Is the baby's cough and sudden cold hands and feet at night the flu?

Patient's question:

A two-and-a-half-month-old baby has been coughing a few times these past few days and suddenly had cold hands and feet at night. I thought it was because the baby had pulled the blanket off during the night and got cold. I warmed them up, but later they had a fever of 38.3 degrees. It definitely can't be the flu.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, is it necessary to have further careful examination to confirm if it's the flu. The cold hands and feet are symptoms of a cold, so it is recommended to decide on a formal private traditional Chinese medicine pediatric clinic for a follow-up visit. Perform a blood routine test and procalcitonin examination to confirm the diagnosis. I hope my advice is helpful to you.
The above is the advice for the question "A 2.5-month-old baby has been coughing a few times these past two days and suddenly had cold hands and feet at night." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
