Answer

What symptoms in children should parents in Mallorca watch for?

Parents in Mallorca should take persistent coughing, breathing difficulty, unusual tiredness or a clear worsening of symptoms seriously. In young children, bronchiolitis and similar infections can develop quickly, so it is sensible not to wait if a child seems to struggle more than expected. If a child is not drinking well, breathing faster than usual or seems unusually weak, medical advice is important.
