However, some parents believe that if they wait for a while, the child will naturally recover. In reality, this approach is somewhat correct to a certain extent. For mild illnesses like the common cold or cough, allowing the child to rest can help them develop some antibodies that can protect them from future infections. However, parents should be aware that not all illnesses can be treated this way.<\/p><p>For some strong bacteria, waiting for a natural recovery can be dangerous. For example, with bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae or Neisseria meningitidis, if you wait for natural recovery, there can be serious consequences. Within 24 hours of infection, 1 in 10 people may die. Even if death doesn\u2019t occur, 1 to 2 individuals may end up with lifelong disabilities or complications. So whether you wait for natural recovery or not depends on whether the illness is mild or severe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60690a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"60690a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_524079622.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3844\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_524079622.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_524079622-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_524079622-768x505.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6321428 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6321428\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Secondly, in the case of some illnesses, even if a doctor can diagnose the condition, the effects of medication may not necessarily be immediate. As mentioned earlier, with bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae, there can sometimes be antibiotic resistance. That\u2019s why there\u2019s a saying that \u201cdiseases are shallow in Chinese medicine.\u201d Doctors may not always prescribe medication; what\u2019s most important is whether you develop complications or have any hidden risks.<\/p><p>On the other hand, taking medication is symptom management, which may not always be the most critical factor. Whether you wait for natural recovery depends on your luck. If it\u2019s just a mild illness, waiting for natural recovery is fine, but if it\u2019s a severe illness, it could lead to regrets. So from a doctor\u2019s perspective, it\u2019s always better to be cautious, meaning that life should never be used as a gamble.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source\uff1aPediatric Specialist Doctor, Chiu Cheung Shing W [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-promotion-of-healthy-happy-and-balanced-development-of-children"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3849"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6069,"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3849\/revisions\/6069"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kllck.edu.hk\/kllcdn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
