Parents seek answers from doctors after baby dies from 'common cold'

The parents of a baby who died are demanding answers after discovering he had contracted a common childhood infection and not the rare condition that they were initially told.

Elijah Edwards passed away over a year ago and his parents were told that they had lost their son to an infection so rare he would be the only one in the country to die from it for years, reports Wales Online.

But Joann and Christian Edwards from Mountain Ash have since discovered that Elijah is not the only Welsh baby to have died from the enterovirus infection, and that multiple other babies in Wales had been fighting the condition too.
