Hi doctor, My son is 11 months old. He is suffering from cough and cold, and his BCG spot has also turned red. He received his vaccination long back. Then why did it turn red now? He is currently on Levolin. Please help.
Hi. There is no issue with the BCG spot turning red at 11 months of age. It is alright. As long as it is not swelling up and ulcerating completely, it is fine. Sometimes, some children may scratch it making it red. In this regard, I would advise you to get the BCG scar evaluated physically by a pediatrician. As regarding cough and cold, you can give syrup Levolin 2 ml twice a day along with syrup Montair LC 2.5 ml once a day for 5 to 7 days. SOS, you can use nebulization with Duolin if the cough is very severe.
