Patient's question:
Child is 3 years old, with a red throat and cough, and has a high fever 【The first time the high fever occurred at midnight, the second time at 11 PM, the third time at 8 PM, and the fourth time at 6 PM】What should I do? The child is 3 years old, and 4 days ago, they first had a slight cough and a red throat, then developed a high fever 【The first time the high fever occurred at midnight, the second time at 11 PM, the third time at 8 PM, and the fourth time at 6 PM. After developing a high fever, the cough became more frequent with phlegm. They have seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took traditional Chinese medicine for 3 days but didn’t feel any better, and the intervals of high fever became shorter. What kind of help is desired: What should I do? Should I focus solely on traditional Chinese medicine treatment?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, your child has an upper respiratory infection. In this case, traditional Chinese medicine is no longer effective, and Western medicine is needed. Go to the hospital to get some anti-inflammatory drugs and lung-cleaning, phlegm-removing drugs, plus antiviral drugs. If it really doesn't work, then intravenous treatment is necessary. Drink plenty of water. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my 3-year-old has a sore throat, cough, and fever?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
