Question
My child, who is 4 years old, occasionally experiences throat swelling and I am worried about the potential negative effects on their physical development.
Answer
Based on past experience, each episode of throat swelling requires treatment with dexamethasone. Prolonged and frequent occurrences may have an impact on the child, particularly when they occur at night, posing higher risks. As children grow older and their immunity strengthens, this situation is expected to improve. However, close observation and vigilance are still necessary to avoid any potential dangers.
