Patient's question:
The baby has already started to have a stuffy nose, followed by coughing, and then fever every other day. The fever has been around 37.8°C. In the last few days, the baby has also had diarrhea, about 3 to 4 times a day. The doctor at the hospital prescribed some medicine and gave intravenous drips.Doctor's answer:
If the baby has recurrent high fever and cough that hasn't subsided, it's recommended to go to a local hospital for a blood test and chest X-ray to check for any abnormal sounds in the lungs. There have been many cases of respiratory infections being split into enteritis recently. If the baby is eating, sleeping, playing, and urinating well, probiotics can be given to regulate the intestinal flora. It's advised to visit a pediatric department in a reputable, Class III-A hospital for follow-up and treatment based on the doctor's thorough examination.
