Will a 4-month-old child's cough affect health after taking an X-ray?

Patient's question:

A child had a chest X-ray at 4 months. It was the kind of X-ray that costs over 50 yuan and takes pictures of the lungs. What interference does it have on the child? Does it affect white blood cells and reproductive organs? How long does it stay in the body? Thank you all.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your condition and symptoms, if it is necessary to diagnose, the child may undergo a CT scan or a chest X-ray. The X-rays used today have a very low radiation level, and occasional examinations do not interfere with the body. They are even less likely to affect white blood cells and perinatal function. There is no need to worry. The above advice is for the question "Will taking an X-ray for a 4-month-old child with cough affect health?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
