Patient's question:
Rhinitis, allergic asthma. From six months old until now, he has almost had a fever every two months, sometimes once a month. His immunity is poor. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The baby usually has severe coughing when he has a fever, which can lead to pneumonia. He often receives intravenous treatment with cefixime, ribavirin, etc., and it gets better after several days. Urine test results are usually either viral or bacterial infections. What kind of assistance is expected: We hope the doctor can provide guidance, as much as possible to reduce and lower his immunity, so we can feel at ease when we go off work, and the baby can better transform.Doctor's answer:
First, repeated respiratory infections can lead to secondary immune dysfunction. It is recommended to first rule out immune dysfunction caused by this. The two medications used are also different; for humoral immune dysfunction, immune globulin can be used. For cellular autoimmune dysfunction, transfer factor can be used.Second, children with malnutrition, rickets, iron deficiency, or zinc deficiency are more prone to repeated respiratory infections. Detailed tests of hair or blood trace elements should be conducted, and a comprehensive evaluation should be made based on the overall condition. If a deficiency in trace elements is found, the cause of the nutritional deficiency should be identified promptly, and comprehensive prevention and treatment should be implemented under the guidance of an experienced doctor.
