How to treat persistent cough in babies

Patient's question:

The baby has been coughing for over 10 days, and it hasn't been too serious... This afternoon, she suddenly had a fever of 38.8... Went to the hospital for a urine test... The doctor prescribed a nebulizer medication... Cefuroxime...

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to assist you. Based on your description, it seems from the test results that your child not only has a bacterial infection but also a viral infection. Viral infections can also cause fever. If your child is playing games, it may not be necessary to rely on the virus to suppress their body temperature. I recommend consulting with a doctor, using some antiviral medication, and drinking more water. If the temperature doesn't come down, you can try adding some physical cooling methods and carefully monitor the situation. This is my advice for the question "How to treat a baby's cough that has lasted for over 10 days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
