Patient's question:
The baby is now 3 years and 3 months old. On September 27th, he started coughing, and by the evening of the 28th, he had developed a low fever. On October 2nd, he had another low fever, and on the 3rd, he was admitted to the local hospital. He was diagnosed with bronchopneumonia. After receiving intravenous fluids, his low fever did not subside. On the 6th, he was taken to the Nanjing Children's Hospital for follow-up treatment, where he was still treated for bronchopneumonia. After 3 days of outpatient intravenous fluids, his fever subsided, but he developed weakness in both upper limbs and was unable to sit or stand. He was admitted to the infectious diseases department, and after 2 days, he was transferred to the pediatric neurology department. The hospital suspects that the damage may be to the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. Now, his hands cannot move, his feet have strength, his neck has no fixed point, and he cannot sit or stand.Doctor's answer:
This situation needs to be considered, as the symptoms mentioned above are manifested due to damage to the nervous system. It is recommended to actively seek treatment and visit the pediatric neurology department at the local and provincial children's hospital for a thorough check-up. Once a clear diagnosis is confirmed, it is advisable to actively intervene and receive treatment. Neurotrophic drugs should be used. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby starts coughing on September 27th, when she is 3 years and 3 months old?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
