Question

My son is now 3 years old and frequently gets colds. His last cold lasted over a month, with a few days of fever. He received several days of anti-inflammatory injections and took antibiotics for about two weeks, leading to a weakened constitution. A pediatrician recommended injecting sedative to enhance his immunity. Can he receive the injection?

Answer

Sedative globulin can boost immunity. It is a blood product that requires a blood test before administration to ensure there are no infectious diseases or other issues. Generally, it is relatively safe unless there are special health conditions. Additionally, you can also give your child traditional Chinese medicine to regulate his body and improve his immunity. The doctor will make a decision based on your baby’s specific condition. However, it is essential to sign a blood transfusion consent form before administration. It is advisable to follow the professional doctor’s advice for treatment.
