What happens to the cough after the baby's fever goes away?

Patient's question:

The baby is two years old and has a fever. They went to the hospital for a thorough examination and were diagnosed with type A influenza. They were prescribed many medications and took them for 5 days. The fever has gone away, but the baby still has a cough and often sleeps.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, considering the current recurrence is likely to be influenza A, with symptoms of cough and poor appetite, there may be bronchitis. In this case, it is recommended to take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a thorough chest X-ray examination to diagnose the cough and the reason for always sleeping. If medication is needed, pay attention to adjusting the baby's clothing appropriately, ensuring a nutritious diet, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding fatigue.
