Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 > I have not seen this boy as a patient yet. He is 5 years old and appears healthy, outgoing, and active. The boy has frequent croup and bronchial infections. His mother tells me that his dentist found rapid tooth decay and he currently has a boil on his gum which is being > treated with antibiotics. He experienced a ruptured appendix in his third year, for which he had an emergency surgery and recovered well. While coming down the birth canal he had a stroke, and needed to be monitored cardiopulmonarily in hospital for 2 weeks. He recovered > well from this, too. His mother is concerned about this latest finding (rapid tooth decay and gum boil) in the light of his frequent bronchial infections and wants him to see me for some preventive care. Although from his history one might expect this child to be on the > fragile, fearful side, he is a courageous little trooper. > Anyone out there have suggestions or comments to offer? Although I enjoy them, I have only a little experience with treating children. > Thanks, Frances -- Frances L. Gander, L.Ac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
