Patient's question:
I had a bit of cough during the day! On the 22nd night, my child had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. After taking fever-reducing medicine, she broke out in a lot of sweat to cool down! Afterwards, she had some coughing with phlegm! On the 24th night, she had another fever of 38 degrees Celsius! I only gave her water and used physical cooling methods! After the fever subsided, she broke out in sweat again! Is this necessary?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of your child's condition, the cough with phlegm accompanied by fever is generally caused by bronchitis, and anti-inflammatory medication can be taken. My suggestion is that if your child has a fever with a temperature above 38.5°C, they should take fever-reducing granules. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling measures can be applied. If your child has a fever, you can take them to the hospital for a blood test to reassess the medication based on the results.
