Can a one-year-old baby take medicine when they have a runny nose, sneeze, and a fever?

Patient's question:

Severe hiccups, a lot of runny nose, severe coughing, vomiting every time I cough, vomiting after eating dinner once, high fever of 37.2 degrees Celsius during the day (not severe), prolonged high fever at night, it has been 3 days today, kicked off the blanket at night, treated... Today I went to see the doctor...

Doctor's answer:

A cold should be given enough attention (and certainly not self-medicate blindly)! For the safety and health of the baby, it is essential to visit a qualified private children's hospital to see a doctor and receive standardized and safe treatment.
Guidelines:
1. Infants' immune systems are often not fully developed, making it easy for them to contract other illnesses when they catch a cold. I believe that whenever a child gets sick, it should be given high attention! Regardless of the illness, the child should be taken to a children's hospital immediately—do not delay, as this may worsen the condition!!!!!!
2. Attention: It is currently the H1N1 influenza season. When visiting high-infection places like hospitals, it is crucial to wear a mask. Standard protective masks are recommended. Thin, ordinary masks can only ensure that the illness is not transmitted to others but cannot prevent infection with H1N1 during travel to and from the hospital or follow-up visits. Carelessness is not allowed!
3. I suggest you go to a public hospital for a check-up as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition. Large hospitals offer better basic guarantees, and delaying treatment may interfere with the child's health.
