Parents, don't look for disease always. It is easy for us to treat diseases like tonsillitis, ear infection, typhoid or even tuberculosis...as these are defined and there are specific guidelines for their treatment...
And more so, children mostly do not have concerns like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes ....
But a large percentage of kids suffer from loss of appetite, pain in abdomen, headache, non specific cough or pain in legs...
When we examine these children, there's rarely any disease, infact most of the times, it's their stress related to food , studies, peers or their anxiety as this is reinforced many a time by parents themselves unknowingly ..
It is very difficult to reassure parents that there is no significant illness...
