Patient's question:
My son is currently 3 years old and often catches colds. His last cold lasted for more than a month, accompanied by a few days of fever. He received several days of anti-inflammatory injections and took antibiotics for over a week. His constitution has become weak. A pediatrician recommended intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to boost his immunity. May I ask if it is possible to receive the injection?Doctor's answer:
Immunoglobulin can enhance immunity. It belongs to blood products. Blood tests are required before administration to confirm the absence of infectious diseases. For most people, it is relatively safe, except for those with special constitutions. Oral traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to regulate the body and improve immunity. The doctor will make a decision based on the baby's specific condition. However, it is essential to sign a blood transfusion consent form before the infusion. It is recommended to follow the advice of professional doctors for treatment.
