Medicine: Respiratory infections are on the rise these days, avoid antibiotics
Pediatrician Sonila Brati

Pediatrician Sonila Brati spoke today in a "Skype" link for Klan News about the "RSV" virus and the flow of patients in hospitals these days.

Brati said that all categories are affected by symptoms such as cough, fever and breathing difficulties. But according to her, the most cases are in children, who need special care so that they do not have consequences in the respiratory tract.

The doctor emphasized, among other things, that the use of antibiotics should not be done without a doctor's recommendation.

Sonila Brati: Decreased oxygenation has consequences for the lungs, serious consequences if not treated in time by a doctor. Symptoms are cough, difficulty breathing and fever.

Q: Can a mother tell if her child has RSV?

Sonila Brati: When there are some types of viruses circulating, which have been circulating for days. The temperature has been problematic for almost a week, 39 or 40. All categories are affected. From a viral situation to a bacterial situation, respiratory infections have increased these days.

Parents have a hard time distinguishing whether it is normal flu or RSV, they should go to the doctor and not leave these symptoms for a long time because the condition can become serious.

The first step is to contact the pediatrician or the family doctor, they do not have to go to the emergency room for a fever. They have to go to us for all the symptoms they have, we are the ones who then take them to the hospital because there is also a flow of visits there.

Question: Are there precautions when a temperature is observed to avoid a serious condition in the child but also in adults?

Sonila Brati: This is something that can really work, multivitamins in children, avoiding closed spaces, wearing masks is necessary in hospitals or overcrowded spaces make it possible to ease the situation. Even hygiene is something that works and we suggest that parents take maximum care. Also giving fluids, feeding, consuming vitamins C and D.

Q: What is the approximate number of medical visits these days?

Sonila Brati: We have a high number of visits, on certain days we go 50 or more. On other days the average is 35, the most affected age from 0-10 years.

Question: What about the medication because we have found the quick solution which is the use of antibiotics, how harmful is it for children?

Sonila Brati: The use of antibiotics should only be done with a doctor's recommendation. If a situation is viral, antibiotics these days are of almost no value. The antibiotic lowers immunity and resistance and does not return the child to the best condition. Parents should also have patience for the temperature because antibiotics are not only dangerous and the side effects are seen later and can be long-term.
