How to deal with a child's cough with phlegm and nasal congestion

Patient's question:

The baby is three months old. Lately, she has been coughing with phlegm, and her nose is getting better and worse. Yesterday and today, after her naps, she has been running a fever!! I have a blood test report, but the doctor just said to take medicine, and the child still looks very uncomfortable!! Who can help me? What should I do??

Doctor's answer:

The test report is blurry, making it difficult to see the specific data. The baby has a cough with phlegm and a fever, so it's important to monitor for possible bronchial infection. Cephalosporin drugs for anti-inflammatory effects, plus children's cooling blood, and Qingfei Granules. If the white blood cell count is normal but the percentage of lymphocytes is high, it may indicate a viral infection, and you can add many heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs. When the baby has a fever with a temperature above 38.2°C, first use physical cooling methods, such as applying warm water to the neck, armpits, groin, and popliteal fossa, etc.
