This 16month old child was brought to the facility after she had spent 4 days in a peripheral makeshift quack clinic where she was being managed for symptoms that included fever, loose stool, vomiting and weakness. Upon realizing that she was not improving, the mother summon the courage to bring her to us. When we saw her, she was completely lifeless, her eyes were sunken, you could literary lift the skin from her body. She was also pale. She was still having diarrhea and she convulsed once. The parents had written her off. Well, God didn't.

We managed and discharged this adorable angel 4 days ago. The mother had approached a quack after the baby would not stop passing watery stool, vomiting, coughing and having constant fever. The man kept giving some injections until some good advocate of the facility saw the situation and advised her to rush down to our place.
24hours later, baby is Ruth is recuperating just well and parents are bit relaxed now....
In pediatrics care, it is one thing to get the right diagnosis and another to give the right medications. Their fluid management is as important as their dosage of drugs. You miss this you risk killing them. |
