Patient's question:
How to deal with a cold and fever in an eight-month-old babyDoctor's answer:
??The common cold is generally caused by respiratory viral infections. The typical symptoms include nasal congestion, cough, headache, fever, and other systemic symptoms. When a person gets cold, gets wet in the rain, or is excessively fatigued, their immune system weakens, allowing bacteria and viruses to invade. Treatment usually involves medications such as Contac, Quick, and Compound Aspirin. For a common cold, antibiotics are generally not necessary. It typically resolves on its own within about a week. However, if there is a secondary infection, symptomatic treatment is required. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to diet, avoiding cold and greasy foods, and to keep warm, with a focus on preventing colds.
