Patient's question:
My child is 3 years and 3 months old. When he was 2, he was exposed to X-radiation several times and often got sick. Now he has a persistent cough that doesn't go away, and occasionally has clear nasal discharge. What should I do? How should I handle it?Doctor's answer:
Coughing needs to be treated with intravenous fluids at the hospital to control it, otherwise it may lead to pneumonia or asthma. It has nothing to do with X-ray exposure. Only exposure during fetal development can be harmful. Children get sick frequently at this age due to their own developmental issues. Before the age of 3, most children are breastfed, and breast milk contains maternal immune factors that can help strengthen the child's immunity, so children are generally not sick very often when they are very young. At the same time, let the child exercise more and get more sun exposure. If they get tonsillitis or other conditions, treat it promptly to avoid it becoming chronic. Don't be too anxious.
