Doctor's advice:
- “Prevention of injuries of children, mandatory tetanus vaccination. Often doctors deal with unvaccinated children with puncture wounds, when the child is infected, and we search the medicine for tetanus all throughout Kyiv in the shortest time.”
“It is important to explain all the medical aspects to parents. Maybe it will be superficial, without diving into terms, but they should certainly know what is going on with their child.”
“I do not allow the mothers whose children I treat to read various diagnoses in the Internet. You can search for general preventive measures, but under no circumstances should you determine a diagnosis or begin to treat the child by yourself.”
