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. How should I handle a 4-month-old baby with a cold and runny nose?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it usually involves symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees—anything above 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 factors that can affect a child's respiratory system. If the 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. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
