Question
My son is currently 3 years old and frequently suffers from colds. His last cold lasted over a month, with a few days of fever during that time. He has undergone several days of antibiotic injections and about two weeks of antibiotic treatment, but his constitution has become very weak. A pediatrician has recommended administering intravenous prophylaxis to enhance his immunity. Can he receive the injection?
Answer
Intravenous immunoglobulin is a blood product that can boost immunity. A blood test is required before administration to ensure there are no infectious diseases or other issues. Generally, it is considered safe for individuals with no special constitution. Additionally, you can also consider giving your child traditional Chinese medicine to regulate his body and improve his immunity. Whether or not to administer intravenous prophylaxis should be decided based on his specific condition. However, regardless of the decision, it is essential to sign a blood transfusion consent form before undergoing the transfusion. It is recommended that you follow the advice of a professional doctor for better treatment outcomes.
