Patient's question:
A two-year-old child has had a fever for two days, occasionally coughing without phlegm, and has a red throat. Does this indicate inflammation and bacterial infection? Is it necessary to take oral antibiotics?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the current condition of the baby is mainly considered to be due to the symptoms caused by an upper respiratory infection. If there is bacterial infection, blood tests need to be conducted to confirm it. However, the current symptoms can be treated with appropriate antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications for a few days to see if it helps. Additionally, rest and drink more hot water to recover quickly.
