Pulmonary tuberculosis in children usually has a slow onset. Mild cases may be asymptomatic or only have low fever, mild cough, loss of appetite, etc. Slightly more serious cases have long-term irregular low fever, night sweats, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss and other symptoms of chronic tuberculosis poisoning. It can be avoided by timely treatment of daily colds. Generally speaking, the early stages of colds are viral infections. You can first give your baby some pediatric lung heat, cough and asthma oral liquid, which has the effects of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, relieving cough and asthma. Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang is a pure Chinese herbal preparation for clearing lung heat specifically for children. It is a classic prescription for clearing lung heat. During a fever, give your child more warm water and rest. You can also use physical cooling methods, observe your child's sweating, and change clothes frequently.

Generally speaking, early childhood tuberculosis is not easy to detect. This is because the early symptoms in children are not obvious, unlike those in adults, but may manifest as inactivity, lack of energy, irritability, or crying for no reason, and may also have night sweats, facial flushing, weight loss, weakness, loss of appetite and indigestion. In addition, most children with pulmonary tuberculosis are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis for the first time and are highly sensitive to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Once infected with the disease, there are often extensive inflammatory reactions around the tuberculosis lesions, the tuberculin test is strongly positive, and herpetic conjunctivitis and systemic lymphadenopathy will recur, which are not found in adult tuberculosis. Especially in children whose immune function is low, the lesions are not easy to detect and spread throughout the body. Therefore, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, such as tuberculous meningitis, is more common in children than in adults. When children are diagnosed with tuberculosis, their symptoms vary in severity. If you feel isolated or clustered swollen lymph nodes on the child's neck or under the jaw, especially if there is a patient with open pulmonary tuberculosis in the family and the child has not been vaccinated with BCG, you should be highly vigilant and seek medical attention in time for early diagnosis and treatment.

The above are the various common symptoms of early tuberculosis in children. It is difficult for many parents to detect such symptoms. Many children do not show any symptoms when they suffer from tuberculosis, so they cannot get timely treatment. If tuberculosis is not treated in time, the harm will be great. For the treatment of tuberculosis in children, it is necessary to reasonably adjust the psychological state of the children and improve their psychological pressure.
