A top paediatrician called it speculatory on Wednesday if the future waves of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) would affect children with increased severity. "Whether the future waves will affect children more or with increased severity are speculations. Some may become silent while others may express anger and hyperactivity," Dr Kumar said. Dr Kumar said the vaccine available for pregnant women and lactating mothers "will give a certain degree of protection to the growing foetus and newborn against the deadly infection." If identified early, all these cases can be treated," Dr Kumar said.
