Having a child being treated at the Department of General Internal Medicine, E Hospital, Ms. HTT (resident in Hanoi) shared: “The baby was vomiting continuously at home, so the family took him to the emergency room. However, after Upon examination, the doctors discovered that the baby’s main disease was in the respiratory tract”.

It is known that the child has been infected with COVID-19 since February, has recovered and has no symptoms, recently the patient has a lot of cough and then vomits that can’t be stopped.

Lying in the same hospital room with Ms. T.’s child, another patient also had COVID-19 2 months ago and did not show any special symptoms. Recently, the patient showed signs of coughing a lot, having difficulty breathing, so his family took him to the doctor and found out bronchitis.

Through follow-up, doctors found that most of the patients who came to the doctor’s office when they were infected with COVID-19 mainly had high fever and mild respiratory symptoms. But after being negative for COVID-19, the patient came to the doctor with more aggressive respiratory symptoms.

Doctors especially recommend: Parents absolutely do not arbitrarily give antibiotics to children, especially children who have had COVID-19. When seeing a child showing signs of a prolonged cough, difficulty breathing, or fever, parents need to take their child to a medical facility soon for timely examination and treatment.
