As Covid-19 has become prevalent in the community, we encourage parents to familiarize themselves with Multi-Inflammatory System – Covid (MIS-C), although not common, knowing the signs and symptoms can be very helpful. Ongoing fever associated with belly pain, rash, diarrhea, and vomiting are signs to pay attention to. Immediate medical attention is recommended. Different from adults, this has been noted only in children sometimes many weeks after recovery. Please find more info here. Vaccines can decrease the risk of MIS-C, so we encourage parents who have yet to consider vaccination do pay attention to the availability before Songrkan at various vaccine centers around the city (Bang Sue, Central Chaengwattana).
