A member asked:

Which viruses are going around this month that infants can catch?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many!: There are well over 500 viruses that children can get. Currently, we have seen much gastroenteritis caused by norovirus; still some cases of flu; some gastro caused by rotovirus (we have a good oral vaccine for that). We are beginning to see coxsackie virus -- causes sosres in the mouth, fever. Common cold viruses include rhinoviruses as well. No specific treatment- rest, hydration and time!
