Weak Baby

Asked for Female, 7 years

My baby girl was born perfectly normal but on the 8th day she got typhoid. Now she is 7 months old, but looks like a ten days baby. My doctor says that her mental growth is too weak. I have to ask is there any treatment for such babies?

Dear Patient,

Typhoid is a disease of the digestive system. So a general weakness and slowed growth may be expected and can be overcome with a good diet and a good child specialist’s guidance. However, I am not sure what your doctor means by weak mental growth. Can you tell me which signs made him say so? Is your child able to achieve all her milestones for her age? Some kids reach some milestones early, others reach it late. Mild delays are normal.

I feel a specialist is a better person to ask in clinic. Tests can be run and proper help can be sought to cope up with this situation.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
