Patient's question:
The child was born a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. I was wondering if it's okay to get the baby vaccinated because they have a bit of a runny nose.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is caused by catching a cold. Generally, it is not advisable to administer the vaccine through intramuscular injection. You need to actively treat and recover before you can receive the vaccine. Careful nursing and meticulous attention are required.The term "deaf-mute" refers to a condition that involves both hearing and speech impairments. Anyone born with severe deafness after birth or during early childhood, unable to hear speech sounds, and therefore unable to learn to speak, or who initially learns to speak but later loses the ability to speak again due to deafness, is considered deaf-mute.
Deaf individuals cannot speak because there is no lesion in the central or peripheral parts of the language system, but rather because hearing impairment prevents them from imitating and learning. They lose the ability to hear and distinguish language, and thus cannot self-correct. Deafness is the cause, while mutism is the result.
