症状的儿童
当孩子经历意外症状时，他们通常是正常的，而不是引起关注的原因。但是，有些迹象可能指出一个更大的问题。
如需额外的帮助，请在父母的雷达中添加以下症状。如果您的孩子坚持下去，您可能需要将他们带到医生。
Newborns and babies can’t tell you if they’re not hearing correctly. They also don’t respond to every stimulus the way we would expect.
如果您注意到您的孩子不会被大声的声音打扰或不响应，请与儿科医生预约检查听力问题。许多州（但不是全部）需要新生儿听力筛查。
As children get older and are introduced to personal music devices, loud stereos, video games, television, and even noisy city streets, their hearing may be at risk.
根据疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的说法
Help keep noise at safe levels. When children are listening with headphones, never set the sound above half volume. The same goes for television, video games, and movies. Limit time spent around loud noises as much as possible.
婴儿无法告诉您他们的视力是否模糊，或者他们是否无法集中眼睛。但是您可以说出微妙的方法。
If your baby never seems to focus on objects or they have a hard time finding close objects like your face or hand, let your pediatrician know. Watch for signs in school-age children like squinting, difficulty reading, or sitting too close to the TV.
If your child isn’t performing well in class, make sure to ask if they can see the blackboard. Many children are labeled “poor students” or “disruptive,” or are even diagnosed with ADHD, when they actually have unidentified poor vision. Constant eye rubbing is another sign of potential vision problems.
Kids often run a fever due to illnesses like stomach viruses and minor infections. When a high fever is accompanied by a headache so severe that your child has a hard time keeping their eyes open, that’s a sign of a bigger problem.
See your pediatrician right away to rule out a more serious condition, such as meningitis. If untreated, meningitis can cause significant complications and, in severe cases, even death.
您的儿科医生可以订购测试，以帮助确定是什么原因导致孩子的症状并提供最合适的治疗方法。
Stomach aches may seem common for some kids, especially as they work through new diets, try new foods, or have the occasional junk food overload.
Pain in the abdomen may signal a more serious issue if you notice an extra level of discomfort in your child, such as:
- 右侧腹痛
- vomiting
- 腹泻
- 触摸时胃部压痛
例如，这种类型的腹部疼痛可能表明诸如appendicitis。The key difference between appendicitis and a stomach virus is that in appendicitis, the stomach pain worsens over time.
Extreme fatigue is a symptom that shouldn’t be ignored. If your child shows symptoms of fatigue or doesn’t seem to have their usual energy for an extended period of time, talk to your pediatrician.
极度疲劳可能有几种不同的原因。不要将这些抱怨作为深夜或青春期的症状。您的儿科医生可能会调查一系列可能性，包括贫血,吸收不良综合征， 和抑郁症。
重要的是，尤其是在青少年的情况下，让您的孩子可以选择在房间里与他们的医生交谈。您的孩子，尤其是一个大孩子，可能会更愿意与医生独立谈论特定的医疗或社会问题。
根据疾病预防控制中心的说法
Treatment doesn’t cure asthma, but it does help minimize symptoms or stop asthma attacks when they occur. If you notice your child is having breathing problems, talk to your pediatrician.
原因不明的体重减轻可以是一个关于symptom.
Slight fluctuations in a child’s weight are generally normal. But dramatic and otherwise unintended weight loss could be a sign of a problem.
如果您发现孩子的体重突然，无法解释的降低，那么重要的是要见他们的儿科医生。让他们尽快知道减肥问题。他们可以提出您的孩子的问题和订单测试，以寻找减肥的原因。
花费数小时的跑步和玩游戏需要足够的水合。极端口渴是另一回事。
如果您注意到您的孩子有必要喝水或似乎无法满足他们的口渴，请见他们的儿科医生。持续的口渴可能是糖尿病等潜在健康状况的迹象。
According to the American Diabetes Association, about125万children and adults in the United States live with1型糖尿病。与老年人相比，它在儿童和年轻人中更常见。
过量的口渴只是1型糖尿病的一种症状。其他症状包括排尿，极端饥饿，体重减轻和疲劳。如果存在这些症状，请预约您的孩子去看儿科医生。
例行医生的探访是确保您的孩子保持健康的重要组成部分。但是，即使您的孩子不进行检查，也必须看到他们的儿科医生，如果他们经历了意外且可能严重的症状。
Getting early treatment for a new health condition can make a big difference. Diagnosing and treating the condition can help prevent future complications. It can also potentially help your child to start feeling better sooner.
