Patient's question:
Baby? The past two days, I felt a stuffy throat with occasional coughing, but couldn't cough up the phlegm. Yesterday during the day, I had a cough with a runny nose, and at night, the baby cried non-stop. This morning, the temperature was 38.5 degrees. The child has been lacking energy. What should I do? Thank you!Medical history and treatment effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: How should this situation be resolved?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious categories, with infectious causes being more common. Fever is one of the most common causes. For fever, it is necessary to first identify the underlying cause. Recommendations: Address the problem based on the identified cause. When the body temperature is too high, it can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is also necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods for cooling the body are medication and physical cooling. Specific medication should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor.
