Narratives about complaints in children and adolescents caused by wearing a mask are accumulating. There is, to date, no registry for side effects of masks.
The average wearing time of the mask was 270 minutes per day. Impairments caused by wearing the mask were reported by 68% of the parents.
These included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%) impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).
Parents, teachers and doctors report stigmatization, exclusion and
aggressive behavior towards children who do not wear a mask for psychological or medical reasons.
Inappropriate use of masks, which tends to be the case in children, may increase the risk of pathogen
spread and transmission through the increased tendency to put their fingers in their face, and may thus be
worse than not wearing a mask at all in some cases
