A member asked:
If children have poor health when they are young, are they more likely to have health problems when they are adults?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: it depends on what the health problems were. Some things like asthma, will persist into adulthood. Other problems like recurrent ear infections tend to get better with age.
