors treatment accordingly.
From early symptoms to recovery, we offer complete care for infections such as malaria, UTIs, gastroenteritis, skin infections, diarrhoea, and respiratory illnesses. With a strong focus on early detection and prevention, we help families understand how infections spread and guide them on steps to minimize risk, such as hygiene practices, nutrition, and timely vaccinations.
Benefits for your child include quicker recovery, reduced risk of complications, and long-term protection through preventive care. Our goal is to ensure your child receives the right care at the right time—promoting better health and peace of mind for parents.
Understanding Infections
Infections occur when pathogens (disease-causing agents) invade the body. The body’s immune system then mounts a response to fight them off. The type of pathogen determines the kind of infection and often the specific symptoms experienced.
Common ways infections spread include:
- Direct Contact: Touching an infected person, their bodily fluids (saliva, blood, etc.).
- Indirect Contact: Touching contaminated surfaces or objects (fomites).
- Droplet Transmission: Through sneezes or coughs that release tiny droplets containing germs.
- Airborne Transmission: Germs floating in the air for longer periods.
- Vector-Borne Transmission: Through insects or animals (e.g., mosquitoes, ticks).
- Food and Waterborne Transmission: Consuming contaminated food or water.
