Patient's question:
The baby is nine months old. These past few days, both day and night, the baby has been crying and screaming more than usual. Even when offered solid food, the baby refuses to eat and only drinks milk. On December 31, 2018, the baby had a fever and was sick, but drinking medicine made it better. On January 2, 2019, the baby had another fever and drinking medicine also made it better. Today, the baby has a runny nose with nasal discharge and a bit of eye discharge. The baby has vomited twice. How did this come about?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the fever and abnormal sound suggest that the child has an acute infectious disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms. If the child's dry cough symptoms are severe at this time, they will not be able to take medication on their own. Even if medication is given, it will be quickly vomited out and will not achieve the intended therapeutic effect. It is recommended that you take the child to a local regular hospital pediatric department for a follow-up visit as soon as possible. Under the doctor's direct guidance, a thorough examination should be conducted, and appropriate intravenous medication treatment should be administered by the doctor.
