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 high fever but also has phlegm?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 adding 0.5 degrees—any temperature above 37 degrees is considered a fever. Acetaminophen and Chlorpheniramine Granules can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay attention to keeping warm. In case of necessity, intravenous fluids can be administered 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 timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
