Patient's question:
Two and a half weeks ago, the baby coughed occasionally today during the day, and his nose is a bit stuffy. Is he catching a cold? His mother is currently sick, but she has taken preventive measures. Since the morning, the baby has been sleeping for a long time, and after waking up, he was dazed for a while before starting to cry loudly. Holding him makes him cry for a while, and then he is calm for about ten minutes before crying again. Just took his temperature with a thermometer: 37.5, 37.3.Doctor's answer:
This is the situation where the child has a cold, and the mother also has a cold. Although there are preventive measures in place, it is still easy to get infected. It spreads through the respiratory tract, so the child's crying and stuffy nose with low fever are related. The child feels uncomfortable, so they cry. Currently, the condition can be treated with oral pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindan tablets and cefixime granules. It is essential to pay attention to keeping warm. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. Otherwise, the child will cry because they are uncomfortable when they have a fever.
