Treatment for children with Covid-19 at Hai Duong Children's Hospital

All children under 1 year old, who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19, were admitted to the hospital with a high fever of 38-39 degrees Celsius or higher, runny nose, cough, fussiness, and loss of appetite. Before being admitted to the hospital, most of the children had their parents buy medicine for them to take at home but did not get better. Many people mistakenly thought their children had influenza A, influenza B... Only when they were admitted to the hospital for testing was it determined that they had Covid-19.

Dr. Nguyen Huu Vinh, Head of the Planning and Synthesis Department (Hai Duong Children's Hospital) said that children with Covid-19 who are treated at home without proper treatment regimens for a long time can cause dangerous complications related to the respiratory system. Therefore, when children show unusual health symptoms, parents need to take them to see a doctor for timely examination and treatment advice. Parents should not let their children come into contact with adults who show signs of illness, limit going to crowded places, and ensure children have a balanced daily diet to increase their resistance.
