Patient's question:
The baby is one year old. Last night, they suddenly had a fever with no prior symptoms. They have had a fever all day today, accompanied by mild coughing and runny nose. The hospital conducted a thorough examination for viral infections, and the doctor prescribed cold and fever-reducing syrup and Jinlian flower particles. Are these two medications effective? Why hasn't the fever subsided?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of a baby's cold, cough, and fever are all caused by viral infections. The fever often fluctuates for two or three days. It is recommended to focus on taking medicine on time, drink more water, and have a light and easily digestible diet. If the temperature drops below 38.5°C, use fever-reducing medication promptly. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my one-year-old suddenly has a fever last night?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
