If you feel like chronic congestion and snoring returned after an adenoidectomy I'd follow up back up with the ENT who performed the surgery to determine next steps

If the child didn’t get the second dose after 4 weeks do they have to start over?

@pedsdoctalktv9960 Жыл бұрын

No, don't need to start over for that season. I mentioned in the video, but some docs don't do the two doses back to back (so not a consensus). So, just say your 5 year old gets one vaccine this season (and has never had the vaccine before), they should technically get another one 4 weeks later. If they dont, the following season (2023-2024 season) they should get two 4-weeks apart. Once they have received the two 4 weeks apart, then they only need one vaccine every season there on!

My son has the flu. He doesn’t have an appetite:( should I push food 🍲 and what kind ?

@pedsdoctalktv9960 6 ай бұрын

let him guide you. If he's asking for food, offer light bland foods, like crackers or a banana. but don't worry too much if he's not hungry/doesnt want to eat, drinking is more important to stay hydrated. check out this blog post for info on how to encourage hydration/monitor for dehydration

Same here. If you do a little tiny bit of research we know that flu vaccines are filled with toxins. Why would you recommend that to a normally developing child with no underlying issues? Makes no sense.
