Illness in any case leaves an awful impact on the person of any age and if it is a child that one can already predict to see the impact to be little prolonged. Most of the times parents complaint to see some unexpected behavioural changes in their child after an acute illness such as viral, high fever, bad cough and cold. The child become irritated, frustrated, rebel, short-tempered and so on, the parents tend to feel this sudden drastic change in their child and get very upset. They feel surprised to see the child behaving in entirely a new way which is certainly not pleasing, in some cases the child start to scream, over cry and shout and compel the parents to fulfil his/her desires. The parents get upset to see that their child is not obeying them nor does he/she listen to them. But one thing that the parents need to learn here is that that these behavioural changes after such a bad illness are obvious and natural. The child has just got revived from the illness and he/she has suffered a lot during that illness, the frustration of having bitter medicines, tolerating unbearable body aches was not so easy for your little one. So now, the way the child is behaving is natural yet temporary. Post illness period is also crucial but would fade away very soon.
•What is most important for the parents to remember during the post illness time is to be very patient with the child.
•Avoid scolding, getting angry and irritated with the child rather try to empathize with him/her.
•Be polite and compassionate. Try to give as much love, affection and care as much you can.
•In the post illness phase the child becomes very insecure so let the child feel secure with you, be supportive and encouraging to him.
•For a temporary time do not expect the child to be perfect in commencing his basic activities, parents usually tend to impose the normal routine on the child as soon as he/she recovers from the illness but instead of this parents should give ample of time to the child to recover fully. The child would himself do his basic routine works when he would feel completely okay.
•And lastly, don’t panic after seeing such an uncertain behaviour of your child, behavioural changes after illness are quite obvious and which can be transformed by giving love and care to the child. But if some uncertain physical changes are persisting even after the illness then you must visit the doctor as soon as possible.
