The doctor named a way to prevent hidden diseases of children

Cardiologist Andrey Kondrakhin said that it is worth approaching the child's health check carefully, since many diseases may not give obvious signs for a long time.

In conversation with aif.ru On Tuesday, September 2, the doctor noted that the requirement to bring a child's health certificate to school should be taken seriously. According to him, children grow up and can get sick, while many diseases do not have obvious symptoms.
