1. What is tomato flu?
Tomato flu is a viral infection in small children accompanied by tomato-like blisters on the body. It mainly affects children between 1 and 5 years. The good news is that it can go away within 10 days. However, if symptoms persist consult your doctor immediately.
2. Main symptoms of tomato flu
Main symptoms include;
- Rashes
- Dehydration
- Skin irritation
Others;
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Body weakness
- Joint ache and pain
- Fever
3. How does it spread and is it dangerous?
Its virus spreads from one child to another through contact, such as, when playing, touching, or sitting with infected ones. If the symptoms are not controlled, dehydration can cause severe conditions, including kidney stones, constipation, and low blood volume shock, which can cause death.
Any more information on the disease would be useful too!
I wish to inform parents to monitor their kids closely. They should avoid touching blisters when spotted and reach out to a healthcare provider. They should also ensure that kids get a healthy diet and all necessary vaccines for boosted immunity.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
