Patient's question:
Baby is four months and ten days old. The first two days had a fever of 39 degrees and went to the hospital for four days of IV drip. The fever subsided, but now they are coughing, sneezing, and have a runny nose. What should be done? March 12, 2012, sneezing, runny nose, coughing. No, now do they need to have an IV drip or take medicine?Doctor's answer:
Based on the above considerations, the baby's fever, runny nose, cough, and hiccups may indicate a respiratory infection. Although the fever has subsided after receiving the injection, the virus in the body has not been completely eliminated. In addition to possible fever, it may even worsen. The reappearance of cough now proves that the condition is spreading. It is recommended to focus on treating the baby, preferably with intravenous therapy to suppress the condition quickly and effectively. If medication is taken, the condition may improve, but the treatment time may be longer or even worsen. The virus has been heavier than usual recently, making it easier for the condition to spread. We hope the baby recovers soon!!
