Children’s Health
Be on the lookout for Reye’s Syndrome after the flu or chickenpox. Reye’s Syndrome does not happen very often. But you should know about it. Look for these signs:
* Vomiting over and over again. Or vomiting that does not stop.
* Loss of pep and energy.
* Acting very, very sleepy.
* Acting very, very cranky.
* Striking out at others.
* Acting strange.
* Convulsions.
(Note: If your child shows signs of Reye’s Syndrome, get medical care fast!)
