A member asked:
What are some childhood diseases that you generally "grow out of" as you reach adulthood, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PLease clarify: We dont really "outgrow" childhood dissease- we get them and develop immunity. Adults can still get chickenpox, pertussis, scarlet fever, mumps, measles, etc. If they did not have them as children. What to do? Eat well, drink lots water, take care of yourself so you dont get overwhelmed in case you did get ill.
