Guidance for Treating Children with Post-Acute Infection Syndromes: Special Series from The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mount Sinai
Having a child with a complex illness can be especially challenging for parents because of differing opinions among providers about causes, symptoms and treatments for disorders such as long COVID and chronic Lyme. “A common theme I would hear from parents is that they really had to push their providers to consider Lyme. Sometimes they even had to beg for testing to be done because it just wasn't considered a possibility,” says Dr. Charlotte Mao, a pediatric infectious disease physician working with leading foundations in the Lyme disease and associated infections arena. Adding to challenge is that kids often have trouble explaining their symptoms, says Dr. Lael Yonker, a pediatric pulmonologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. “I think takes a lot of patience by the pediatrician, listening carefully to the parents and patient, and really trying to dig into what their symptoms actually mean.” Join host Raven Baxter of The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mount Sinai as she draws out valuable guidance on how providers can work effectively with both children and parents during a journey laden with uncertainty. Key tips include having humility for the limits of your own knowledge, keeping an open mind for unexpected possibilities and having respect for what patients know about their own body. Don’t miss this wisdom drop from these deeply experienced pediatricians and researchers as our series on Post-Acute Infection Syndromes continues.
