What should I do if the baby has a low fever and coughs with phlegm?

Patient's question:

Cough with phlegm, low-grade fever for 40 days. Test results: X-ray showed no pneumonia, blood test WBC 9.2 NE 26.7 LY 60.9. Past treatment and effectiveness: Hospitalization with Azithromycin, Piperacillin, Dobutamine had no effect. Desired help: Cough relief, phlegm reduction, fever reduction

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is mainly the clinical manifestations of low fever with cough in the child. From the blood test results, the child's white blood cell count is high, indicating that there is still a risk of contagion. However, it is normal for a 2-month-old child to have lower lymphocyte levels than neutrophils. It is recommended to add an antiviral oral liquid and a lung strength cough syrup, avoid intravenous fluids, drink more water, and parents should pay attention to frequently tapping the child's back to prevent pneumonia. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if a 2-month-old baby has low fever with mild cough and phlegm."
