The Preschooler is the succeeding stage of toddler development in the age group between 3 to 7 years old.  During this time, their physiological function evolution continued rapidly with the emphasis toward the proximity of adult.  

A Group of Preschooler

Moldable State

As a result, their power of understanding and imitation coupled with the accretion of language have fueled many abstract new ideas such as figures and time.  These changes are typically found in Preschooler which are mistakenly presumed by parents. Therefore supplementary attention is needed to inculcate ethical characteristic and good hygiene habit because the preschooler is, TYPICALLY, in this high degree of moldable states.

Moldable State

Seasonal Infections

As the physiological function growth progress has made the remarkable leap to perfection, the resulting anxiety and curiosity will lead the Preschooler to widen this horizon daily which in turn exposed them to the viral seasonal infections like:- 

•   Oedema

•   Arthralgia

A Preschooler has painful Arthralgia

Oedema

In general, oedema occurs when the body retains excess water in the tissue and can't pass out through the proper channels like the kidneys and urinary tract.  Swelling and puffiness can be easily noticed in the affected area.

Usually, oedema starts from feet and moves upward to the various parts of the body.

Arthralgia

Arthralgia is a pain in the joint.  Common causes found are:

1.  Sports injury
2.  Overuse of one part;  one leg or two arm
3.  Bacteria infections like chickenpox, mumps, flu.

Prevention and Healthcare System 

We'll realise there's a rising need to make all necessary prevention and healthcare to protect our Preschooler.  Inescapably, parental guidance plays a very important role in alerting Preschooler on the danger of food poisoning, electric shock and accidental injuries.
