Patient's question:
Five-month-old baby got vaccinated five days ago. Since yesterday, they have started coughing with phlegm but are in good spirits. Yesterday, their condition worsened slightly, so they went to the pharmacy to get patches on their navel, neck, and throat. They also picked up some lung clearing and blood cooling medicine. The doctor said they cannot take anti-inflammatory medication because they have just been vaccinated. Today, they applied the patches again. In the morning, their temperature was 37°C, and their spirits were still relatively good, though they were clearly not doing well. By 7 PM, their temperature had risen to 37.7°C, so they applied a fever-reducing patch to their forehead.Doctor's answer:
A five-month-old baby developed coughing again after vaccination, with phlegm and a slight fever. The baby is in good spirits. Clear lung and phlegm-reducing medicine has been given to the child. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, do not use fever-reducing medication. The child should be given plenty of fluids and eat light food. If the child's spirits are not good, seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment. The above advice is for the question "A five-month-old baby started coughing with phlegm the day after getting vaccinated yesterday, but is in good spirits." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
