chances of recurrence are less if the child is being healthy all these years. regarding runny most of nthe time , check for dust allergy or allergic rhinitis, constipation problem may be solved by altering his diet habbits by avoiding junk foods , including more fibres in the food and food given according to a regular time table. the symptoms of relapse are evening rise of temperature, chronic cough, weight loss , chronic abdominal pain, multiple enlarged lymphnodes . it can be diagnosed by doin a simple Mantoux test.
