Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even after visiting the hospital for a check-up, it hasn't helped. Could you please tell me if a temperature of 35.5°C is normal for a child with a cold?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it usually involves symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees—any reading above 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay close attention to keeping warm. In necessary cases, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.There are many causes that can lead to respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including measures to reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
