Paediatric Revision 1 (Assessment)

Pediatrics

The document details three pediatric case studies. The first involves a 1-month-old infant with cough, rhinorrhea, and difficulty breathing, diagnosed with acute bronchiolitis due to RSV. The second case describes a child with progressive wheezing, leading to a diagnosis of acute severe asthma, with outlined investigations and management including bronchodilators, steroids, and magnesium sulfate. The third case presents a child with signs of severe malnutrition, dehydration, and potential pneumonia, requiring immediate interventions like glucose administration, blood transfusion, electrolyte correction, and antibiotic therapy.
