Patient's question:
My child is three years old this year, but he always gets sick. I heard from a colleague that he can be given immunoglobulin G to boost his immunity, which can prevent him from getting sick for about half a year. I would like to ask if there are any side effects or other risks associated with immunoglobulin G?First follow-up question: I heard it might also lead to AIDS. Is that possible? If he doesn’t receive immunoglobulin G, what supplements would be best?
Second follow-up question: Recently, he had a cough that developed into bronchopneumonia and was hospitalized for ten days. He just got discharged three days ago, and I thought he was better because his cough had almost stopped. But last night, he started coughing again. I’m really at my wit’s end with him. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the probability of getting AIDS is very low and generally does not occur. You can increase nutrition and do not necessarily need supplements. Encourage the child to participate in outdoor activities more. Exercise regularly to enhance physical fitness.There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
