Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The baby has had a cold these days (tears/running nose/saliva flow) and has taken Hao Wang Hao (the baby has stopped running nose, but is crying, still salivating, and the face is still very red. Today, the baby's face is very red and hot. I measured the temperature at 38.5 degrees, and I don't know what to do? Also, is there caffeine in the Hao Wang Hao the baby is eating, and is it bad for the baby?Duration and course of the current illness: 3 days
Current general condition: Red face, salivation, fever of 38.5 degrees, loves to cry
Medical history: The baby has had a cold three times in a row, and each time it hasn't recovered for a few days before getting sick again. Each time the baby has a cold, it also coughs.
Doctor's answer:
Hello:Your child's condition is actually just a common cold! There's no need to worry too much. A temperature of 38.5°C doesn't require special treatment—just drink more water and use lukewarm compresses (be careful not to let them get cold). If the temperature continues to rise, you can give them a fever-reducing medicine (such as Tylenol). The drooling may be due to swollen tonsils. Personally, I still recommend taking them to the hospital clinic for a check-up. Children shouldn't take medicine randomly! (I haven't used Hǎo Wáwa specifically, but caffeine won't have a significant side effect on children. Besides, the redness in their face, apart from the fever, could also be influenced by caffeine.)
Your child is currently in the age group that is prone to catching colds, and it will get better as they grow older!
