Frequent Cold and Cough I Dr. Tanuja Mishra I Manipal Hospital Varthur Road

[Music] hi I'm Dr tanuja Mishra senior pediatric consultant in manipal hospital vur with special interest in allergy asth man sleep in pediatric patients a lot of parents ask why the kids gets repeated cold cuff and fever when they start going to school so the main cause is kids have very immature immunity system and when they get exposed to so many different types of viruses and bacteria they get the infection when they go to school also it's a very close contact for the peers they sayare 15 to 20 kids in the same room sometimes they sayare the same desk they play in the same playground sometimes they share the toys sometimes they Sayes the food and drink also so it is very easy for them to get infection from each other and we have also so many types of viruses are there even though one virus happens infect the child their immunity comes down for few days and it makes them prone for another infection that's why kids keeps on getting repeated viral infection and as of you know each viral infection causes fever and some cough cold for 10 days so once they recover from one virus then they again get another viral infection because of the low immunity and another cause of cuff cold is also allergy so if it is with fever cuff cold okay it's viral usually they recover in 10 15 days but sometimes without fever also cough cold can happen that is mainly allergies so parents sometimes tell okay if it is uh once fever in every 1 month or 6 weeks then it may be just viral cuff cold because as we know 6 to 10 viral infection in a year is normal in kids between 2 to 6 years but without fever continuously having some cuff cold then we should rule out some allergy causes where fever is a not a factor so allergies can be indoor allergies or outdoor allergies so when you use uh like all deodorant room freshener agbes PS and weight surfaces with fungal infection all those things can cause indor allergy and housemates also are very important causes of indoor allergy which can cause continuously cold and cff and when they go outside also like outside poin also is a very important factor for causing allergies and repeated cold and cough so whenever the child is having some cuff cold and he SE or see not recovering in 4 5 days actually we should consult a doctor and take fing
