Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if the baby has a fever of 37.7°C?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to have symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees—over 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules for treatment. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to keeping warm, and if necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.There are many causes of respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
