Australia is expected to experience an extremely hot summer with the likelihood of bushfires in the coming months. It is anticipated that the heatwave will be particularly challenging for children between the ages of 0-5 years. Common health issues that may arise include rashes, heatstroke, and diarrhoea. Associate Professor Dr Habib Bhurawala, Head of Paediatrics at Nepean Hospital, advises that while it is essential to protect children from the sun, it's important not to over-cover them or their prams.
