By Joymala Bagchi The ongoing second wave of Covid-19, in which number of children affected have seen a rise, has alerted the country s health experts to stress on ways to handle children, with pre-existing co-morbidities, who have been infected with the deadly virus.
The ongoing second wave of Covid-19, in which number of children affected have seen a rise, has alerted the country s health experts to stress on ways to handle children, with pre-existing co-morbidities, who have been infected with the deadly virus. In India, 26 per cent of the population is less than 14 years of age and nearly seven per cent are less than five-years-old. Prof Sheffali Gulati, a Child neurologist at All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi told ANI, What we are stressing at is how to handle the risk of children with pre-existing co-morbidities. Their risk stratification should be done because just like adults children are also not devoid of co-morbid conditions. There are children who are having a neurological problem or under long term medication for which they are given steroids. So we have to think in a different way for them.
