According to the symptoms, the child has a cough with fever caused by an upper respiratory infection. It is usually a viral infection with secondary bacterial infection.Medical advice: The child's cough is due to fever, which is a case of lung heat. It is absolutely not advisable to take Shenling Bai Zhu Wan. Shenling Bai Zhu Wan is used to treat lung deficiency cough, such as chronic bronchitis. The child's cough is due to fever-induced external pathogens, which is a different condition.
The child's recurrent fever is due to bacterial infection and must be treated with anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications. The cold hands and feet are caused by fever and can be treated with oral medications such as Cefixime Granules, Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Xiao'er Qingfei Liangxue Granules, and Ruizhiqing. If the fever persists after taking these medications and the cough worsens, intravenous treatment is necessary. The preferred antibiotics are penicillin or cephalosporin, combined with Banlangen, and the course of intravenous treatment should last for 5 days.
Drink more water for the child, avoid getting cold, and pay attention to preventing colds.
