A SET of “red flag” warning signs have been identified that can help doctors spot children with serious infections.
Rapid breathing, poor blood circulation at the skin, and rashes of small purple/red spots all indicate that a child has more than a minor cough or cold, say researchers, according to The Lancet.
Doctors were also urged to watch out for a temperature of more than 40°C among children who are brought into their surgeries and assessment units.
