The child's grandmother has a fever and took her to the hospital once. Then she started running a runny nose and coughing. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The night before last, she ate a little...Doctor's answer:
Low resistance, especially in artificially raised children, is prone to secondary respiratory infections, also known as fever. Based on your baby's symptoms, it is a typical viral fever.Recommendations: For treating fever, the main approach is symptomatic treatment. The medication you are currently taking can effectively suppress fever symptoms. Cephalosporin can help prevent secondary infections, and acetaminophen and chlorpheniramine can alleviate respiratory discomfort in children. Bamboo juice can help clear the lungs. Considering it is a viral fever, ribavirin granules should be added for antiviral treatment. The course of fever treatment generally lasts about a week. If there is no significant improvement after taking medication for three days, or if secondary fever symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek hospital treatment for intravenous infusion.
