Along with the ongoing coronavirus spread, another contagious disease has come to light – Tomato flu. The viral disease has emerged in Kerala, India. According to health experts, it is affecting children aged 5 and below. The name of the disease was given after observing its symptoms, usually red blisters and rashes that appear once the child is infected. Apart from this, the infected child feels dehydrated frequently. Although, until now, there isn’t a lot of information available on this, the doctors have recommended parents to keep a check on their wards. The infected children are advised to stay in isolation if any symptoms are found. Tomato flu is considered contagious and can spread rapidly from one individual to another.
