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. Could you please advise what medicine to take for a baby with a fever and cough?Doctor's answer:
Generally caused by bacterial or viral infections, it's best to have a blood test. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can first use safe and low-side-effect fever-reducing medication, drink more water, use physical cooling methods, and prevent convulsions. There are many triggers for respiratory systems in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
