I Pediatric Pointers I by Dr. Joey Bell, Pembroke Pediatrics Last issue we talked about cold symptoms in children. As promised this issue we will talk about how to deal with frequent colds. The first thing to remember is that if your child is gaining weight and is vigorous the health of the child is going to be good. As mentioned last week, it is common for kids to have cold symptoms, especially in the first year of life. Children get over colds by themselves. Although you can reduce the symptoms with medication you cannot shorten the course of the cold. Remember as parents that the long term outlook for kids having colds is good. The number of colds will decrease over the years as your child's body builds up a good immunity to various cold viruses. A good rule of thumb is that your child can return to school or preschool when the fever is gone and the symptoms are not distracting to classmates, gym activities or teen sports may need to be postponed for several days until your child feels well enough to participate in these. It does not make sense to keep a child home until there is no more virus being spread because this could take 2 to 3 weeks. Children shed germs during the first few days of their cold illness, before they even look sick or have symptoms. In other words contact with respiratory infection is unavoidable in group settings such as school or daycare. When both parents work, repeated colds are extremely inconvenient and costly. Since the complication rate is low and the e improvement rate is slow do not hesitate to leave your child with someone else at these times, perhaps a babysiter who is willing to care for a child with a fever. In V general your child may go back to daycare when the fever is gone. There is no reason to prolong the recovery at home if you need to return to work. Remember, there is no instant care for recurrent colds and other viruses. Antibiotics do-not help unless your child has developed a complication caused by bacteria, such as ear infection, sinus infection, or pneumonia. Remember that colds are not caused by poor diet, lack of vitamins, bad weather, air conditioners, or wet feet. Remember also that the best time to have these inev itable cold infections and to develop immunity is during childhood. That is all on cold symptoms. Take care. We will talk again next week..
