Question
My child had pneumonia when they were young, and although it has been cured, they are recently experiencing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, decreased appetite, and poor complexion. Examination shows increased pulmonary eosinophils. How can I assist with treatment?
Answer
For individuals over 1 year old in endemic areas, population surveys can be conducted in summer, and general treatment can be administered to those with microfilaria-positive or negative but with a history of filariasis and symptoms in winter. At the same time, a vigorous national health campaign should be launched to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds, and mosquito nets and insect repellent should be used during outdoor activities.
