Among the entire social group, infants and young children are a relatively vulnerable group. Because their bodies have weak resistance, they are easily susceptible to bacterial invasion and illness at any time. Tuberculosis is a disease that is prone to occur in children. In order to protect children's physical health, parents should take preventive measures in their daily lives. However, what are the early symptoms of pediatric tuberculosis?
Early childhood tuberculosis is difficult to detect, so parents should pay attention to their children's physical condition, detect and treat it in a timely manner. Generally speaking, in the early stages of pediatric tuberculosis, symptoms such as mental fatigue, irritability, weakness, decreased appetite, and indigestion may occur, with the most obvious symptom being intermittent low-grade fever in children.
Secondly, most cases of tuberculosis in children are caused by first-time infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, when parents suspect that their children have tuberculosis, they can take them for a tuberculin test to understand their condition. For pediatric tuberculosis, as long as parents detect and treat it early, their children's bodies can be cured. To treat pediatric tuberculosis, it is necessary to adjust their diet and choose foods rich in protein and vitamins.
Parents also need to let their children rest well and ensure that they have sufficient sleep. If the child's tuberculosis is severe, hormone therapy can be used to alleviate low-grade fever attacks, enhance their appetite, and help their body recover. If the child's tuberculosis is not cured for a long time, surgical treatment may be needed in the future, which is to remove the child's lung lobes.
