What Are The Chances Of Recurrence Of Primary Complex In A Child?
Is it possible that primary complex recur for the third time to a child? my son was first diagnosed and treated with primary complex in 2010 then in 2011 he got primary complex again and then put into medication again but with a higher dose for 6months. Now he has cough for about a month now and he loss his appetite and even lose his weight, and i am worried that could it be possible that he may have primary complex again for the third time.
