feed their mothers Because babies will increase their immune system by drinking
mother's milk The virus does not spread from mother's milk This disease is
spread by airborne particles Just as you have to take precautions against the
coronavirus, you will have to be careful in this case as well So mothers should
wear two masks to go to babies, even during breast feed Care must be taken so
that after touching the nose or mouth, the hand does not touch the child's body
Wash your hands frequently and touch the baby It is better not to go too close
to children who have a cold in the house

then another type of treatment In children under 1 year of age, only saline
drops are sometimes necessary to see how much respiratory distress is caused by
viral flu Sometimes need to re-nebulize Syrup is also given as needed All are
treated symptomatically Antibiotics are not required in this case
2. On the other hand, antibiotics should be given in case of
bacterial pneumonia If necessary, admission to the hospital is also required In
many cases oxygen has to be given to the child Children under the age of 6
months are also being kept on ventilation according to their physical condition
3. Since children come to us with symptoms like coronavirus
in these cases, we have to try to understand if it is covid or common flu In
many cases, covid is associated with loss of taste and smell Hence emphasis is
placed on testing children for covid only when such symptoms are present Otherwise
treatment for viral flu is started And if the child has to be admitted to
hospital, mandatory covid test is done
