A nine-month-old baby, who was found suffering from the COVID-19 on April 17, has come out victorious in the battle against the dreaded disease. The baby is the son of a Muazzin (attendant) of a mosque in Bhagat Singh colony of Dehradun who also is a patient of COVID-19. On Thursday, the baby was discharged from the Government Doon Medical College (GDMC) hospital after second consecutive sample of his was found negative for the disease. The pulmonary diseases expert of the GDMC, Dr Anurag Agarwal said that the baby was asymptotic and no medicine was administered to him.
The doctors believe that since the baby was being breast fed by his mother, he developed immunity which resulted in his fast recovery from the disease. Incidentally this baby is the youngest patient of the disease in the state and he recovered from the disease in just six days.
