Head
Injury
Following head injury one should look for the
following symptoms and/or signs that will require medical intervention:
1. Headache
2. Vomiting
3. Drowsiness
4. Abnormal movements including blurred
vision
In case any of the above symptoms occur
then do take the patient to the hospital for further management.
Middle
Ear Infection
Following upper respiratory tract infection
one can develop acute otitis media (middle ear infection) in which the pain is
unbearable. Once fluid starts draining from the ear the pain subsides.
In middle ear infection kindly consult your
doctor who shall start:
1. Antibiotic
2. Decongestant
The antibiotic shall have to be continued
for at least a week for the middle ear infection to get controlled.
Repeated
URTI
It is not unusual for children of age group
1-5 years to develop upper respiratory tract infection frequently. As a new-born
reaches the first birthday the immunity received at birth from the mother wanes
off and the child has to develop his own immunity. This is only possible by
repeated infection and this phenomenon persists for a couple of years. Most of
the time nothing has to be done but a few times in a year medication will be
required to control the infection.
